According to RavenDouglas_, deputy director for MOVE_Texas, the state’s strict voter registration laws and poor voting experience have had a direct impact on youth voter access
And as a state, we have immigration issues. Texas is one of the most difficult states to get registered to vote and to turn out to vote in. It’s really important that we are working every day to change those systems. Whether it be healthcare, student loan debt, or immigration — a lot of these issues can be impacted by voting.
MTV News: What are some of the things that you worked on in the past that you believe really made an impact? And what are you working on in the future, especially with the upcoming presidential election?MOVE Texas was once MOVE San Antonio. We went statewide about a year ago and we’re really excited to see what our work statewide will look like. We've already seen in the 2018 election, for example, in Austin where we do work, that people under the age of 35 voted more.
We just launched our Democracy from the Ground Up Campaign. The purpose of this campaign is to get more progressive access to voting, and whether that extends to voting on college campuses or voter registration, we’re working to bring state issues to a local level. We are working with county commissioners in Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston to pass aggressive voting rights.
