On September 17th of every year, we celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. We also celebrate National Voter Registration Day on September 15th this year and have multiple opportunities to connect and explore voter education and registration resources throughout the month of September and beyond! 

Below are some of Septembers engagement opportunities around voter education, registration, and our democracy (updates made as they are added to the calendar): 

Bergren Forum - Governed By the Present: Reclaiming the Power of the Local Vote 

• September 3rd - Nevins Theater AU Campus 12:15-1p.m.
• While national politics consumes the headline news, the policies that directly shape our day-to-day lives, from public schools and housing to local infrastructure, including data center construction, are decided right in our own backyards.   Municipal and local elections routinely suffer from low voter turnout, despite the immediate impact these results have on our lives.  For this reason, local governance remains a high-leverage arena where individual actions can have a significant impact.  This talk will focus on the importance of local governance, the transformative potential of community organizing, and the profound fulfillment that comes from taking ownership of the place we call home.  

Voter Education and Registration Resource Tables
