The United States Student Association (USSA) is the nation’s oldest, largest, and most inclusive national student organization.  For over 60 years USSA has been engaging students in the political process, empowering them to be the voice for change on their campuses.  USSA is the recognized voice of students on Capitol Hill, in the White House and at the Department of Education.  And now we must be the recognized voice of students at the ballot box.

Students’ votes are crucial for electing education friendly representatives.  To ensure that students turn out to vote, USSA Foundation (USSAF), USSA’s tax-exempt arm, is running a non-partisan voter registration, education, and get out the vote campaign on 40 campuses across the country.  Through an effective peer-to-peer program USSAF will train students who will register at least 75,000 students to vote in 6 states; California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Some states face ballot measures that will restrict access to higher education for thousands of students.  In addition to USSAF’s non-partisan work, USSA has also launched an educational electoral campaign that will defeat an anti-affirmative action ballot initiative in Colorado.
