In a joint effort to educate the Hip-Hop generation about the importance of voting and the critical role they will play in election 2004, Luke “Uncle Luke” Campbell and State Representative James “Hank” Harper, Jr., will launch “Election 2004: The Movement Tour” on March 27 at Florida Memorial College in Miami.

The Tour’s mission is to register 40,000 new voters in Florida within the Hip-Hop generation by
July 2004, beginning at Florida Memorial College and making stops at four historically black colleges and other major universities in Florida. The meetings will feature demonstrations of the county’s new voting machines and the distribution of voter education materials prepared by election officials and nonpartisan organizations.

Voters will be provided with information on what to expect at the polls, new voting procedures, the impact of legislative redistricting on the location of polling places, voter’s bill of rights, and the election protection hotline. There will also be poll worker recruitment.

“It is imperative that we organize and reach the voters of the Hip-Hop generation in the summer months not just on Election Day,” said Luke “Uncle Luke” Campbell. “We want this tour to carry a strong message to the Hip-Hop generation about the importance of becoming actively involved in the political process.”

“Together we strive to accomplish the goal of registering at least 40,000 new voters for election 2004 because it is incumbent upon black lawmakers, community leaders, business leaders, civil rights and religious leaders, and other public figures to take steps now to guarantee our constituencies are registered and have access to the polls on August 31, 2004,” said Rep. James “Hank” Harper, Jr. “We must ensure that the Hip-Hop generation’s votes will be counted on election day.”
