Use this thread to discuss what this organization is all about. I found this in a July 3, 2008 News-sun article:
"The Waukegan Leadership Council is part of the coalition (the Get Out the Vote coalition) and has been registering mostly Latino and immigrant voters since it formed last year but plans to kick it up a notch this summer, said Jackie Herrera Giron, vice-president of the council. A coordinator will be registering voters on a full-time basis in Latino neighborhoods in Lake County, primarily in Waukegan, through funding from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights' New Americans Democracy Project."
