Rock the Vote

Rock the Vote works at the intersection of popular culture and politics to engage and build political power for young people in our country. This mission is accomplished by providing tools for organizations to hold voter registration drives including do-it-yourself guides, promotional items and downloadable registration forms while also connecting musical artists to voter registration efforts. Electionland (http://electionland.com) is a database of elections information organized by state. The website also features an online registration tool that can be added to social media sites. Democracy Class targets 16-18 year olds with a particular focus on high schools in disadvantaged areas to improve civics education through interactive lesson plans and resources that use music and popular culture as a means to teach students about civics and the voting process, an online social network, and videos, music and personal appearances from Rock the Vote artists.
