Snap Inc.’s Post

This is what happens when we make politics accessible and relevant! 💥 Give An X absolutely SMASHED it with their youth voter registration campaign and it paid off. On National Voter Registration Day (18th June) 632,863 people registered to vote of which 355,548 were 18-34 years old! How did they do it?: 👉 Partnered with Tinder to have a unique swipe card come up on everyone's feed, reminding them to register 👉 Worked with Snap Inc. to create lenses and stickers people could use, post and spread the message to get their friends to register 👉 Gave out free ice cream with Ben & Jerry's to get people to register 👉 SMASHED it on the social media graphics that were fun and relatable Politics is about representing and making decisions for the people, it shouldn't be full of the barriers to access it currently is for many young people. Making politics work, means bringing it into society and to the people - rather than expecting them to come to it. Give an X are doing it right and there's a lot we can learn. I can't wait to see what more there is to come in the run-up to the election on the 4th July ... 👀 #voting #voterregistration #GiveanX #youthvoice #youngpeople #democracy

Earlier this week, I wrote on here why it's bad for democracy to not run inclusive voter outreach efforts. Here are some ways to implement an effective inclusive voter engagement campaign. I recorded this after I wrapped up a media hit with MSNBC discussing the 2024 elections and the youth vote a few weeks ago. And I wanted to share how I work with clients in creating voter engagement campaigns that resonate and mobilize voters. My work often focuses on reaching voters of color, Millennials/Gen Z, women, New Americans because they are often the communities ignored when we only focus on people who vote regularly. But these tactics can be applied broadly. Let’s dive in! 💼 #WomeninPolitics #2024elections #VoterOutreach #BlackConsultantsMatter — —————— If you are an progressive organization or political campaign that needs to find and meaningfully engage voters, especially voters of color, for the 2024 elections and beyond. I can help you with that. Please check out https://lnkd.in/epVvr_QZ to get in contact

🗳️ We've been discussing the role a community centre such as Centre4 can play in the forthcoming #GeneralElection Disenfranchised communities often feel marginalised in the political process, leading to low voter turnout and a sense of political apathy. However, engaging these communities is crucial for a vibrant democracy. Here are some strategies we could employ in coming weeks. What do you think 🤔? Community Outreach: 🌱 Grassroots organisations and local councils can play a pivotal role in reaching out to disenfranchised groups. By hosting forums, workshops, and community centre meetings, we can provide platforms for community members to voice their concerns and learn about the electoral process. Educational Campaigns: 🤔 A lack of understanding about how the political system works often deters participation. Providing clear, accessible information about the importance of voting, how to register, and the impacts of policies in their everyday lives can empower people to take part in elections. Collaboration with Influential Community Figures: 👨👩👧👦 Partnering with trusted local leaders and influencers can help bridge the gap between political candidates and disenfranchised voters. These figures can advocate for participation and reassure their communities about the importance of their votes. Accessible Voting Options: 👩🏼🦽 Ensuring that polling stations are conveniently located and accessible to people with disabilities, as well as providing alternative voting methods such as postal or online voting, can remove logistical barriers that prevent people from voting. We believe that community centres like ours provide a great place to encourage voting, as you're going where people already are. Convenience is king. Addressing Key Issues: ❎ Politicians and parties need to engage with the specific issues that affect disenfranchised communities. By focusing on policies that address their needs and demonstrating genuine commitment to resolving their concerns, they can build trust and encourage electoral participation. Would these tactics help create a more inclusive electoral process that ensures every community's voice is heard and valued in the UK's democratic system? Comment below with your thoughts 💭👇🏼
