[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

[ed: thanks to M for responding ot Betty's query.]

From: "M Chateau" <mchateau at onebox.com>


Awhile back, someone was asking about videos for high school students… 
Thought I’d share this announcement.




Great Video by Khmer Girls in Action about prop 4!
much love to all those working to beat this bill.

Hello to all my Sisters,

I am excited to share this 2 minutes commercial our members made! Below
is the link of the commercial from a youth's perspective and voice to
organize and educate voters in California on Proposition 4, which is the
parental notification initiative requiring doctors to notify minor's
parents 48 hours before terminating a pregnancy. This is the third time
it's on the ballot. Our target is youth and voters in CA but I hope you
can all forward to your networks even if they are not in California to
share how media tools can be used to organize and influence media and the
public. Thank you for your support.

Heart,
Suely



There are only 16 days left until elections and we at KGA are urging you
to vote this November! KGA has been working hard to get the Long Beach
community to vote NO on 4.! This past month, we have been door-knocking
each Saturday to make sure that our targets, registered Asian voters
between the ages of 18-35, support teen health and safety.

By voting NO on Prop 4 you will be giving a voice to those of us who can't
vote.

If Prop 4 passes, it will put the health and safety of teens at risk of
seeking dangerous alternatives because we would have limited access to
confidential, safe and quality medical care.

Please watch our commercial and continue to support by forwarding to your
family, friends and networks. Attached you will also find KGA's Voter
Guide to help you navigate the other Propositions.
