The Pirates to the Polls March is a Freedom of Speech event that has been created by the College Democrats, the College Republicans, and the NAACP. Our goal for this event is to encourage students, staff, and faculty to come together and march through campus to promote civic engagement by participating in the early voting period. Even if individuals have already voted, we still encourage and welcome you to come out and support your fellow pirates. In addition to promoting civic engagement, we hope to create unity on our campus by bringing students from all backgrounds and experiences together. The march will occur on November 2nd at 2 pm on College Hill. From there, we will walk down the hill, across 10th st, and through central campus until we reach the Main Campus Student Center where participants will be able to vote.

Even if you’ve already voted, we would still love to see people come out!

We’ll start on top of College Hill, walk down 10th street, between SciTech and Bate, toward the Cupola, and down to the MCSC commons where individuals can vote. As we are marching, members will be guided, and the directions will be given by those holding our banner.
