Bow Wow Partners with Black Youth Vote!

Alright BYV! This is my first post. I will keep it short and sweet. This is Will Kellibrew, your brand new BYV! National Coordinator. Special thanks to Melanie and Lisa for bringing me on board to serve the ultimate cause - influencing our youth ages 18 - 35 to make a difference by registering to vote, protecting their vote and voting on Election Day 2008 and Beyond!

Today, Atlanta could not be more beautiful. Bow Wow is preparing for his Walk Across America to bring awareness to the importance of voting. His Walk focuses on voter registration and BYV! is right there to lend a helping hand. Our BYV! Coordinators will be assisting the efforts by mobilizing our teams in each state Bow visits and registering our youth to vote as they gear up for Election 2008.

Thanks to Bow, we are now partners in this amazing effort. You can be a part of the action by making sure that you are registered. Visit www.ncbcp.org and go to our Election Center where you will be able to register on the national federal registration form. It's time to be counted!!!

Just a little history - Bow made an announcement on CNN yesterday morning that he will be walking in a multitude of states to bring awareness to the importance of voting. BYV! will be registering young people to vote at each stop. Bow will start at the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia at approximately 12 Noon on Wednesday, 1 October, 2008 and walk until he reaches the AU Center - Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse where BYV! will be on hand to get people registered to vote. He will be making stops in Columbia, South Carolina, Philly, Richmond, Virginia, Mobile, Alabama, Nashville, Tennessee, New York and a host of other cities.

Join BYV! along the trail. Perhaps we will have a special guest blogging along the trail. You never know. Stay tuned!
