Rock the Vote Announces 2010 Campaign

Like everyone else in the country, young Americans won’t turn out to the polls unless someone reaches out to them first. In 2010, Rock the Vote will step in by registering at least 200,000 young voters, quadrupling their 2006 registration levels. Some important ways Rock the Vote will mobilize young voters:
– A powerful and simple Online Voter Registration Tool
– An Online Action Platform, http://LIVE.RockTheVote.com, that allows anyone in the country to sponsor an event with Rock the Vote and invite community members to join.
– On the ground efforts in five states (FL, OH, PA, NC and CO) led by State Coordinators who will register young people at local events and concerts and run peer-to-peer turnout efforts statewide.
– Candidate forums in the target states, allowing youth to ask politicians the questions they really care about.
– An ad campaign, developed with the help of Jesse Dylan and FreeForm media, to encourage civic engagement among youth through PSAs and viral videos that will air online, on radio, and hopefully on air.
