In Washington, only a small percentage of people of color turn out to vote, despite the fact that minority groups are growing at a far greater rate than the white population. These videos are meant to inspire and educate members of historically disenfranchised communities about the importance of voting. One video focuses on persons of color, immigrant communities, and members of religious backgrounds that have been historically disenfranchised. The other video is intended to educate people with felony records about their voting rights and how to have them reinstated.
