NLIHC is excited to welcome Hillary Poudeu Tchokothe as our first-ever Our Homes, Our Votes intern! Hillary is a rising junior at the University of Michigan, where she studies political science and history and is currently co-president of Turn Up Turnout, which works to increase voter turnout by addressing knowledge gaps about the voting process among college students. Hillary is passionate about ensuring that all people have the resources they need to be civically engaged, especially members of groups with historically low voter turnout rates. During her time at NLIHC, Hillary will help ensure that the lowest-income renters are able to navigate barriers to voting and become more civically engaged.
