ATTENTION CONCORDIA!
It's OUR turn now to show political leaders, and the rest of the country that YOUTH ARE VOTING, YOUTH ARE ENGAGED, and we're ready to ROCK THE VOTE.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT - VOTE MOB VIDEO - Tuesday, April 19th at noon!
Location - TO BE ANNOUNCED on Friday, April 15th, after a meeting on the 7th floor of the Hall building - at noon - to brainstorm ideas for our video! COME ONE COME ALL and SHARE your ideas! This is a collaborative movement and we need your brilliant minds!
The University of Guelph started this movement as a response to Rick Mercer's "Rant" about challenging youth to vote in the upcoming federal election. Since then, the video has gone viral, and THE MOVEMENT IS GROWING. There are currently more than 13 campuses across the country that have already, or are currently planning a "vote mob" video.
NOW- it's time to get Concordia onboard! YEAH? Yeah.
The student engagement has been INCREDIBLE at Concordia this year! SO let's channel this energy towards this movement..... take a well-deserved study break in the name of our democracy, and Canadian youth!
** This is a NON-PARTISAN event! So wear whatever you want, but don't come repping your party! REP YOUR PARTY ON MAY 2ND.
STAY TUNED: more info to come ASAP about where and how we're gonna rock this.
UNTIL THEN: Invite your friends from Concordia, and from the Montreal community! Send them this Facebook event! Spread the word! We want as many people as possible!!!!
Change is happening all across the country- become a part of it, get informed, and VOTE for the Canada that you want.
