HBCU Challenge
The goal of the challenge is to register and motivate our peers to vote at HBCU’s, help to protect the vote on our campus and surrounding communities and we want to energize and create excitement around the upcoming election.
HBCU’s serve as the pulse of a lot of our African-American communities and it is the vessel we need to galvanize Black youth voters to register, protect and get out the vote in 2012 in record numbers!
- The HBCU Challenge will be percentage-based, contingent upon the population of students who are registered at the respective institution and registration will be tallied through “Pledge Cards”.
- All schools will be recognized by the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation for their HBCU Challenge efforts on their campus.
- The school that proportionally has the most students registered to vote and sign up to volunteer to be poll workers or poll monitors in their local communities, will receive an invitation to have a representative speak at the NCBCP Unity ’12 Campaign Post Election Press Briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, in November 2012 and will be receive the Black Youth Vote! Campus of the Year Award and recognized during the press conference.
