DESCRIPTION:Actress, activist and Voto Latino Co-founder Rosario Dawson will be 
 celebrated, together with two Bay Area leaders, at the Redford Center's 
 June 9  Art of Activism program. \n\nMs. Dawson will discuss the 
 motivations and strategies behind her efforts to fight for voter engagement 
 and education, to support disaster relief and refugees, and to use her 
 voice to battle poverty, violence, and AIDS. The evening's program includes 
 a moderated, action-oriented discussion between Ms. Dawson, Redford Center 
 Executive Director Lee Bycel, the audience, and selected Art of Activism 
 Honorees. \n\nThe Redford Center's Art of Activism series aims to engage, 
 provoke, and inspire activism by celebrating the work of individuals who 
 are having a significant impact in people's lives. The Center kicked off 
 the series with a sold-out event in February of this year, featuring actor 
 Robert Redford and local activists Victor Diaz and Avery Hale. \n\nIn 2004, 
 Ms. Dawson co-founded Voto Latino, a non-partisan, non-profit organization 
 aimed at increasing American Latino youth civic participation through 
 greater voter turnout and political involvement. The organization's work 
 ranges from on the ground voter registration to engaging with youth through 
 pop culture and multimedia awareness campaigns, and has been instrumental 
 in getting Latinos to register to vote since its inception. The 
 organization's latest initiative promotes Latino involvement in the 2010 US 
 Census.\n\nAmong the many organizations she has lent her support to are 
 Amnesty International, Charity: Water, Declare Yourself, Global Cool, 
 International Rescue Committee, Lower East Side Girls Club, ONE Campaign, 
 Oxfam, Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), Twenty 
 Women For Darfur, VDay, and Youth AIDS.\n
