It’ll be hours before the results are in.  But we wanted to give you an early look at what’s happening in Virginia and Pennsylvania where your Feminist Majority campus mobilization teams are in full swing.

This morning, across 30 campuses in Virginia and Pennsylvania, students woke up and did what they’ve been preparing for all year. They rolled out of dorms, packed folding tables and homemade signs, and sprinted into the work of democracy.

Already today, they’ve been almost everywhere — at polling places, on quads, outside student unions — and if you’re wondering whether it’s working, the answer is: YES!!!

You can feel it in the pace, the turnout, the way students are showing up for each other. And it didn’t happen by accident.
In the lead-up to today:

And this is just a few of the scores of actions now under way on this Election Day thanks to the support of the Feminist Majority and friends like you.

These are students who didn’t wait for permission. They trained, organized, raised their hands, and built something real on their campuses — and today, they are the reason turnout is building early and steadily in critical precincts.

All of this is happening against a powerful national backdrop. This week’s NBC and CNN polling shows Donald Trump sliding into deep unpopularity: disapproval around 63% and falling.

More telling: while 30% of voters still identify with MAGA, a whopping 43% now describe themselves as “No Kings” voters — a rejection of authoritarianism and a powerful signal of cultural and civic momentum. This is the world these students are stepping into — and reshaping.

We’ll send full results once the numbers come in. But we didn’t want to wait to tell you this:  You helped build this.

Every dollar, every hour, every person who stood with us made today’s momentum possible. And we want to hear from you — tell us why you supported this work. We’re collecting one-liners and reflections to include in later reports. Just send a quick reply to: [email protected]

Thank you for believing in this generation. Thank you for giving them the tools. The polls are still open — and because of you, they’re showing up and bringing thousands with them.

With deep gratitude,

Ellie Smeal, President, Feminist Majority

Kathy Spillar, Executive Director
