The Liberal Arts Voter

By Daniel Vos | December 5

Penelope Kopp remembers her high school frustration. She watched dismally as national climate policies unraveled under President-elect Donald Trump, still too young to cast her vote.Now a junior at Tufts, Kopp has made activism a core part of her life, from attending protests with her family to working on campaigns for candidates like President Joe Biden. For the 2024 election, she coordinated phone banks twice a week, speaking with North Carolina voters for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.
