Where do you stand on the 2020 elections?
October 20, 2020
With mail-in and early voting under way in many places, we want to hear from the Holy Cross community. Where do you stand on the 2020 elections? It's time to get on your soapbox, and let us know (in a succinct and civil way) about the issue most important to you and how you would like to see it addressed in the next presidential term. Come to speak or come just to listen, but know that all opinions will be welcome, and only threats, personal attacks and hate speech will be banned. Our goal is to engage real conversation on the difficult and divisive topics that underlie this election season.
