Sacramento ACT leaders partnered with Brother to Brother to support their voter registration drive over the weekend and to canvas the Del Paso Heights area. Over 15 leaders canvassed to let residents know of the changes in our election systems and make them aware of the Sheriff and District Attorney races. The day was full of excitement as residents showed up to register vote in numbers and enjoyed a delicious barbecue meal.

Canvassers prepare last Saturday to talk with residents about the importance of voting!
