Welcome to YoungHollywood. com.
For Young Hollywood, I'm Rosario Dawson representing Voto Latino. We're celebrating three years strong. We started in 2003 and we got almost 100,000 people registered to vote. Latinos became the largest minority in this country. It's all about, you know, as a community again reaching out and going, we need to reach young people. This election that's coming up is the most important election probably in the past 40 years. The people in office right now are not our bosses. They work for us. I mean, you voted for American Idol. You can vote in the presidential election. This is something that our children's children's children will be looking back in their history books about.
Hi, what's up? I'm Wilmer Valderrama. I was part of the first campaign where I really believed in what they had to what they had to say and really waking up the Latin community. Just as part of the engine of this country than anybody else. Hollywood has been proving to be the best platform and the best outlet for raising awareness. That's the most important part of our job, you know, to influence people and hopefully inspire people. I really hope that whatever decision we all as a community make will really influence, you know, the day of tomorrow. Every community is going to unite as why. Hopefully, this is the the rise again of the United States.
You have a drink named after you tonight, the Valderma. See that? Check it out. Valderma. You got to try the drink, right?
No, I don't drink. No one drinks in LA. I don't drink. It's bad for you. Stay in school. Get out there, register, educate, and vote.
