A Hispanic-American Family Festival and Voter Education and Registration Drive will take place this Saturday:
HISPANIC BUSINESS LEADERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, SPANISH MEDIA AND YA ES HORA TENNESSEE! (Now's the Time Tennessee!) SUPPORTERS AND VOLUNTEERS JOIN IN A COMMUNITY EFFORT TO REGISTER AND EDUCATE VOTERS
Eligible U.S. Citizens to Register to Vote and Learn How to Use Voting Machine
What: Hispanic-American Family Festival - Voter Education and Registration Drive
When: Saturday, September 6th, 2008 from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Where: Coleman Community Center, 384 Thompson Lane, Nashville, TN
Why: Latino voters across the United States are expected to be a key constituency in the upcoming elections. Over nine million Latinos voted in 2004, and up to ten million are expected this year. With education and healthcare as two of the populations most pressing concerns, the Latino vote will impact the election results in November.
Ya Es Hora Tennessee! launched its voter education campaign earlier in the summer with the goal to actively educate people about the importance of voting, when and where to vote, and how the process works.
