                           National Voter Registration Day

In 2008, 6 million Americans didn’t vote because they missed a registration deadlineor didn’t know how to register. In 2012, we want to make sure no one is left out.On September 25, 2012, volunteers, celebrities, and organizations from all over the country will “hit the streets” for National Voter Registration Day. This single day of coordinated field, technology and media efforts will create pervasive awareness of voter registration opportunities–allowing us to reach tens of thousands of voters or more who we could not reach otherwise.Transformative Change and MindfulVOTES will be in Berkeley and San Francisco registering voters. Will you join us? If you’re not in the Bay Area, FIND AN EVENT NEAR YOU!

L.O.V.E. Let One Voice Emerge

L.O.V.E. – Let One Voice Emerge

“L.O.V.E – Let One Voice Emerge” is a non-partisan campaign to reach out to the largest group of non-voters in America — nearly 20 million unmarried women — and to support the important work of The Voter Participation Center and their partners. The Voter Participation Center’s mission on behalf of the Rising American Electorate (unmarried women, persons of color and young people) is to register and encourage these groups to the polls.

L.O.V.E. is performed by hit artists Fergie, Keke Palmer, Patti Austin, Siedah Garrett, Sheila E, Brenda Russell, Judith Hill, Lalah Hathaway, and Jenna Ushkowitz.
