Performer and political activist Wyclef Jean was in Newark on Friday to attend a “Rock the Vote” event at Essex County College. The event entitled “uWork Behind the Music” is part of an effort to raise awareness among voter-aged youth about the importance of voting and civic engagement. NJ Today Managing Editor Mike Schneider had a chance to speak with the Grammy-award winning artist about the youth vote in the year’s election.
In his get-out-the-vote message to a crowd of young voters recently, he challenged anyone who felt voting didn’t matter. “At times, they get frustrated because they don’t feel that their vote counts and once I heard them speak, I explained to them how important voting is,” said Jean.
