Thanks for the shoutout @Chwistofu! We’re committed to getting more scientists and engineers involved in #SciPol, even beyond voting, so check out @iamscicomm this week to see how you can continue to #EngageLocal after the election!
Before we dive in, an important PSA for all US followers: it's one week until #ElectionDay, so make sure you have (1) have a voting plan, (2) #VOTE early if you can, and (3) check on your friends and make sure they vote too! @STEMvotes#STEMvotes
STEM students, be sure to vote!
Did you know in 2016, only 43.6% of STEM students voted. In 2014, less than 16% cast a ballot.
Let’s change that. #STEMvotes@STEMvotes
Are you a CA #STEM student confused by your #2020Election#ballot? Come to our @STEMvotes Voter Information Night tomorrow!
We’ll explain CA, Berkeley, Oakland, & Alameda County propositions and measures to help you and get out the #STEMvotes!

This toolkit contains *very specific* instructions (e.g. w/ scripts and templates) for how to make sure everyone in your STEM community votes, including how to organize a voter registration drive and how to increase student voter participation! #STEMvotes#EngageLocal
@UCB_SciPolicy also created the @STEMvotes initiative in 2018, with resources for organizing STEM students. @sciencemarchnyc has teamed up with them this yr to release an updated tool kit, so stay tuned ✨
STEM students, let's be a part of this. Only 34.4% of STEM students voted in the last election, the 2018 midterms. Let's show that #STEMVotes! @STEMvotes@UCB_SciPolicy
If you missed any of the great #STEMvotes webinars on #SciPol topics relevant to voters this fall from our friends @sciencemarchnyc, check out the recordings here and save the date for the upcoming ones! @STEMvotes@scipolnetwork
Honestly amazes me all the things I've learned during this one hour talks, featuring academics & community organizers. Check em out to date we've got two more left, on gun policy and education policy, this week & next.
