Promote Texas Voting! The second annual high school video contest to encourage voting is planned for early spring, with winners announced around July 4th.
Engaging Young Voters
One theme this year will be involving younger voters, whether high school, college, or adults ages 18 - 35, in an 
effort to imbue in them the passion LWV members have for all that democracy brings—civic life, politics, dialog, voting, having a voice, and making a difference. There is evidence that encouraging life-long civic participation from young people can create long-term change.
January 25 members register voters on TJC campus and field questions on voting from young voters. The next campus voter registration campaign is set for January 25--Rogers Center, 2nd floor. Contact Shirley Hightower eshightower@sbcglobal.net
Watch This Spot! Voter registration on other campuses and in area high schools will follow, and you can be a part of it. When you volunteer for the Engaging Young Voters project, you are investing in our future.
