At Brigade, we believe that technology can fundamentally change how citizens engage in our system of government. New approaches to spur civic participation must meet voters where they are — on their smartphones, tablets and laptops — and through popular mediums like short, sharable videos.
That’s why we’re excited to partner with “We The Voters,” a nonpartisan digital slate of 20 short films designed to inform, inspire and ultimately activate voters.
Rosario Dawson, Joshua Malina (ABC’s “Scandal”), Anabelle Acosta (NBC’s “Quantico”), Ana Ortiz (Lifetime’s “Devious Maids”), Analeigh Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love), YouTube star Grace Helbig and others take on big issues facing our country, including student debt, inequality, healthcare, immigration and media polarization.
The first 10 films debut today on 60 major distribution platforms including leading media outlets, mobile platforms and streaming video providers. The second 10 films will debut October 12 on the same channels. You can view the films as they are released at WeTheVoters.com and find new ways to engage with Brigade after watching.
Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan Productions partnered with production companies Show of Force and Morgan Spurlock’s Warrior Poets to create this mix of comedies, documentaries and animated shorts with the goal of helping voters, particularly millennials, make informed choices that will impact them now and for decades to come.
