Rosario Dawson has decided to put acting on the back burner for the rest of the year in order to focus on politics.
Accompanied by boyfriend Mathieu Schreyer, Rosario headed to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to promote voter participation.
Although you can catch her on on ‘Eagle Eye’ with Shia LaBoeuf and ‘Seven Pounds’ with Will Smith this fall, she recently told People,
I decided I’m not going to be working at all through the fall.
The 28-year-old told audiences in D.C.,
We’re targeting the Latin youth vote. There’s 18 million [people who] are eligible. But we are not showing that up in votes. So our numbers aren’t counting. When you actually … work with local organizations – that makes the biggest impact, and that’s what I want to be a part of.
The reason why I co-founded Voto Latino is because of my mom. It’s because of my grandmother. It’s because I was raised to do it yourself. You want that to be better? You do it yourself.
