Democracy Fellows will be selected from three campuses in Mississippi to mobilize students to take action on Common Cause campaigns like voting rights, redistricting reform and creating a more reflective democracy.
Students will hold civic / town hall style meetings, prepare campus educational events, work with campus administration, train other students on legislative advocacy, and work with local election officials on election readiness and election protection.
Each fellow will be an advocate for Common Cause Mississippi, lobby in the state capitol, get training to be a professional campaigner, develop plans and strategy with an adviser on campus, go and work with Common Cause Mississippi to build a better democracy.
Each fellow will also receive an $800/semester stipend.
