Funding and Transportation
CarlsVote can support student organization and initiatives for student political engagement by helping to fund small expenditures for an upcoming meeting or event through the CCCE (This would be for expenses such as food or room set-ups. The CCCE does not fund speakers or large expenses as this is more within CSA’s realm). We also have offered transportation for activist events via EcoTrans, campus fleet vehicles, and other options. To request funding or transportation, please email Danielle Trajano with the following information: A description of the event including date and location, why you believe there is a need for this event on campus, what organization you represent, how many people you plan on attending, exactly how much money you are requesting and exactly what you plan on spending it on (if it is a funding request), and whether this event is open to all of campus. We will review this request and should be able to get back to you in a timely manner. We currently ask that all requests be sent at least a week in advance.
Elections
During national and local election seasons, the CarlsVote supports voter registration and get-out-to-vote efforts aimed at increasing student turnout. We also work to increase the availability of objective information about local candidates and organizes transportation to ensure student access to their polling location. If you would like more information on voting, visit the CCCE’s elections page or email Max Serota.
