    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NETWORK OF THE URBAN LEAGUE OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS HOSTS THIRD ANNUAL GET OUT THE VOTE COMMUNITY BBQ

    Roxbury, MA – September 3, 2015. It is election season for Massachusetts residents. There are so many important issues that need to be addressed. Whether it be violence in the community, education, the economy, or green energy, everyone needs to be heard. The Young Professionals Network of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts (YPNULEM) understands this need and will be hosting their third annual Get Out The Vote Community BBQ.

    Established in 2012, is part of the Volunteering Is Sexy® Signature Event Series. This event encourages our members, friends, supporters and the greater Boston community to register to vote and share with their friends and networks the importance of voting. Participants check their voting status and are entertained by music and food. We invite community and civic leaders, in a non-partisan conversation, to stress the importance of voting regularly in all local, state and federal elections. Street teams also canvas the local neighborhoods to provide information about the coming election and invite them to the event to register to vote.

    All are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served. This event is supported by the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts and the Guild of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts.

    Dates: September 19, 2015

    Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

    Location: 88 Warren Street, Roxbury 02119 (rear of building)
