Represent Penn State is hosting the 3rd annual PA Hip Hop Political Convention this weekend 10/27-10/29 in coordination with the Pittsburgh League of Young Voters and is actively seeking attendees.
The three day conference will feature training workshops, networking events, and regional caucus meetings primarily focusing on young-voter Get Out The Vote (GOTV) training. Topics will include: non-traditional GOTV, grassroots media and communication, tech based gotv, running an effective election day program, arts based organizing and alliance building.

This year's conference features the legendary Davey D, Paradise Gray from the hip-hop group X-Clan and Progressive Majority's Malia Lazu.
All convention attendees will be provided with GOTV materials, a 9-day action plan and presented with a "GOTV organizer" certificate. All attendees from PSU can volunteer to work with Represent Penn State to help get out PSU voters on Election Day following the conference.
The conference will be held at the HUB in Heritage Hall beginning at 1:00pm Friday and continuing through Sunday afternoon with training sessions in Willard Building.
