Students for Newsom taking action

From Riverside Community College to San Francisco State University, students around the state are hitting the ground to register thousands of young voters and sign students up to join our grassroots movement.

Serving as the Field Director of Students for Gavin Newsom, I’ve been working hard to mobilize and engage students who want to change California. These past few weeks have been very exciting for SFGN. We joined Mayor Newsom and UC/CSU Student Body Presidents on a conference call about higher education – a conversation that inspired Jesse Bernal, the University of California Student Regent, to formally endorse Gavin Newsom for governor!

We’ve also greatly expanded our efforts at California community college campuses – students are now tabling at Santa Rosa Junior College, Irvine Valley College, Riverside Community College, Cypress College, LA City College, Crafton Hills College in Redlands and more.

This week we reached another exciting milestone, over 5,000 Students for Newsom supporters on Facebook! If you haven’t joined us yet check out SFGN’s Facebook page, and invite your friends!

In the next few weeks we will be going to classrooms, student club meetings, campus club fairs, hosting phone banks, and continuing to build the largest student grassroots movement in California!
