Free NYC Rock Concerts Held to Rock the APA Youth Vote 9/29, 10/1
ONE OUT OF 10 NEW YORKERS IS ASIAN AMERICAN.
BUT ONLY ONE OUT OF 10 ASIAN AMERICANS IN NEW YORK VOTES.
That's why, this year, during a presidential election that many have
called the most important in our generation, some of the biggest names
in Asian American indie rock have come together to create a concert
series called AARYV--ASIAN AMERICA: RAISE YOUR VOICE, in
partnership with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF),
the Korean American League for Civic Action (KALCA), the Asian Pacific
American Voters Alliance (APAVA) and other groups dedicated to making
sure that our votes are counted, and our issues are heard.
Tickets for the events are $10 for all audiences...$5 if you bring a
friend who registers to vote at the concert...and if you register to
vote yourself, you get in ABSOLUTELY FREE.
So listen up, Asian America! If you're over 18, a U.S. citizen, and
otherwise eligible to vote, and haven't yet registered, click on this
link (http://www.elections.state.ny.us/voting/voting.htm), download the
voter registration application, and bring it to either of AARYV 2004's
concert events. That's it. You're ready to rock.
TURN UP THE VOLUME...TURN OUT THE VOTE!
