YALLA VOTE ‘08 Our Voice. Our Future.

You might have read our recent post about the Yalla Vote training in Michigan that kicked off the month of May with a weekend of voter engagement training for Yalla Vote endorsers and activists.

If you would like another glimpse of this training from a slightly different perspective, take a look at the Wellstone Action website’s write-up of this information packed few days.

The feedback we’ve received from participants is overwhelmingly enthusiastic. The only complaint?

Not long enough!

While space in these training sessions is extremely limited and open only to endorsing organizations and activists, we hope you will benefit from these sessions, even if you cannot attend. Those who attend the training are charged with returning to their communities and, in their own turn, teaching what they have learned to the greater Arab American family back home.

With your help, we can change the course of American politics and make our thoughts, our needs, our hopes, our fears–and our wisdom– a vibrant part of the national dialogue. Don’t forget to sign the petition, register to vote, and help others do the same.
