As our founder and CEO Gerald Chertavian said, "Every election is important, and I have no doubt that the November 3rd election will be the most important general election of my lifetime. As we seek to be a social justice organization, we must actively work to civically engage by protesting, completing the census, and voting if we can." Check out YUvotes.org for more information about registering to vote, finding your polling location, requesting and absentee ballot, and completing the census. #yuvotes
