Make your voice heard on November 8th!

The right to vote is one of the most cherished rights of citizenship in the United States and the basis of our democratic form of government. As the Supreme Court stated over a century ago in Yick Wo v. Hopkins, the right to vote is "a fundamental political right, because preservative of all rights."
  
YET, THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY, too many Americans have been denied that basic right. Women and African Americans in the early part of the 20th century, African Americans in the 1960s and Latinos in the 1970s, Native Americans in the 1920s and Asian Americans following World War II all had to fight to be included in the American polity.

It is our duty to vote and ensure that everything our ancestors fought and died for is not in vain! Make your voice heard on November 8th.
