San Francisco Bay Area PFL participates in Independence Day Celebrations:
The India day event is held every year in Fremont, CA on open grounds. They had a booth at the event and volunteers staffed it throughout the two days. At the event, attended by over 5000 people, they were able to reach the message to over 500 people. They campaigned for voting rights for NRI's asking people to sign a petition to the Govt. of India to allow NRI's to vote by absentee vote in the Indian Elections to participate in India's political process as its rightful citizens. Over a dozen volunteers of PFL worked together to man the booth. Ravindra Nandam led the effort to coordinate the tasks across all volunteers and logistics for the event. His diligent planning and attention to details helped make this a great success for PFL.
