PRESS RELEASE
Ethiopians for Obama
Volunteers affiliated with Ethiopians for Obama have amassed a vast database of Ethiopian residents in the great state of Pennsylvania. Ethiopians for Obama will start phone-banking, where volunteers from multiple states will call Ethiopian voters in Pennsylvania to ensure that the Ethiopian community registers to vote in the Democratic Primary before the March 24th deadline.
Voters who register after the 24th of March are not eligible to vote in the Democratic Primary. Moreover, voters who are not registered as Democrats are not eligible to participate in the Democratic Primary, so it is vital the Ethiopian community register as Democrats before March 24th.
The Pennsylvania Primary will be held on April 22nd, there is a large and tight-knit Ethiopian community in Philadelphia and dispersed in other cities in Pennsylvania. With a large turnout, the Ethiopian electorate can have a huge impact on the outcome of the Pennsylvania Primary. Every vote counts, Ethiopians for Obama will make phone calls to the Ethiopian community in Pennsylvania to make sure that we make our votes count.
We at Ethiopians for Obama are always looking for volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering or being more involved in the politics of our nation — being a part of the change we want — please email [email protected]
