No vote is a vote.
Interns, Nailah Golden and Tamia Jackson were busy through the 2020 Presidential Election supporting Sankofa.org in developing social media messages to reach an important young generation of voters. More than 15 million youth are newly eligible to vote in their first presidential election in November 2020 – and these first-time voters make up almost one-third of all 18 to 29-year-olds eligible to have voted in the fall.
