You\u2019d be hard-pressed \u200cto find a more\u2064 energetic group of go-getters \u200bthan the army of vote wranglers in the Students Learn Students Vote\u2064 Coalition<\/a>. SLSV, which bills itself<\/a> \u200das the \u201cnational hub & largest nonpartisan network in the country dedicated to increasing student\u200c voter participation,\u201d is definitely dedicated. <\/p>\n

But the coalition, which is at best\u2064 \u201cnonpartisan\u201d in name only,\u2063 is just\u200c one of a litany\u200c of leftist groups tirelessly and cooperatively working around the nation, particularly in the election-deciding battleground states, to \u200delect Democrats. <\/p>\n

The mission-focused\u200b group is but one working \u2062example \u2062of why the\u200b left is a well-oiled machine in turning out votes, especially among\u2063 younger voters<\/a>. But\u2063 conservatives are waking up and pushing \u2062back, using some of the same get-out-the-vote (GOTV)\u200b strategies and\u200b tactics that Democrats have so effectively employed to win. <\/p>\n

SLSV\u2019s monthly meeting in February featured Amanda Fuchs Miller,<\/a> deputy assistant secretary<\/a><\/a> in the Office of Postsecondary Education at the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). The bureaucrat gave the clubhouse gang a rundown of DOE\u2019s legally suspect plan<\/a> to use \u200dfederal work-study program funds to pay college students<\/a> to register their peers and \u2064work at the polls.\u200b It\u2019s\u2062 all part of the Bidenbucks plan<\/a>, the\u2062 Biden \u2063administration\u2019s sweeping get-out-the-vote campaign using federal agencies and liberal groups to target Democrat-leaning voters ahead of \u2064November\u2019s presidential election. <\/p>\n

Yet there was so much more to\u2062 the coalition\u2019s February Zoom call<\/a>: a presentation on the output of SLSV\u2019s bee-busy working groups, an update on upcoming\u2062 Action Plan Workshops, and a detailed discussion of the group\u2019s goals this election year\u200c and beyond. <\/p>\n

The meeting opened with a partner spotlight of Tevon\u2063 Blair<\/a>, co-founder of Xceleader<\/a>. Blair is a \u201cstrategic communicator and social \u200dequity advocate in the \u2064nonprofit\u200b and political sector,\u201d according to his company website bio. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Groups like SLSV and Xceleader are in it to win it all year \u200dround. <\/p>\n

\u201cStudents enjoy that they know that every time a presidential election or governor\u2019s race\u2064 comes around, they know there\u2019s going to be somebody on that campus trying to get them activated,\u201d Blair told his leftist \u200callies on the Zoom call. <\/p>\n

While SLSV\u2019s foot soldiers may be mainly made up of fresh-faced, wide-eyed left-wing college students, the organization \u200dand \u2063partner groups such as\u2064 Xceleader \u200dare directed by seasoned former \u200cDemocrat operatives tapped into a vast network of far-left money and resources.\u200b <\/p>\n

Blair worked on<\/a> Democrat \u200dStacey Abrams\u2019 failed Georgia gubernatorial<\/a> campaign<\/a>. That fact might suggest how he and his organization get young voters \u201cactivated.\u201d SLSV\u2019s co-founder and Executive Director Clarissa \u200dUnger<\/a> is a proud alumna of Barack Obama\u2019s 2008 presidential campaign. <\/p>\n

\u201cBeing\u2062 a part of the Obama 2008 campaign was an honor and a transformative experience. 15\u200b years later, I love that I still get to spend every day working to\u2062 help students across the country\u2062 have a voice in our elections. #ObamaAlumni<\/a> #Obama08<\/a> #YesWeCan<\/a>,\u201d Unger wrote last November \u200bin response to Valerie Jarrett, President Obama\u2019s former senior adviser and \u2064CEO of the Obama Foundation. <\/p>\n
