GEN-ZiNE Presents "Extra Democratic: Solutions Outside of the Ballot Box"
For those of you who have been with us since our OG print days–thanks for coming on this journey with us. Here's to always designing media for social change 😉
November 3, 2022 New York, NY – Today, we released our very first documentary, Extra Democratic: Solutions Outside of the Ballot Box. Extra Democratic is a documentary short centering around six young organizers in Atlanta, Georgia who are driving real, tangible change outside of traditional democratic methods.
Curating art shows through the lens of American history, creating sustainable fashion to advocate for climate policy, and exploring abolition in regards to our policing system are just some of the ways these innovative activists are taking the concerns of their communities into their own hands.
Extra Democratic challenges the notion that voting solves every issue by itself, and instead amplifies a narrative highlighting a holistic balance between civic engagement and extra-democratic solutions outside of the ballot box. Watch it today.
What will your impact be outside of the ballot box?
