This Friday, August 3rd, GOSO will host a Voter Registration Drive, in partnership with Just Leadership USA, The Legal Aid Society, The Osborne Association and our own SAVE Cure Violence team.
Voting is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard. Be sure you’re registered.
WHEN: Friday, August 3rd, from 10AM to 4PM
WHERE: GOSO offices, 75 East 116th Street, at the corner of Madison Avenue
** NEW ** As of April 2018, New Yorkers on parole have the right to vote. Come to the drive, learn more, confirm you’re a registered voter.
Before the drive, we asked GOSO Guys, staff and friends to tell us why exercising their right to vote is so important. Here’s what they had to say!
