by Apathy is Boring — November 9, 2011


 

In an ideal world, Apathy is Boring would no longer exist and polling stations would be swarming with youth that are enthusiastic about asserting their democratic will. That hasn’t happened yet… so how do we get there? By reaching one person at a time. You can help spread the word by letting people know that Apathy is Boring and democracy is sexy.

HERE’S HOW:

1.  PLEDGE TO VOTE
Make your promise to vote on November 19th known

Share our PSA and make this your Facebook status: “Are you a voter? I AM. Because Apathy is Boring.” Then encourage your friends to pledge.

Because word of mouth gets the word out.

2. GET THE FACTS
Get prepared to cast your vote

Inform yourself on the issues in your municipality.

Read our “How To: Vote” guide and learn more from local groups like Get Your Vote On.

Because information is the seed of democracy.

3.  SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE
Encourage your friends to become fans of the Apathy is Boring Facebook Page
