MADISON- On Friday, September 14th at 6:45 pm DNC Convention speaker Kal Penn will speak with students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
With just over 50 days until November 6th, students are organizing on campuses across Wisconsin, building a strong grassroots organization to speak with voters one-on-one about the important choice they face in this election and communicating President Obama’s policies to make college affordable for middle-class families.
