The PA primary is in 4 days y'all!! (April 22)
Black Youth Vote had a debate watch party on Wed. april 16, in Pittsbugh and in Philly, and the turn out was off the chain. More folks that we expected showed up, to watch the debates and throw in their own 2 cents/sense on the issues and the election.
BYV is also passing out literature throughout the week, in the form of bookmarks, providing the 5 Things You Need to Know Before Election Day to Protect Your Vote:
1. TAKE YOUR PHOTO ID WITH YOU. First time voters and voters voing in an election district for the first time mush show ID in Pennsylvania. If you moved and are voting for the first time at a new poll location, you MUST present your ID.
2. VERIFY your registration status Before election day--make sure you are listed on the registration rolls with you local board of elections office.
3. VERIFY your poll location Before election day. Call 1-866-MYVOTE-1 to find out.
4. YOU HAVE A RIGHT to request help from poll workers. If you are at the wrong polling place, ask an election official for your correct polling place.
5. DON'T LEAVE YOUR POLLING PLACE WITHOUT VOTING! If you need legal assistance call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
Black youth in PA will most definitely be showin up to the polls, and vote HARD, and you know this, mannn!!
