Rock the Vote to Distribute Free Copies of the Voting Rights Comic, Register!, at the “Power to the People” Concert
With the November 3 midterm election weeks away, Rock the Vote will distribute limited edition copies of REGISTER! #1, a comic book about voting rights, at the upcoming Power to the People concert.
The REGISTER! series takes readers through the American constitutional amendments that expanded the right to vote. In issue #1, readers learn about the passage of the 26th amendment and the history of the “Old Enough to Fight, Old Enough to Vote” movement. It blends history with contemporary narratives and includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the book was made.
Published by Good Trouble Comics, it was written by Andrew Aydin and illustrated by Valentine De Landro with lettering by Clayton Cowles and coloring by Marissa Louise.
The comic was first produced for the New York City Department of Education and it is available to a wider audience as voting rights faces serious pressure across the country.
Changing registration rules, shifting deadlines, and ongoing legal and legislative fights over who can vote, and how, make it more important than ever that voters, especially young people, know their rights and check their registration status before it’s too late.
