WHY
Democracy is not a spectator sport. The politicians and policies we choose in the 2020 election cycle will affect us every day, not just as U.S. citizens, but also as members of a student-athlete community. Our elected officials will make determinations on issues like:
-
Should student-athletes be paid? Receive compensation for NIL?
-
What are the free speech rights of a professional or student-athlete?
-
How should athletics departments around the county implement Title IX?
Voting affects you, your teammates, and your communities—athletic and otherwise. Do your part and get registered to vote with our partners at StanfordVotes.

"Before this year, I just believed that I never had a say in the political process. However, after talking to my teammates, I've learned that I can use my voice to facilitate positive change. I'm proud to be casting my first ballot for the November 3rd election."

“Just like you make your own life better by surrounding yourself with good people, voting gives you the chance to make the lives of the people in your country and community better by electing good people to your government.”

“Voting matters because it’s my chance to help make change and stand up for my beliefs. My vote is being cast in protection of our environment and for all of the Americans who deserve better treatment from the government.”
