Get Out the Vote - Strengthening our Community's Voice
At Korean Community Services (KCS), we believe that every vote matters and every voice counts. With the support of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders New Jersey (AAPI New Jersey), we are proud to launch the Get Out the Vote initiative in Bergen County, New Jersey - marking our first year bringing this effort to the local community.
This initiative is more than just a campaign - it's a long term commitment to building a stronger, more engaged community. By encouraging voter participation, we work to ensure that the diverse voices in our neighborhoods are heard, valued, and represented in our democracy. Civic engagement is not only a right - it's a shared responsibility that shapes the future we all share.
