Organizers reference past and present in mobilizing voters

Community organizers in Merced are working to register potential voters for upcoming elections — coaxing them with history lessons and giving examples of how voting can force politicians to address issues that affect them. And, perhaps most importantly, they are explaining the year’s ballot measures. “Community members have told me that they don’t understand anything on the ballot. The wording is confusing… [they] read it and they still can’t understand.” The story is on We'Ced.
