"We are thrilled to partner with Sheryl Crow to register young voters," said Heather Smith, Executive Director, Rock the Vote. "Bringing together music and politics is core to Rock the Vote's mission. Working with Sheryl, we can reach out to her fans and encourage them to register and encourage their friends, family and co-workers to do the same."
