1 | Thank you for visiting SLSV's COVID-19 Resource Tracker. We will be updating this spreadsheet with partner resources that could be helpful to our work during this time. To make this spreadsheet easier to navigate, we have split our resources by audience type: "Individuals" for general FAQs and helpful resources for voters, "Organizers" for campus and community leaders trying to assist and mobilize their community, and "Classrooms" for educaters trying to integrate civic engagement work into their online classrooms. The SLSV team is adding resources as we find them, and we hope you will add resources as your organization creates or uses them (click the link below to add a resource). If you are looking for a specific type of resource, please email Eddy Zerbe at eddy@slsvcoalition.org | |||||
