It’s expected that 100,000 people will attend the fourth annual Asian Heritage Street Fair in San Francisco. As part of the Vote for Change nationwide voter registration drive, a group of grassroots volunteers from Asian Americans for Obama and South Asians for Obama have raised money to host an Obama booth to register voters, pass out Obama stickers, and share information about Barack.
The effort is being led by an extraordinary Obama supporter named Angelica. As part of the kick off for Vote for Change last Saturday, Angelica led a group of 124 volunteers in registering 273 voters, not to mention the countless other registration forms that volunteers handed out. The motivation for her dedication for Barack is simple.
After eight years of failed policies, I’m hungry for a leader that I can be proud to call my president. I could not be more certain that Barack Obama is that leader, a responsible steward for the future of my niece and nephews—and my own children one day. And I look forward to telling them and whoever else will listen that I—a woman of color, a daughter of Filipino immigrants, a young and hopeful civil rights lawyer—helped turn the pages of history to make an Obama presidency happen now.
If you’ll be around the San Francisco Bay Area tomorrow, you can join Angelica and help register voters. And no matter where you are, you can find a voter registration event near you.
