If you missed the “Rock the Vote” event in Los Angeles last month, you can relive part of the experience through Beau Sia’s “Check Yourself” piece. He inspires you to vote. Here’s more from him about his piece:
i wrote and recited this for a “get out the vote,” event on sept 17th, 2010, in los angeles, ca. though performed in front of an audience primarily of asian descent, the content of this piece is for everyone to become more involved making their government reflect their needs. there are too many people to thank for this. for supporting my voice. for making this video. for putting together the event in which it was filmed. for working so hard to build a better world for something greater than themselves.
Check yourself in November before you wreck yourself. After you vote, you may see Asians, Asians Everywhere.
