DK Fans of 90 for 90
Group founded by Sara R
Voter registration and getting out the vote (GOTV) are critical to positive change in legislative bodies, from the very local level to the national level. Dr. Fergie Reid, Jr., and Brenda Hill started a movement in Virginia called 90 for 90, in honor of and inspired by Dr. Fergie Reid, Sr., who was the first black person elected to the Virginia legislature since Reconstruction, who served there for many years with distinction, and who recently turned 90 years of age. The idea is to register ninety new voters in every precinct of Virginia, over a quarter million in all. The idea has caught fire and is inspiring similar efforts in other States. This group is a place to post diaries on voter registration, GOTV, candidates, and ways to inspire greater participation in the political process everywhere.
