COLORSNW ELECTION COVERAGE 2008

In this unprecedented election year, we will bring you four installments of election coverage we hope will inform, illuminate and inspire. The candidacies of Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton have opened unprecedented doors for people of color and women in U.S. politics, and we hope that our coverage will help to encourage more people of color to participate in the political process.

Here we have tried to provide you the tools to become engaged, please let us know if there are resources we could add or if you have suggestions for the site. Email Editor Naomi Ishisaka at naomii@colorsnw.com with suggestions or comments.
