Poder Latinx Honors National Voter Registration Day During Latinx Heritage Month
NATIONWIDE- Poder Latinx is proud to be partnering with thousands of organizations nationwide on National Voter Registration Day, which seeks to increase civic participation by encouraging Americans to register to vote and then turn out to vote in record numbers this year.
Last year, Poder Latinx worked tirelessly to register Latinx individuals in their three key states of Arizona, Georgia, and Florida to vote, resulting in 40,000 new voters registered. This year, Poder Latinx launched their voter registration campaign on July 19 with an ambitious goal of registering over 50,000 new Latinx voters across Arizona, Georgia, and Florida leading up to the 2022 midterm elections. With more than 400 laws being proposed in states across the country that are aiming to make it harder to vote and new redistricting maps splitting the strength of the Latinx voice, it is more important than ever to register Latinx voters.
Supporters can follow National Voter Registration Day activities through social media on September 28 by searching #NationalVoterRegistrationDay and #VoteReady or by joining Poder Latinx at one of the events happening that day.
