CarpoolVote.com and other Updates

CarpoolVote.com

With the New Jersey and Virginia primaries around the corner, bringing underserved people to the polls is akin to helping them have a voice in the democratic process. Helping them through Carpooling is a very important act.

CarpoolVote.com has partnered with the NAACP, Rock the Vote, and other amazing organizations to build a carpooling movement and help folks get to the polls. The project has 3000 volunteer drivers. They need coders & UX designers to make the site better and remove bugs as we enter the primaries, and then the generals in November.

Join the Carpool Action channel or reach out to Sasjkia (CarpoolVote.com USA) for more details.
