About Rock the Vote:
Rock the Vote (RTV) is a national nonpartisan organization that seeks to engage and build political power for young people in order to achieve progressive change in our country. Founded twenty years ago at the intersection of popular culture and politics, Rock the Vote has registered more young people to vote than any other organization or campaign, including in the 2010 election cycle, when we generated 300,000 voter registration applications, engaged thousands of volunteers, and continued to provide information for young people to find out what they need to know before casting a ballot.
After years of declining participation at the polls, a new generation of young voters has arrived. Millions of new voters between the ages of 18 and 29 cast ballots in 2004, 2006, 2008, and most recently in 2010. Rock the Vote is dedicated to building on this momentum to empower the Millennial Generation by registering and turning out young people, forcing the candidates to campaign to issues important to young people, and making politicians pay attention to youth and the issues they care about once in office.
