Tuesday, October 07, 2008
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The YWCA USA, the nation's oldest and
largest women's organization, has launched a comprehensive voter resource
website (http://www.ywcavote.org) to educate all voters, especially women and
people of color, about the upcoming election.
"We discovered there was no place online where the average person could go
to learn about the issues, register to vote or find out who's running for
national and statewide office," said Lorraine Cole, PhD, YWCA USA's CEO. "We
created this website as a one-stop shop to provide resources voters need to
fully participate in the election."
YWCAvote.org provides detailed information on issues key to this election,
voter registration, candidate and election information, and opportunities for
people become active participants.
"The YWCA is working hard to ensure that women and people of color
understand the issues and why it is important to become engaged and vote,"
said Dr. Cole. "We want all voters to take their civic responsibility
seriously and participate in this election. This Web site is a powerful and
easy-to-use resource that will increase voter education and participation."
