»Southwest Voter Registration Education Project

At an awards ceremony during the Democratic National Convention, we recognized several organizations for their non-partisan efforts to increase voter participation.

DHP_SW_Voters.jpgSouthwest Voter Registration Education Project (SVREP) is celebrating 30 years of voter registration and advocacy on behalf of the Latino community. In the photograph here, SVREP President Antonio Gonzalez (2nd person from right) celebrates with other SVREP staff and GCI friends.

This year, SVREP is engaged in three major registration projects, including the 10-4 Campaign, a partnership with the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA), and the Hispanic Federation. The Campaign for Communities is a collaboration which includes the Earth Day Network, the NAACP National Voter Fund and others in order to mobilize a million new minority and youth voters in competitive states.
