Title: JOIN MATTHEW POPKIN'S CAMPAIGN FOR CITY COUNCIL

Full body text: 
Get campaign experience, volunteer hours, and even academic credit working
for Matthew Popkin¹s campaign for a seat on the City Council of College
Park.

A graduate student in public policy and former UMD undergrad himself,
Matthew Popkin is putting together a team of students to run his campaign
in preparation for the City Council elections on November 5, 2013.

Matthew¹s vision will be to focus on making College Park more than just a
³livable community.² For example, why don¹t we have a grocery store within
walking distance? How can we make the surrounding area around the campus
safer for everyone? These kinds of issues, while pertinent to students,
fall outside the scope of the University¹s reach. It¹s up to the City
Council to enact changes in the surrounding College Park community, and
that¹s why Matthew is running.

The entire campaign will be over by November 5, 2013. In just two months,
you could gain experience on a campaign that is local, accessible, and
directly important to College Park students.

Interested students could:

Work on policy initiatives
Develop and edit press releases
Work on the communications team
Help with outreach and voter registration efforts
Manage social media efforts and the campaign website
Hours are extremely flexible and depend on your responsibilities in the
campaign effort. Working for Matthew¹s campaign may also count towards
academic credit as a fall fellowship (departmental permission required).

If you¹re interested in volunteering for this extremely valuable and
unique opportunity, contact Sam Rivers as soon as possible at
