The organization also fueled massive volunteer efforts through Get Out to Vote (GOTV) initiatives with bus trips to key battleground states.
"The efforts of many dedicated Young & Powerful professionals will be actualized in Washington on January 21, 2013 when President Obama will be sworn in for a second term. This is what happens when we BELIEVE!," shares Felix Sorgho, Co-founder of The Young & Powerful Group. "The celebrations will unite all of our cities, supporters, and partners who will undoubtedly continue to work together to lead our nation into its next chapter of greatness."
