Sorority Engages in the Significant Voting Progress

AKA to Spearhead National Voter Registration Drive
Historic election sparks novel get-out-the vote initiatives

Washington, D.C. - As part of its mission to ensure that citizens register to vote, Alpha Kappa Alpha will mount a national two-pronged blitz.


Sparked by the reality that much is at stake in this election, the initiatives are aimed at getting out the vote and making certain that citizens vote on Election Day, November 4.


Alpha Kappa Alpha will launch a “voter registration blitz” from September 6 through October 4, spearheaded by the Sorority’s Connection Committee. To ensure the campaign’s success, AKA will partner with churches, the NAACP, other Greek organizations and other social action groups.


The second component of the crusade is the “Take Five” program. In this initiative, members are being urged to “Take Five” registered voters to the polls. With members Energized, Stimulated and Passionately committed to these programs, voter turnout should be high and everyone should be empowered knowing that their votes will count.
