Ninjas Urge Students to Vote, Cover Key Issues

Posted by Eugenia Beh

Ninjas getting out the vote! Gotta love it. This not-so-covert operation was coordinated by Sean Cuevo, co-president of the Filipino American Student Association at the University of Georgia and was carried out by members of various Asian-oriented organizations to promote an upcoming seminar, “Don’t Vote - You Don’t Matter.” Read more at The Red and the Black! (H/T again to Angry Asian Man, who has a great post about the article.)
