YALLA VOTE ‘08 Our Voice. Our Future.

*Our Yalla Vote Field Organizers are hitting the ground running. For information about these amazing young men and women, and how to contact them, please visit the Field Organizers page here at Yalla Vote. Here are some words from Nadia, our Field Organizer in Ohio:

I recently got back from training in Washington, D.C. and am now back in the field beginning to organize. I had an amazing time in D.C. getting to know the rest of the AAI staff and learning practically everything possible about field organizing. But now it’s time to hit the ground running.

I am so glad to be given the opportunity to work in the Yalla Vote campaign considering the extreme importance of this year’s election. Arab-Americans, although a minority, can still have a tremendous impact on the outcome of the election, both through voting and through participation in the coordinated campaigns of each party. I hope that throughout my time working as a field organizer here in Cleveland I can encourage more Arab Americans, young and old, to become involved in the political process so that as a community are voices can be heard loud and clear and so that the issues important to us are addressed.

-Nadia
