Voting has started in the EU elections, and a band of far-right bigots, racists, and climate-deniers could win power -- not because most people agree with them, but because most people don't vote! The far-right are relying on low turnout, so we need to make sure we all get to the polls before it’s too late! Go vote and then get your friends and family to do the same -- here's how. Studies show that people are more likely to vote if they see others doing so as well. If we show we're going to vote by updating our social media profile pics with a nifty 'Yes We Vote!' filter, we can inspire others, and create a ripple effect all the way to the voting booth!
It takes less than 2 minutes -- simply follow these steps:
Click here to get your #YesWeVote Facebook frame;
Reposition your profile pic as you see fit (don't worry if image proportions look off on mobile -- it'll be fine when posting!);
Under “Add a description”, use a caption like “I’m voting in this EU election -- are you??”;
Click on “Use as Profile Picture”;
And, you’re done! :)
This week our community is going all-out with ads across Europe urging voters to head to the polls, and sharing with media everything we've uncovered around disinformation and how it's destroying our democracies.
So right now, it's all hands on deck -- which is why even the smallest gesture, like showing our friends that we're voting, is one of the most important things we can do this week. Far-right candidates are counting on us to stay home because when we sit out, they win. We can’t let that happen -- now more than ever our voices are needed.
Let’s flood our friends’ feeds with encouragement to vote and help protect everything we love.
With hope and determination,
Bert, Rewan, Andrew, Mike, and the entire Avaaz team
P.S. - If you're on twitter, here's a frame you can use, with the hashtag #YesWeVote!
