ACC is committed to providing nonpartisan resources to support the community in participating in decisions that impact our lives. Every voice matters,\u201d says ACC Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart. \u201cIt is an honor to be selected as the winner of this concert. It celebrates the spirit of bringing together voices to create something remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This concert is part of a broader effort to increase voter turnout among community college students, who traditionally vote at lower rates than their peers at four-year institutions. Through the partnership with Levi\u2019s\u00ae and MTV\u2019s ACC, aims to have a greater part in helping a national initiative to close voting gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get Involved with ACC Votes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACC remains dedicated to helping students and the community make their voices heard in the upcoming election.
