--
Juneteenth is coming up. Here's one way to celebrate it:
Join a GottaVote weekend of action event around Gary, and get your community ready to exercise their voices in this election.
We'll be hitting the streets from coast to coast, getting people registered and asking them to come volunteer with us over the next few critical months. African Americans for Obama -- the group that's fighting for the issues that matter most to us in this election -- will be out there, helping to make it happen.
Can you take part? Here's all the info you'll need to catch up with other local volunteers and pitch in:
What: GottaVote weekend of action in Gary
Where: 4389 West 5th Avenue Gary, IN 46406
When: Saturday, June 16th 11:00 am
There are some other events in your area, too -- be sure to check them all out.
When you show up and get trained this weekend, you won't just be asking some people to fill out voter registration forms or sign up to make some phone calls to undecided voters. You'll be helping people step up to protect the incredible progress we've made over the past three years, and to finish what we started.
President Obama's been working hard to create an economy that's built to last and works for everyone. That means lowering taxes for 18.5 million African Americans through the payroll tax cut, investing $X.55 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority-serving institutions, and doubling funding for Pell Grants. He also passed health care reform, which will help 41 million African Americans live healthier lives and will bar insurance companies from denying anyone coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
It's through our votes -- and our organizing between now and Election Day -- that we'll make sure President Obama and all of us get a chance to take the progress we've made even further.
Come out to the GottaVote weekend of action, and make sure every voice in our community is heard in November:
