Voto Latino is proud to be a member of Vote Again 2010, a group of 30 youth-serving organizations and media partners coming together to mobilize the youth vote on November 2nd. Vote Again 2010 partners include Rock the Vote, Campus Progress, Huffpost College, The Young Turks, The Media Consortium, The League of Young Voters, Change.org, and Global Grind among others.

We’re glad to be in such great company! This is our kind of work, at the intersection of pop culture and politics.

Our good friends at Headcount, a music-based civic engagement group, are also part of Vote Again 2010. (Voto Latino is actually partnering with Headcount to do voter registration at select concerts this summer.)

Check out Headcount’s below video featuring our buddies Ozomatli and the great Ben Harper, Theivery Corporation (below) and others as they talk about why it’s important to vote again in 2010.
