The unique aspect of our organization is not
only that it is student-led, but that it focuses on a strong educational
curriculum in order to supplement traditional get-out-the vote-efforts.
By arming young people with the knowledge to navigate the political
process via a commitment to dialogue, issues awareness, and interaction with
local government, we hope to create a foundation for life-long participation in
the democratic system. Additionally, in response to the variety of cultural and
institutional obstacles that seem to stand firmly in the way of fair, open, and
truly democratic governance and elections today; SAVE also devotes its time to
exploring possible reforms to the American electoral process.
SAVE has received wide media coverage since its inception
just a few months ago. Since May, SAVE has been featured on Fox News,
C-Span, Al-Jazeera English, Voices of America, XM Satellite Radio, and the
Discovery Channel as well as quoted by the Associated Press, the Washington
Post, the Columbus Dispatch, the Akron Beacon Journal, the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, the Press of Atlantic City, the Palm Beach Post, the Iowa Press
Citizen, The Nation, the American Prospect, The Politico, Scripps Howard News
Service, The Chronicle for Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed and several
other media outlets.
We are invested in many other projects throughout the coming
months and we look forward to playing a leading part in shaping the youth vote
for 2008.
