LIHerald.com highlighted the work of Girls Write Now’s Student Ambassadors as they worked on voter registration projects in celebration of National Voter Registration Day. The article showcased the efforts of Elmont High senior Amira Elrington-Edwards, who hosted a voter registration drive at her Homecoming football game.
Elrington-Edwards’s booth is one of four New York student initiatives that look to mobilize voters this year being hosted with Girls Write Now, a nonprofit that mentors young writers and leaders. In New York City, Ashanti Benons, 22, hosted a voter registration drive at Brooklyn College on Sept. 17; Chloe Lee, 17, is running a social media campaign through the Oct. 26 registration deadline; and Zuzanna Wasiluk, 20, is gathering data on local voting habits to create a virtual essay and data visualization.
