BALTIMORE — Religious leaders from across the Baltimore and Anne Arundel County area gathered to urge their congregations to vote in the upcoming election, using creative outreach strategies — including limousine transportation to the polls — to boost turnout.

Ministers representing millennial congregations and Latino communities joined forces to encourage churches to take an active role in getting members to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day on June 23.

Reverend Frances Toni Draper, Chief Executive Officer of the Afro, issued a broad call to action.

"My message to everyone who's listening to us today is get out the vote get your neighbors out to vote, uh, don't make the excuses that some of us make well my vote doesn't count every vote counts," said Reverend Draper.
