NEW YORK, March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today the launch of "Urban View Vote" – a nonpartisan,
midterm election year voter registration campaign designed to raise
awareness about voter registration opportunities throughout the
fifty states. SiriusXM's Urban
View channel will roll out an "Urban View Vote" vehicle to
tour multiple states – visiting college campuses, community
centers, and other key locations where citizens will get the
information necessary to have a voice and join the ranks of
America's voters. "Urban View Vote" will kick off on
March 22 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and will focus on the
African American community and addressing voter
disenfranchisement.
"This is a crucial time in our country's history to register new
voters, and Urban View listeners
will lead the way," says Karen
Hunter, Urban View host and
Programming Consultant, SiriusXM. "On Urban View, we don't
just talk about issues, we take action. Now more than ever, we want
people to know their voting rights and to empower them to take an
active role in their futures. Our hashtag - #10for2018 – reflects
our goal that every listener will inspire 10 people they know to
get registered."
The launch of the multi-state tour, currently scheduled to visit
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, and Pennsylvania,
will be accompanied by the debut of a voter registration
information website – www.urbanviewvote.com – focused on bringing
clarity to the state-by-state voter registration process.
On April 12, Urban View hosts Karen
Hunter, Joe Madison, "The
Black Eagle," and Sway Calloway from Eminem's exclusive SiriusXM
channel Shade 45, will participate in a town hall conversation with
the students of Morehouse College, an
iconic historically black college, where voting rights and voter
registration among millennials will be the focus. Calloway
will also broadcast his popular morning show from the campus.
