The chapter will be collaborating with the RUC Votes Coalition (RUCVC), a Rutgers-Camden’s student-led, non-partisan organization focused on increasing student, faculty, and staff voter engagement and voter education. Working with our campus partners like NJPIRG and Student Government Association and local partners like the League of Women Voters, RUCVC looks to institutionalize a culture of civic engagement throughout the campus for this semester and beyond.

Donuts for Democracy is an event that serves as another opportunity for students to hear about the Howard Chapter's Fall 2024 events.

In its most recent term, the US Supreme Court decided yet another major second amendment case, US v. Rahimi, which held that an individual may be disarmed under a domestic violence restraining order, consistent with the second amendment. This case followed other major second amendment cases, DC v. Heller (2008), McDonald v. Chicago (2010) and NY State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen (2022). Constitutional scholar, best-selling author and nationally recognized second amendment expert Professor Adam Winkler will discuss the Court's reasoning and what it means for gun regulation efforts.
