"The Power of Voting" video encourages young Asian Americans to register as voters and participate in the 2014 midterm voting

[October 8, 2014 - Los Angeles] This week, "Firecracker Project" and "Pan Stone Vote" collaborated to launch a new promotional video. The main purpose is to encourage Asian and Pacific American voters, whose population in the United States reaches 18 million, and the number will continue to increase significantly, to register and vote in the 2014 midterm election. In the latest promotional video "The Power of Voting" created by the "Firecracker Project", the main promotional focus is to encourage Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and first-time voters to exercise their civil rights, register as voters and formally participate in voting, and hope to reverse their previous weak political status in the United States. The promotional video is co-starred by the famous Filipino father-son actor Gary/Gabriel Valenciano and the famous Asian-Pacific actress Amy Hill. They used humor to encourage more young Asian and Pacific American people to actively register as voters and come out to vote on November 4. According to statistics from Harvard University's School of Politics, only 23% of young Americans are determined to vote in this year's midterm elections, and the turnout rate among Asian and Pacific American young people is expected to be even lower. Therefore, "Firecracker Project" and "Panshi Vote" work together to call on young Asians to come out and vote. Liu Fankai, the founder of the Firecracker Project, said that young Asian and Pacific American people should participate in voting like the vast majority of people in the United States, and he believes that humor can effectively attract the majority of young voters who have not participated in voting in the past. It is precisely because young Asian and Pacific American people desperately need to express their voices to the public and share the political issues they consider important. The promotional video they launched is to reach this group of Asian young people. Liu Fankai is 18 years old and was born and raised in China. He has been involved in politics and democratic movements since middle school. In the tenth grade, he founded the Asian Pacific American Citizens Association in school. In the eleventh grade, he began working as an intern in the office of Judy Chu, the first elected Chinese-American female congressman in the United States. His valuable experience prompted him to promote the "Firecracker Project" - whose mission is to increase the number and turnout of Asian voters. The "Power of Voting" video is sponsored and produced by the "Firecracker Project". They will provide this video to Asian and Pacific Islander-related organizations across the United States, including AAPI Vote Outreach, 18 Million Rising, APIA Vote, AAPI Civic Engagement Project, AAPI Partner Organization and other organizations to promote voter registration and participation in voting. "Pan Stone Vote" is a non-profit organization founded in 1990. Its mission is to attract young people to register as American voters and participate in voting through different pop culture, politics and technology. In the past 25 years, the six US presidential elections have successfully attracted more than six million new voters.
