Atlanta native and Grammy award-winning superstar Usher is taking a break from signing autographs to help sign up young voters.
Usher’s New Look foundation, established to empower youth from underserved communities, partnered with civil rights activist the Rev. Joseph Lowery to kick off “I Can’t but U-Can,” a community wide voter registration drive, at Georgia Tech Sunday.
Most of the participants in Usher’s annual two-week New Look foundation summer camp are too young to vote, which is why the voter registration effort is titled “I Can’t but U-Can.” However, the R&B superstar is hoping his roster of campers will encourage their parents, older siblings, and others to register to vote because the campers’ futures are at stake, too.
“It affects everything from the campers’ education to economic future,” said Shawn Wilson, president of Usher’s New Look foundation.
