Monolingual-Cantonese speaking Chinese tenants joined other organizers on the streets against San Francisco’s largest landlord, Veritas — which operates more than 250 buildings in the city — to protest rent-hikes to pay for construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11834564/what-a-wechat-ban-means-for-politics-in-chinatown\">organizing tool is threatened\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Marjan Philhour, a candidate for San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors representing the Richmond District\"]‘In campaigning, especially since it is not safe to proactively go out and meet people face to face, WeChat is one place to organize and meet the community where they are.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Donald Trump\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-addressing-threat-posed-tiktok/\"> issued an executive order\u003c/a> in early August that may lead to a ban on social media giants TikTok and WeChat on Sept. 20, because he says the two Chinese companies pose a threat to national security. A nonprofit group, the WeChat Users Alliance, filed a suit against the Trump administration Friday to halt his ban, calling it a violation of constitutional rights and claiming it targets an oft-marginalized group, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/technology/513262-wechat-users-sue-to-block-trump-ban-on-chinese-app\">according to The Hill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly, WeChat has drawn critique from even its own community, having censored messages in China — including reportedly suppressing political speech and blocking keywords surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Chinese Progressive Association, grassroots organizers and politicians agree that in San Francisco, a ban on WeChat would hamper a major communication tool within the monolingual Chinese community, particularly in one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods: Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Pillar of the Community\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Chinese community reads, watches and listens to the news in their own language and dialects: newspapers like Sing Tao Daily and the World Journal, or broadcast entities like Sing Tao Chinese Radio and TV station KTSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Chinatown is often a key first stop for recent Chinese immigrants who may not know English, those media outlets are depended on to inform a community who don’t have access to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Examiner or even KQED, for that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chinese media, I think not just in San Francisco, but in the Bay Area, I think plays a crucial role in how the monolingual immigrant community gets their information,” said Malcolm Yeung, executive director of the nonprofit Chinatown Community Development Center. “For as long as I’ve worked in the community, Chinese media in some form or another has been the primary source of information for folks in the Chinese monolingual community in particular.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11835496\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11835496\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-1020x1813.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-160x284.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chinese Progressive Association’s staff uses WeChat’s voice memo function to directly message a Single Room Occupancy resident, Ah Ying, to bring their family to the Veritas rent passthrough march.

(WeChat Screenshot)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The monolingual and bilingual Chinese community, then, has its own media ecosystem. But in recent years, WeChat has emerged as its own pillar in that ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After its launch in 2010, it started as a way for people to affordably communicate across the world, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfweekly.com/news/trumps-wechat-ban-threatens-lifeline-for-chinese-diaspora/\">expanding in popularity in the Chinese community locally and in similar communities across the country\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that popularity also fed the platform’s growth in information-sharing, a change that paralleled new features in the app, including a Facebook-like “timeline.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two candidates competing to represent San Francisco’s Richmond District on the Board of Supervisors, Marjan Philhour and Connie Chan, both said they utilize WeChat to reach out to monolingual Chinese voters, an important community group in their campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In campaigning, especially since it is not safe to proactively go out and meet people face to face, WeChat is one place to organize and meet the community where they are,” Philhour said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of that campaigning encompasses housing rights. Chan said her campaign often sends notifications about the city and state’s eviction moratoriums to voters on WeChat. “That’s been critical to a lot of new immigrants who are actually still fluent in Chinese,” no matter how long they’ve been here, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason Lee, a Chinese community liaison from San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s office, said more members of the Chinese community reach out to Breed on WeChat than by phone or email. The Mayor’s office often uses WeChat as a resource for small businesses or informing tenants about their rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The platform’s growth is still historically new and has caught some off guard. Yeung said his organization, CCDC, recently completed a survey of residents in the Single Room Occupancy developments they operate. Other SRO hotels often house vulnerable, low-income families who live in single rooms but use shared kitchens and bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always like to ask, ‘Where do you get your source of information?’ And for SRO families, it was shocking to me that more than half relied on WeChat for information, you know, versus Chinese media, which really kind of shows you the evolution and growth of the platform in our community,” Yeung said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even as the platform grew as a news source, it grew as an organizing source as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Organizing for Themselves\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since 1972, the Chinese Progressive Association has organized its community in Chinatown, and beyond, to push for better wages, protect tenants and advocate for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, much of that organizing gets off the ground on WeChat. KC Ho, a community organizer at the Chinese Progressive Association, said the organization’s dependence on WeChat goes beyond the occasional, simple two-way message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the years we’ve also grown our groups, and WeChat groups associated with us,” Ho said. There are groups, within groups, within groups — all communicating to harness tenants’ rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese Progressive Association organizes 50 single room occupancy hotels in Chinatown, which each can house a dozen living units, or more than a hundred. They host group chats between tenants who are organizing their own buildings, and group chats with tenants across each building, too.

A nonprofit group, the WeChat Users Alliance, filed a suit against the Trump administration Friday to halt his ban, calling it a violation of constitutional rights and claiming it targets an oft-marginalized group, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/technology/513262-wechat-users-sue-to-block-trump-ban-on-chinese-app\">according to The Hill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly, WeChat has drawn critique from even its own community, having censored messages in China — including reportedly suppressing political speech and blocking keywords surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Chinese Progressive Association, grassroots organizers and politicians agree that in San Francisco, a ban on WeChat would hamper a major communication tool within the monolingual Chinese community, particularly in one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods: Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Pillar of the Community\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Chinese community reads, watches and listens to the news in their own language and dialects: newspapers like Sing Tao Daily and the World Journal, or broadcast entities like Sing Tao Chinese Radio and TV station KTSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Chinatown is often a key first stop for recent Chinese immigrants who may not know English, those media outlets are depended on to inform a community who don’t have access to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Examiner or even KQED, for that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chinese media, I think not just in San Francisco, but in the Bay Area, I think plays a crucial role in how the monolingual immigrant community gets their information,” said Malcolm Yeung, executive director of the nonprofit Chinatown Community Development Center. “For as long as I’ve worked in the community, Chinese media in some form or another has been the primary source of information for folks in the Chinese monolingual community in particular.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11835496\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11835496\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-1020x1813.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-160x284.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chinese Progressive Association’s staff uses WeChat’s voice memo function to directly message a Single Room Occupancy resident, Ah Ying, to bring their family to the Veritas rent passthrough march.

(WeChat Screenshot)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The monolingual and bilingual Chinese community, then, has its own media ecosystem. But in recent years, WeChat has emerged as its own pillar in that ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After its launch in 2010, it started as a way for people to affordably communicate across the world, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfweekly.com/news/trumps-wechat-ban-threatens-lifeline-for-chinese-diaspora/\">expanding in popularity in the Chinese community locally and in similar communities across the country\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that popularity also fed the platform’s growth in information-sharing, a change that paralleled new features in the app, including a Facebook-like “timeline.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two candidates competing to represent San Francisco’s Richmond District on the Board of Supervisors, Marjan Philhour and Connie Chan, both said they utilize WeChat to reach out to monolingual Chinese voters, an important community group in their campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In campaigning, especially since it is not safe to proactively go out and meet people face to face, WeChat is one place to organize and meet the community where they are,” Philhour said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of that campaigning encompasses housing rights. Chan said her campaign often sends notifications about the city and state’s eviction moratoriums to voters on WeChat. “That’s been critical to a lot of new immigrants who are actually still fluent in Chinese,” no matter how long they’ve been here, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason Lee, a Chinese community liaison from San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s office, said more members of the Chinese community reach out to Breed on WeChat than by phone or email. The Mayor’s office often uses WeChat as a resource for small businesses or informing tenants about their rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The platform’s growth is still historically new and has caught some off guard. Yeung said his organization, CCDC, recently completed a survey of residents in the Single Room Occupancy developments they operate. Other SRO hotels often house vulnerable, low-income families who live in single rooms but use shared kitchens and bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always like to ask, ‘Where do you get your source of information?’ And for SRO families, it was shocking to me that more than half relied on WeChat for information, you know, versus Chinese media, which really kind of shows you the evolution and growth of the platform in our community,” Yeung said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even as the platform grew as a news source, it grew as an organizing source as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Organizing for Themselves\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since 1972, the Chinese Progressive Association has organized its community in Chinatown, and beyond, to push for better wages, protect tenants and advocate for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, much of that organizing gets off the ground on WeChat. KC Ho, a community organizer at the Chinese Progressive Association, said the organization’s dependence on WeChat goes beyond the occasional, simple two-way message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the years we’ve also grown our groups, and WeChat groups associated with us,” Ho said. There are groups, within groups, within groups — all communicating to harness tenants’ rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese Progressive Association organizes 50 single room occupancy hotels in Chinatown, which each can house a dozen living units, or more than a hundred. They host group chats between tenants who are organizing their own buildings, and group chats with tenants across each building, too. The uses range from the mundane — like settling arguments with landlords — to the eventful, like the aforementioned rent hike protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why not just use a new app?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people those organizations are reaching on WeChat are seniors who are slow to adopt new technology, organizers told KQED.

"content": "\u003cp>Senator Kamala Harris made history Wednesday night, becoming the first woman of color to accept the Democratic nomination for vice president in a speech where she passionately articulated the lessons she learned from her own mother, and what this election will mean for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this election, we have a chance to change the course of history. We’re all in this fight,” said Harris, an Oakland native who is both the first Black woman and Asian American to appear on a major party ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Years from now, this moment will have passed. And our children and our grandchildren will look in our eyes and ask us: ‘Where were you when the stakes were so high? They will ask us, what was it like?’ And we will tell them. We will tell them, not just how we felt. We will tell them what we did,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1296287361186308097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris faced a tough challenge: Her speech came after a forceful, scathing and unprecedented indictment of President Donald Trump by his predecessor, former President Barack Obama. And, Harris was speaking from a largely empty hall, set up to look like a regular convention arena but attended by just a handful of reporters after the Democratic Party scrapped its original convention plans in favor of a COVID-19 safe virtual gathering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, spoke emotionally about the women whose “shoulders she stands on” — including the suffragists who succeeded 100 years ago this week in securing women’s right to vote. But her strongest moments came when she talked about her own mother — Shyamala Gopalan, and what she taught Harris and her sister, Maya, about family, community and “the values that would chart the course of our lives.” [aside postID=\"news_11833616\" label=\"More Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even as she taught us to keep our family at the center of our world, she also pushed us to see a world beyond ourselves,” Harris said. “She taught us to be conscious and compassionate about the struggles of all people. To believe public service is a noble cause and the fight for justice is a shared responsibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said those lessons led her to her career path: as a lawyer, a district attorney, an attorney general and a U.S. Senator. While she didn’t attack Trump as forcefully as she has at times, Harris was blunt when assessing his record, at one point leaving this line hanging: “I know a predator when I see one.”Donald Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods,” she said later. “We’re at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It’s a lot. And here’s the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris spoke from Delaware, the home state of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, on the third night of this year’s virtual Democratic National Convention. Her remarks capped an evening that also included remarks from Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Harris’ keynote, Democrats highlighted a number of key issues — climate change, gun violence, immigration and domestic violence — featuring activists from around the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In speeches by female leaders, including Pelosi and Clinton, Harris’ record was repeatedly invoked as counterpoint to Trump’s. [aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need leaders equal to this moment of sacrifice and service — we need Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Clinton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton’s speech nodded to both Harris’ history as a prosecutor and her mixed race family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tonight I am thinking of the girls and boys who see themselves in America’s future because of Kamala Harris—a Black woman, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, and our nominee for Vice President of the United States,” Clinton said. “This is our country’s story: breaking down barriers and expanding the circle of possibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She implored young people not to “give up on America,” saying Biden picked the right partner in Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala is relentless in the pursuit of justice, and uncommonly kind. When her press secretary Tyrone Gayle, a remarkable young man who had also worked on my campaign, was dying of cancer, she dropped everything to be with him in his final moments.

And it felt really hopeless,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza likely would have spent the rest of his life in prison. But in 2013, state lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB260\">a bill\u003c/a> allowing parole hearings for inmates like him, who committed their crimes as juveniles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jessica Levinson, Loyola Law School\"]‘What’s gonna hurt Gov.

Gavin Newsom has moved to release thousands of state prisoners early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s decision is being criticized by criminal justice hardliners as as a threat to public safety even as advocates for prisoners say it doesn’t go far enough.

Gavin Newsom announced that on Tuesday the state had recorded more than 12,000 new coronavirus cases — its largest daily total yet. California now has the largest number of COVID-19 cases in the nation, surpassing New York, and California’s rates of hospitalization and death due to the respiratory illness have also soared in recent weeks.

Democrats on Capitol Hill are pushing for a $3 trillion relief package passed in the House of Representatives in May that would include aid to states like California facing massive budget deficits.

In 2018, the House district in which the campus resides was caught up in the Blue Wave — sending freshman Democrat Gil Cisneros to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We got our butts kicked, to be honest,” Schulz said, the club’s spokesman and former president. “To work on that, we were doing a lot more campaigning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the club’s plans for hosting campus events, canvassing the district and registering voters came to a screeching halt in mid-March, when Cal Poly Pomona — like schools around the state — shifted to virtual learning in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The school’s College Republicans didn’t meet for the rest of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the pandemic is threatening to scatter students away from campuses in the fall, when California will mail a ballot to every registered voter as a COVID-19-safe alternative to voting in person. The closures could discourage the efforts of campus groups, and make the prospects of turning out the college vote, already a difficult proposition in normal times, even more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be pretty bad, to be honest,” Schulz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decline in turnout could have a significant impact in the Pomona Valley and nearby northern Orange County, an area home to a large college population, where a decline in the student vote could affect competitive races up and down the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Becker, Center for Election Innovation and Research\"]‘As we (question) whether college campuses are going to open up in the fall, the ability to do outreach to large numbers of people is going to be severely limited.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for democratic engagement on college campuses are urging higher education leaders and faculty to take creative approaches to encourage voting, while students are adapting their get-out-the-vote methods for the Zoom age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As difficult as it is for someone like me to vote during a pandemic, the college student population is a particularly difficult one,” said Adam Gismondi, director of impact at the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education at the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because most students are mobile, they often move addresses while they’re in college. So it’s a really tangled web right now to work through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, California set a record for turnout in a primary election, fueling hopes of another surge in participation this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came the virus, and closures that dashed plans for voter registration efforts at university student centers, shopping malls and front doors across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Voter Registration Challenges\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>New voter registrations across the country plummeted in the spring, according to data compiled by the \u003ca href=\"https://electioninnovation.org/new-voter-registrations-in-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Election Innovation and Research, \u003c/a>in Washington. Registrations in California were down sharply in April, compared to the same month in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike four years ago, California’s primary was already over by April. But the top reason for the registration drop-off was closures at the state’s DMV offices, where drivers license and state ID transactions automatically trigger a voter registration, said David Becker, the center’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early study of the DMV automatic voter registration program \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/implementing-automated-voter-registration-in-california.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn’t find wide adoption\u003c/a> by younger voters. But the pandemic could also pose challenges for a physically distanced form of sign up: online voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fundamentally a fairly passive tool, people need to know to look for it,” Becker said. “And as we have questions about whether college campuses are going to open up in the fall, the ability to do outreach to large numbers of people is going to be severely limited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if registration efforts improve, the curtailed openings of campuses in the state present a hurdle for ensuring a smooth voting experience for many undergraduates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829865\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1642px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829865\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration.jpg\" alt=\"A man walks in front of a DMV office in San Francisco on May 8, 2020.\" width=\"1642\" height=\"1045\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration.jpg 1642w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-800x509.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-1020x649.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-1536x978.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1642px) 100vw, 1642px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man walks in front of a DMV office in San Francisco on May 8, 2020. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>College students are a mobile population in general, with many moving between dorms, off-campus housing and their childhood homes.

According to the California Target Book, “precincts adjacent to college campuses that have high concentration of voters between the ages of 18 to 34 can easily award over 90% of their votes to a Democratic candidate in a typical D vs. R race, and net the Democratic candidate thousands of raw votes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Democrats at Cal State Fullerton planned to spend the year focusing on those three races, said Andrew Levy, the group’s president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, \u003ca href=\"http://news.fullerton.edu/2019fa/student-voting-rates.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voter engagement surged\u003c/a> on the Fullerton campus, with the voting rate increasing by nearly a third over the previous mid-term election.

And the hurdle of constantly shifting student addresses could be eased, in part, by the decision of \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2020/07/06/community-college-state-budget-enrollment-impact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">many incoming freshmen\u003c/a> to stay home and attend a community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We actually are seeing a huge increase in the number of students who are registering for classes for Fullerton College, for Mount SAC, for Orange Coast, so there’s a lot of students who aren’t going to be moving,” said Jodi Balma, a professor of political science at Fullerton College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it’s a very transient population as far as moving apartment to apartment to dorm to apartment to back home,” Balma said. “And so we do want to make sure that people update their registration data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Like Everything Else, Getting Out the Vote Moves Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Student organizers are hoping to convey this information to their fellow undergrads by adapting their plans to the distanced reality of the fall; with virtual phone banking and social media campaigns replacing registration tables and door-knocking trips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strategy is still the same: ask every student and create cultures of voting on campus. Students helping students vote through peer-to-peer contact has been shown to be the most effective,” said Nic Riani, a rising senior at UCLA and the board chair of the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) Students, which helps run the state’s Students Vote Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, we can’t do any of our usual in-person tactics, like waving to students as they walk to class to help them register to vote or going into classes and passing out forms,” Riani said. “But we can hop into Zoom lectures to make announcements and build a network of students that are committing to voting and then call and text those students to help them make a plan to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=about_15238 label='Take Our Survey']CALPIRG is running a summer internship program, collecting pledges to vote from more than 3,000 college students in California, Riani said.

Registrations in California were down sharply in April, compared to the same month in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike four years ago, California’s primary was already over by April. But the top reason for the registration drop-off was closures at the state’s DMV offices, where drivers license and state ID transactions automatically trigger a voter registration, said David Becker, the center’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early study of the DMV automatic voter registration program \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/implementing-automated-voter-registration-in-california.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn’t find wide adoption\u003c/a> by younger voters.
