When Rosario Dawson began developing Voto Latino in 2004, the goal was to get out the vote.”Voto Latino was started as a public service campaign encouraging American Latino youth to participate in the political process,” the actress explains.
Previously, no org was effectively using technology and entertainment to reach young Latino voters, she says.
Dawson teamed with political consultant Maria Teresa Petersen to establish a board, expand an arts coalition of celebrities (Cameron Diaz, John Leguizamo) and find powerful supporters such as Pacific Gas & Electric and the Silicon Valley Foundation.
“We created the first voter registration engagement programs that involved iTunes, MySpace, YouTube, radio stations and youth-space networks, and we were the first organization on a national level to use kids text messaging and the first to use viral videos like telenovelas,” says Petersen, founding executive director of Voto Latino, which is 98% volunteer run.
“We discovered a real opportunity to get American Latino youth engaged in civic participation because no one else was doing it. And over 50,000 new Latino youth become of voting age each month,” notes Dawson, adding that most of them speak English.
Since Jan. 1, Voto Latino has registered more than 22,000 people in the U.S. on VotoLatino.org. “For me, as a second-generation American, Voto Latino is personal,” Dawson says. “I’m proud to say that a lot of my work has helped shed light on this often misunderstood electorate.”

Here is a clip from the Morning Joe show where Rosario discussed Voto Latino and the upcoming election.
Rosario Dawson may have two new movies set for release this fall, but for now she’s taking a break from acting to focus on politics.
The New York native, accompanied by boyfriend Mathieu Schreyer, went to Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Hill Tuesday to help promote voter participation.
“I decided I’m not going to be working at all through the fall,” the actress – who’ll be seen in Eagle Eye with Shia LaBoeuf and Seven Pounds with Will Smith – told PEOPLE.
Instead, she plans to work at voter drives across the country sponsored by her non-profit Voto Latino.
“We’re targeting the Latin youth vote,” said Dawson, 28. “There’s 18 million [people who] are eligible. But we are not showing that up in votes. So our numbers aren’t counting. When you actually … work with local organizations – that makes the biggest impact, and that’s what I want to be a part of.”
Dawson (who admits she didn’t vote for president until 2004, the same year she started Voto Latino) will be at both Democratic and Republican conventions as part of her efforts to reach young Latinos.
“The reason why I co-founded Voto Latino is because of my mom,” she told the crowd in D.C. “It’s because of my grandmother. It’s because I was raised to do it yourself. You want that to be better? You do it yourself.”

The website for Gemini Division is up and running. Go check it out and sign up to get the latest alerts and such. Be sure to check out the trailer as well.
Below is a very long and detailed article featuring a lot of information concerning Gemini Division. Check it out as well as the sneak peak from NBC below.
In her studded black tunic and high-heeled boots, Dawson is apparently Tinseltown’s idea of how to clean up the streets. “She looks like she can kick some ass,” observes Brent Friedman, the chief screenwriter, who’s watching on a nearby monitor. But even though we’re in a Hollywood zip code, this is no film or television shoot. The rented space looks more like an oversize garage than a studio soundstage. Instead of the usual army of grips and gaffers, the production is staffed by a skeleton crew. And the parking lot outside? Barely big enough for 20 cars.
Things are getting serious between Rosario Dawson and DJ boyfriend Mathieu Schreyer.
The two – currently on a European jaunt – are visiting London, where the actress recently purchased an apartment.
“This is the first time he’s ever been here to see my flat,” Dawson, 29, told PEOPLE Tuesday night at a London bash in honor of A-list hairdresser Tara Smith and her new line of environmentally friendly hair care products.
But that’s not the only reason for their trip. “We went to France to see my boyfriend’s family,” added the actress. (Schreyer hosts a radio program in L.A. and goes by the name of “Mr. French.”)

Just giving you guys a heads up, over this past weekend I updated the gallery for the past year. You can see the new additions starting here on page 51 of the latest additions and working your way back to page 1.
I still have plenty more additions coming in the near future of old events and photoshoots but as for now browse through over 1200 new images. Remember you must be a member of the gallery in order to view the photos. Registration is free and only takes a few seconds to complete.
One last note, I’ve received numerous emails asking this so I figured to clear it up here. Rosario will not be attending Comic Con this year. Be sure to check back here often for any future appearances you can attend.
Thank you for your continued support!
The anticipated release of the Wonder Woman animated DVD is February 2009. You can view the sneak peek on youtube (Part 1 & Part 2). The quality is not very good but as soon as I find a better version I will let you guys know. As for right now your best bet is to go get the Batman – Gotham Knight (Two-Disc Collector’s Edition)
