  • National Voter Registration Day 2023: Your Voice, Your Vote

    Tuesday, November 19th is National Voter Registration Day. This year several non-profit groups and community service organizations came together to create a Public Service Announcement to help spread the word.

    I asked two influential community leaders to join me to share their stories about gaining and regaining the right to vote and why we should all register and vote. Their stories are inspiring and they've made their voice matter

    Be sure to catch the PSA video on OnWatch TV via your Roku or Amazon FireTV Stick or on VIDAA TV.
