Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock all year you’ll know that this November is time to vote for president. Presumptive Republican nominee, Senator John McCain, will face off against the presumptive Democratic nominee, Senator Barak Obama. Whoever you vote for the only way to do that is to register to vote. Rock the Vote is an organization that has been actively supporting young people in the area of politics and culture and has been instrumental in getting young people of voting age to not only register to vote but to be active in the political process. After all, your vote counts.
Rock The Vote is holding a competition for bands on MySpace. The winners will perform at the upcoming Republican and Democratic conventions. Click the link to register to win.
Founded nearly twenty years ago in response to a wave of attacks on freedom of speech and artistic expression, Rock the Vote quickly established itself as the premier organization representing the intersection of young people, politics, and popular culture.
Whether it’s Madonna wrapping herself in the flag for the first Rock the Vote PSA or Snoop Dogg launching us on our bus tour in 2004, Rock the Vote works with artists who really believe in and promote our mission. Lenny Kravitz, Diddy, N*E*R*D, and the Black Eyed Peas are just some of the artists who have supported us in engaging young people in the political process.
Rock the Vote uses connections with artists to grab the attention of young people, and engage them in building a political movement to fight for young people and the issues that affect their lives.
