Get inspired by civic movements taking shape across the nation, and discover the blueprint for action you can take to positively impact your community.

The novel coronavirus disrupted college life in a big way. Amid the chaos of moving out of dorms and transitioning to online learning, college students were uncertain about how and where to vote. In light of the many questions we received, we decided to call in the experts: the PA Department of State's Tiffany Chang Lawson and All In Challenge Executive Director Jennifer Domagal-Goldman.

They join C70 CEO David Thornburgh to discuss the All In Campus Democracy Challenge through Civic Nation and the DoS, and the challenges facing college students who want to vote amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This national election year is haunted by worries about polarization, voter fraud and suppression, toxic social media and disinformation campaigns. What can an individual voter do about all that? Plenty. As part of its Campaign for Political Responsibility (CPR), the Committee of Seventy is promoting Five Habits of Highly Effective Citizens. Seventy's CEO David Thornburgh talks with journalist Chris Satullo about what those habits are, why they matter and what Seventy is doing to help people uphold them.
