Time: 00:01:04
As opening graphic appears on screen:
On the left-hand side of the graphic a portrait of MJ Ibrahim 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 MJ Ibrahim seated. A lower third graphic with their name and title transition on briefly -
"MJ Ibrahim '23, MLK Scholar at Brandeis University"
They address the camera:
"Hello! My name is MJ. I'm a sophomore here at Brandeis University.
I'm an HSSP major, that is health, science, society and policy, and an Arabic minor and this is why voting is important for me.
Now even though I myself am not eligible to vote as I'm not a US citizen or permanent resident,this election cycle will dictate whether or not my family and I will remain in the United States and continue the life we've been building over the past five years or we would be deported back to Iraq where we are going to be facing persecution and potential execution due to ethnic and religious clashes as well as political instability.
So it is important for everyone there to go voice their voice and be the ones who are going to be championing for the voiceless and do not have the same rights and privileges as citizens of the United States and this is why voting is important for me."
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.
