Joint HBCU "Get out the Vote" Rally
|
Posted By: Natasha Pratt-Harris on September 27, 2008 The students of the Dubois-Diggs Sociology Society (DDSS) in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Morgan State University has been participating in an Active Voter's Movement and is asking students across the country to participate in a joint "Get out the Vote" rally during the week of September 29-October 3,2008. Students are asked and encouraged to join together on their campuses in a non-partisan rally to inspire voters to participate and to register those who have not been registered to vote for the November 4th general elections. The main goal is to inspire the youth to get involved in this historical presidential election, in their communities, on their campuses, and to become more politically aware. Voting is pertinent; therefore, we have to stress the significance of voting and being active. In addition to the rally, the Dubois-Diggs Sociology Society has planned several events in an attempt to make a difference in this year's presidential elections. On Tuesday September 23, 2008, a forum was held, "History in the Making", which informed students about each candidate, their platforms, and the history of the political parties. There will also be debate viewings on October 2, 7, and 15 for the students to view in the University Student Center at Morgan State University and a community canvassing project will take place to register and encourage residents of Baltimore City to vote. A book club discussion will begin on October 30, 2008 where students discuss one of the presidential candidate's books. The last activity to complete the Active Voter's Movement will be the community canvassing project prior to Election Day. We invite you to come out, support, and participate in our rally on Thursday October 2, 2008 from 11 am until 1pm. We are also asking you to organize a rally on your campus Address and details for MSU rally: Morgan State University In front of Soper Plaza (former library) 1700 East Cold Spring Lane Baltimore, MD 21251 For more information about the Active Voter's Movement at Morgan State University email Professor Pratt-Harris - natasha.prattharris@morgan.edu. ****The November 4th Election is less than 40 days away - please join MSU in a joint rally on your campus - Thursday October 2nd!
