GLENDALE, Calif.- California Armenians for Jerry Brown, in partnership
with the Armenian National Committee of America - Western Region
(ANCA-WR), today concluded its successful voter registration and
education drive by registering over 500 of their neighbors, friends,
and family members throughout the state.
"We have put an emphasis on registering new voters and getting out the
vote because it's absolutely important that Armenian Americans cast
their ballots for Jerry Brown. He has a proven record of supporting
issues important to our community over the course of 40 years," said
Berdj Karapetian, Chairman of California Armenians for Jerry Brown.
The voter registration drive ended on the steps of Glendale City Hall
on the deadline to register to vote. Volunteers spent the day visiting
senior centers and provided transportation to voter registration
sites at city halls throughout Los Angeles County. In recent weeks,
the group organized voter registration booths at church services,
community events, and on college campuses. California Armenians for
Jerry Brown also set out to make it easier to vote for the elderly
and disabled by encouraging families to register to vote by mail.
"The Armenian American community in California is clearly enthusiastic
about participating in the democratic process by casting their votes
this November. People were eager to register everywhere we went", said
Armine Sargsyan, a volunteer with California Armenians for Jerry Brown.
California Armenians for Jerry Brown is an unprecedented statewide
effort to get out the vote and elect Jerry Brown as the next Governor
of California. This grassroots movement has already tapped into
volunteers in the Golden State who have reached out to their neighbors
through coordinated canvassing and phone-banking to advocate on behalf
of Jerry Brown.
The ANCA-WR is the largest and most influential Armenian American
grassroots advocacy organization in the Western United States. Working
in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters
throughout the Western United States and affiliated organizations
around the country, the ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian
American community on a broad range of issues.
