In a time of widespread political uncertainty and apathy toward government, participating in elections has never been more crucial. With the general election just a month away, Feed the Vote invites you to 18 Reasons to get registered to vote, pledge to turnout in November, and engage in a thoughtful dialogue about barriers to political participation for communities of color in San Francisco. Over a delicious Asian meal cooked by one of 18 Reasons' beloved chefs and instructors, Linda Tay Esposito, we will discuss how we can foster a culture of active voter participation.
 
We encourage you to bring classmates and family members of all ages to create an intergenerational conversation!

Feed the Vote is a nonpartisan grassroots project that aims to increase voter turnout in communities of color, with a special focus on Asian American and Pacific Islander youth ages 18-24. We host voter registration and education opportunities at popular food events and hubs because we believe that food not only has the power to bring people together but also to inspire a more engaged electorate.  Follow them @feedthevote.
