Chicago on Election Night

See3 Covers the Party in Grant Park

Chicago was electrifying last week, and millions of people watched from home as Barack Obama gave his historic election night speech in Grant Park.

Several members of the See3 team were there, in line and among the crowd of thousands, catching the night on camera. We asked people one simple question: "Why are you here tonight?"

Watch what they said:

"It's history. Everybody wants to be a part of it."

The Next Generation of Advocates

NARAL Pro-Choice America Introduces free.will.power

See3 has been working for months with NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation to conceive, develop, and produce their latest initiative: free.will.power. This innovative video-based online initiative is designed to reach younger activists and recruit a new generation of young women and men into the pro-choice movement.

"that this root cellar of hope they call a body be fully yours / with all its funk and blossom-worthy goodness"

We had the younger audience in mind from the very beginning, always asking the question, "In this age of 24/7 information access, what will get their attention, connect with them, and really make them think?"

The result is www.MyFreeWillPower.com, centered around a series of three animated music videos (only one is released today, so sign up on the site to receive the next two as they come out).

Each video features a young, critically-acclaimed spoken-word artist – Shira Erlichman, Alvin Lau, and Deja Taylor – as well as renowned musician, DJ Spooky. We wrapped compelling words, visuals, and sound into a thought-provoking series, with each video riffing on a different word: "Free", "Will", and "Power". We hope you enjoy this first video, "Free", and share it with your friends.

You can submit a t-shirt design and win $1,000

On the website, there are interactive ways for new activists to get involved with NARAL Pro-Choice America's work, including taking action on a choice-related issue, learning about state-by-state legislation, or entering (and later voting in) a $1,000 t-shirt design contest.

And the timing couldn't be better.

"In the 2008 presidential election, we witnessed how the power of technology and the enthusiasm of young voters revolutionized the political process,” says Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation. “This generation of youth is the most diverse and engaged generation in our country’s history. free.will.power represents one way to engage this new generation of activists and connect them with the pro-choice cause."
