The Feminist Majority is recruiting college and university students, as well as recent graduates, for paid internships as part of our student voter mobilization and education campaign, Vote for Equality. Our goal is to deliver a massive student vote to stop the backward trend on fundamental human rights, and move our country forward on gender equality, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ rights, climate change and civil rights.
Vote for Equality will be conducting student-led campaigns in Arizona, California, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. If you’re passionate about advocating for an equitable and just future, then WE NEED YOU to help make sure students’ voices are heard at the ballot box this November!
The 2024 election could determine the direction of our country for decades. With tight races in the House, Senate, and Presidency, every vote matters. Some races could be decided by as few as a hundred votes. This November, we will be voting as if our lives depend on it!

● work in teams on campus to encourage students to vote through Election Day;
● educate students about voting requirements in their state;

● recruit volunteers and organize leafleting drives, chalking parties, and other visibility activities; and
● mobilize students to participate in ”Get Out the Vote” events for Early Voting and Election Day!
