Engaging the Emerging Majority web conference

This Emerging Majority – Latinos, African-Americans, American Indians, Asian-American/Pacific Islanders, unmarried women – has the potential to reshape our country. But even as their population grows, Emerging Majority citizens lag far behind the general public in voter registration rates. Each year, communities with the most at stake go into Election Day at a tremendous deficit before a single vote is cast.

We're unveiling a new research report, Engaging the Emerging Majority: The Case for Voter Registration in 2012 and Beyond. The report analyzes Census data and assesses the actions needed to bring the numbers in line for 2012 and beyond.

Join us for a web conference to learn more about how you can shift the electorate to create a fully representative democracy.

38 million citizens in the Emerging Majority are not registered to vote. We'll need to register at least 9.8 million of those voters just to ensure the voting rolls represent the population when polls open in 2012. The Emerging Majority has the potential to create a truly representative democracy. But without significant, consistent investment in voter registration, we'll never reach that goal.

There are many social, economic, and political challenges that will take our lifetime to win. But correcting the inequality in voter registration rates is winnable. The Emerging Majority can move our country forward in a profound way. We know what we need to do. We know how to do it. We only lack the resources and commitment to make it happen. Will you commit to creating a representative democracy?
