Why I Vote - Marie Tojong
Time: 00:01:00
As opening graphic appears on screen:
On the left-hand side of the graphic a portrait of Marie Tojong is seen with a close-up image of red, white and blue "VOTE" button is in the background. One the right-hand side of the image in large white with a blue stoke lettering reads "WHY I VOTE" laid over a slate colored background.
The graphic then cuts to video of Maria Tojong seated. A lower third graphic with their name and title transition on briefly -
"Marie Tojong '23, MLK Scholar at Brandeis University"
They address the camera:
"Hi! I'm Marie Tojong. I'm a sophomore studying health: science, society and policy and I'm an MLK fellow and board member of the Southeast Asian Club here at Brandeis.
This is my first presidential election that I'm eligible to vote for and I'm very excited to exercise my political voice through voting.
I vote for the earth. I vote for those who can't.
I vote for my future children even though I'm only 19 years old and i don't have any children.
I'm worried about their world ending soon and I'm sick and tired of feeling like our politicians don't have the most vulnerable in their best interests as they should.
There are so many issues that I need to live to see resolved and I can't express that in such a short video.
So to put simply a vote because I want to leave the world better than how I first came."
The video then transitions out to show a white background where blue text reading "Brandeis University" fades into the screen. A few frames later the text "go.brandeis.edu/votedeis" also fades into the screen after a few seconds the screen fades to black.
