Reclaiming Your Vote
continued
from Metro
voter registration drives through­
out the Portland Metropolitan area.
“When I was sent tojail 1 lost my
voice. Today. I’m taking a big step
in getting it back. I'm registering to
vote,"one recently released inmate
shared.
While registering to vote is im­
portant, it is only the first step. The
ultimate goal is to increase this
year's turnout at the bal lot box. The
VOICE Project thus presents its
case: Reclaim your voice, make a
commitment to be counted and be
heard. Vote!
