Actress Jurnee Smollet is on a quest to get people to vote this year. She has been traveling from state to state speaking to youth about the importance of getting registered to vote. It is especially important in this historic election year because presidential candidate Barack Obama could potentially become the first black man to be president of the United States. Smollet has done many things to give back to others. She is the youngest board member of Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA), a nonprofit organization working in the U.S and South Africa to combat HIV/AIDS, advance human rights and equality, safeguard voting rights, and assist to educate and empower children orphaned by AIDS as well as other at-risk youth. Follow her on the campaign trail and get close-ups of her travels around the country encouraging people – in small cities and big towns – to let their voices be heard in the ’08 elections.
