LI Herald featured student Arianna Chetram in "North Shore advocates work to get voters to show up on Election Day"
Chetram said she’s been in connection with Pace University, which she attends, and the Oyster Bay High School Student Council to get students to register to vote and show up on Election Day.
“It does not matter what party you resister for,” Chetram said. “Because without your power, you basically do not have a power here. That power means so much in this country. You have a say in something. You should be able to use that say. You have a voice.”
Back in August, Chetram said, she was on a Zoom conference with voting organization When We All Vote, which was founded by Michelle Obama, to discuss ways to encourage communities to vote.
“I took their advice,” Chetram said. “I had a list of things I can do. I took that list and basically I have been pulling out a voting table at every protest I was invited to and every event. I had a bunch of forms and I encouraged people by telling them how important their vote is.”
