Noted Actors Speak Out for Election Protection

Summary


"Four years ago, more than four million voters nationwide were disenfranchised-deprived of their right to vote. Many of those voters were African-Americans," said Ralph G. Neas, PFAWF president. "Nobody wants to see a repeat of the 2000 elections. These artists have been tremendously generous with their time and talents, helping us reach out to voters with a message of strength and empowerment."

"Artists for a New South Africa believes passionately that voting is the most essential human right and the cornerstone of every democracy," said Sharon Gelman, ANSA's executive director. "Our organization was founded in 1989 to ensure that every South African could cast a ballot. We will not stand back and watch as Americans are denied that right. We are committed to supporting Election Protection efforts to educate communities about the voting process and defend citizens whose voting rights are threatened."
