This year we have the unprecedented opportunity to make a difference in Latino communities across the United States simply by filling out the 2010 U.S. Census form. Based on the results of the census, the federal government will allocate more than $400 billion in funds for hospitals, schools, job-training centers and public works projects.

Mi gente, we cannot do this without you.  I ask that you take a stand and pledge your participation in the 2010 Census today on our site. By pledging, you will also receive 25 free songs from major artists like Pitbull, Aventura, Morrissey, Mos Def, Jaguares and Los Tigres del Norte. Remember to stay tuned as Voto Latino will be bringing you updates and many census events to help spread the word. But most importantly, remember to pledge, be counted, and represent!

Sincerely,
Rosario Dawson,
Voto Latino Co-founder & Actress

SHE is playing the very embodiment of the Earth’s fertility, and what hot-blooded male wouldn’t want a piece of her?

Latina actress Rosario Dawson seems like the perfect choice to play Greek goddess Persephone in a new fantasy adventure, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

We visited the set in Vancouver to find out how she enjoyed shooting a film with a cast including Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean and Steve Coogan who, as Hades, makes her his queen in the Underworld.

In costume as Persephone, she is in a low cut, black and purple lace dress with a bodice, bustle and high-heeled boots.

Rosario said: “My chest is out there, the lust is out there, it’s just dripping with sensuality and aggression.

“It has been really fun playing a goddess, I have to say. She’s wild. It is full-on flirtatiousness.” Read more…

The multi-talented Rosario Dawson forms part of a star-studded supporting cast in the thrilling new action adventure, “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief” as Greek goddess Persephone.

Based on the best selling and highly praised novel by Rick Riordan, the movie sets off when Zeus’ master lightning bolt was stolen and is convinced that Percy Jackson (played by newcomer Logan Lerman) is the thief. Percy, being the son of Poseidon, god of the sea is then summoned by the gods to a perilous quest to prove his innocence. He must retrieve the master bolt from the god of the underworld, where Persephone is trapped in a loveless marriage with Hades.

Following is a q&a with Dawson who brings delicious humor along with an enticing, sexy allure to her portrayal of the Greek goddess Persephone. Read more…

East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP)—an outstanding after school program for kids—suddenly has the chance to win $1,000,000. Rosario Dawson is a huge supporter and asking her fans to help them win this competition.

Help to get out the vote between now and January 22!

From EHTP: As you may know, EHTP gives kids in the East Harlem community the opportunities they would have if they were born 20 blocks south – strong academic support, great film, dance, and arts programs, and a safe haven. Every year, we help 500 kids ages 5-18 by strengthening their math, literacy, science, and music skills and offering unique classes like Robotics, mask-making, screenplay writing and poetry slams.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW:

In what is a ridiculous Cinderella story, our small organization beat out more than 500,000 charities in Round 1 of the JPMorgan Chase Facebook Contest.  Now it is on to Round 2, where the top vote winner gets $1,000,000 (those who place 2^nd through 6^th win $100,000).

The competition is down to the final 100 organizations, of which EHTP is one of the only education nonprofits still standing. We need your help to get the word out!

If EHTP wins, we will expand our small College Success Program, helping more kids from East Harlem graduate college by providing them with the resources most poor Black and Latino students don’t have access to. Our students will receive four years of support including:

• Annual academic scholarships
• A laptop and funds to buy critical school supplies each semester
• Ongoing personal, career and educational counseling
• Reimbursements for career development expenses

If we win, more of our students will graduate from college, serve as desperately needed role models, and change the odds for future generations.

WE NEED YOU:

EHTP is hoping—okay, pleading—that you help us get the word out between now and January 22 and ask people to vote.  Specifically we hope that you can:

• VOTE for us by clicking here – http://vote.ehtp.org/
• Update your Facebook Status
  
• Tweet

Any one or all of the above would mean a great deal to in our efforts to win $1,000,000.  I have provided you with text to help (see the attachment).  Feel free to use some or all of it.

Voting has already begun and continues until midnight on Friday, January 22^nd, 2010.

Thank you for your support.  Now let’s ROCK the Vote!
