Very proud to announce a new initiative to register Iowa high school students to vote. Schools that register at least 90% of eligible students will receive the Carrie Chapman Catt Award, named for Iowan who was a national leader in women's suffrage movement. #VoterReg
To kick off the drive, we helped 3 17-year-olds #RegistertoVote atop the Iowa Constitution. Thanks to Julia Tubbs, Sarah Witmer & Jaxon Gambrall for registering. To sign up your school, and receive free resources and tools, visit inspire2vote.org/iowasignup. #BeAVoter
