Patty Griffin "Use Your Voice" Tour

The League of Women Voters of the Rivertowns will be teaming up with recording artist Patty Griffin and touring mates Sara Watkins and Anais Mitchell to empower voters at an upcoming concert to be held at the Tarrytown Music Hall on March 12. The event is part of a 39-city tour.

At the concert, local League of Women Voters volunteers will be on hand to help fans learn how to update their voter registration, find easy-to-understand local candidate and voting information, and learn about getting involved in the League’s work to engage voters nationwide. Registration forms for the November elections will be available.

According to artist Patty Griffin, “I am so excited about this upcoming tour! … single women are an incredibly influential voting group, and too many are not turning out to vote… so many in this group, of which I am a member, find so little to connect with in the workings of government. So little that we don’t bother.”

“I am hoping with this tour to bang the drum about our democracy, about our communities, and even about our neighbors down the street,” Griffin concluded.

“Our League is excited to be a part of this inspiring tour,” said Susan Goodwin, President of the League of Women Voters of the Rivertowns. “With our presidential primary coming up on April 19, now is the time for us to take advantage of any and all opportunities to talk with voters about how much their voice matters, help our neighbors make sure their voter registration is up to date and get them the information they need to cast a vote.”
