My name is Agastya, and I am an intern for Rideshare2Vote. I am a student at Edison High School enrolled in its STEM Academy. I currently work for the dispatch team at Rideshare, and I am passionate about providing voters with a means to fulfill their democratic rights. Throughout my life, I have had a passion for equal rights and policy, and I have demonstrated this through volunteering with New Jersey Democratic political campaigns. Additionally, I contribute to my school newspaper, DECA chapter, and Health for Humanity, a youth-led organization dedicated to raising awareness about heart health issues.
The right to vote is something that various groups throughout history have fought for and serves as an essential backbone to this nation’s democracy, so I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help foster this right for those with limited access to polling facilities!
