“The innovative work American Eagle is doing through their continued partnership with Rock the Vote plays a pivotal role in ensuring that youth across the nation engage in our electoral process not only in the upcoming consequential midterm elections, but long into the future,” said Carolyn DeWitt, Rock the Vote President and Executive Director. “American Eagle’s constant commitment to the youth vote and to making sure America’s youth understand the history and importance of voting is fundamental and inspiring.”
