LGBT People and Voting
Despite the substantial advances for human rights that have been made recently by LGBT people in the United States, we continue to face discrimination and marginalization in many areas of life. Now more than ever we need to step up and engage! We need to vote!
Promote the Vote, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center’s voter registration, education, and mobilization project needs your help to register 2,000 voters in New York City. Contact Ricardo Martinez, the Center’s Public Policy Associate at 212-620-7310 or at rmartinez@gaycenter.org to volunteer.
Register to vote today! Visit www.gaycenter.org/registertovote and register. Remember your form must be postmarked and mailed no later than October 10th.
