In October 2024, Cohort 12 embarked upon a group project, Vote for America! 2024 Each of the PSAs recorded a non-partisan video containing election information to inform their peers and to encourage them to vote, most for the first time.
The purpose of the project was to encourage qualified US citizens to vote, specifically to:
- register to vote
- learn about major issues
- listen to both sides
- fact-check speech content, biased reporters/entities, and advertisements
- volunteer
- vote!
