Bow Wow Steps Up and OUT for Voting Campaign!!

Bow Wow steps out on voter campaign.

Rapper Bow Wow is taking the lead, and he’s hoping that the millions of Americans will follow. On Wednesday, he will start his Walk Across America in an effort to encourage people, particularly young people, to get to the polls on Election Day. The Walk Across America will begin in Atlanta and continue through numerous other cities, including Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and New York City, stopping at colleges, universities and radio stations. Bow Wow is working with Declare Yourself and Black Youth Vote, two non-partisan organizations that will be assisting with the registration efforts at each stop and helping to reinforce the importance of youth voter participation. Students and elected officials from both major parties will also be invited to take part in the efforts in each city. “It’s important for the youth to participate because we’re tomorrow’s leaders. We need to make sure that our voices are heard and have a say in the decisions that will affect our lives and our country for years to come,” says Bow Wow, 21. In addition to Walk Across America, Bow Wow is currently wrapping up work on his sixth album, New Jack City, Pt. II, which will hit stores in December. And on Christmas Day, his latest film, Hurricane Season, in which he co-stars alongside Forest Whitaker, will debut in movie theaters. This television season, Bow Wow can also be seen on HBO’s popular series, Entourage, in the recurring role of Charlie, a stand-up comedian.
