In today's political climate, the presidential election can bring a lot of stressful feelings to folks of marginalized identities. Regardless of the candidate that is elected there are implications that could create harm and strife in peoples' lives. On Wednesday, November 6, the Cultural & Resource Centers are partnering with the Women's Center, Center for Latino Research, Health Promotions & Wellness, African and Black Diaspora Studies, and LGBTQ+ Studies to host Processing Politics. This event will run from 12:30-5:00PM and feature 4 educational workshops, guided discussion with mental health professions, destressing activities, and a community forum. Through this program, we hope to assist in easing any feelings of hopelessness and/or anxiety while igniting a passion for direct action and social change. Come to Processing Politics to discuss the importance of community, power building, and political action.

Please come back for more details on specific workshops and the community forum.

Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) in October of 2006, VOTE411.org is a "one-stop-shop" for election related information. It provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information on the following aspects of the election process:

  • Absentee ballot information
  • Ballot measure information (where applicable)
  • Early voting options (where applicable)
  • Election dates
  • Factual data on candidates in various federal, state and local races
  • General information on such topics as how to watch debates with a critical eye
  • ID requirements
  • Polling place locations
  • Registration deadlines
  • Voter qualifications
  • Voter registration forms
  • Voting machines

An important component of VOTE411.org is the polling place locator, which enables users to type in their address and retrieve the poll location for the voting precinct in which that address is located. The League has found that this is among the most sought after information in the immediate days leading up to, and on, Election Day.
