In a groundbreaking partnership to boost voter turnout and civic
engagement, Bird Global, Inc. (OTCQX:BRDS), the largest
micromobility operator in North America, is joining forces with
Rock the Vote, the preeminent organization dedicated to engaging
and building the political power of young people. This
collaboration aims to promote and amplify the importance of voting
and help to ensure that every eligible voter has the tools and
information they need to participate in the upcoming elections.
As part of this initiative, on Election Days in markets Bird
operates, residents will be able to use a promotional code in the
Bird app to unlock two complimentary 30-minute rides. The aim is to
break down transportation barriers and ensure that every voice can
be heard at the ballot box. This partnership will officially
kickoff for the Memphis election on Thursday, Oct. 5th.
"As a company committed to creating sustainable and engaged
communities, we recognize the importance of civic duty and the
power of the vote," said Stewart Lyons, President of Bird Global.
"Our partnership with Rock the Vote reflects our commitment to
foster civic engagement and ensure that all voices are heard."
"Rock the Vote has always harnessed the latest trends and
technology to empower young voters," said Carolyn DeWitt, President
and Executive Director of Rock the Vote. "Teaming up with Bird,
we’re not just meeting young people where they are; we’re also
ensuring young voters have the tools and resources they need to
access the ballot and make their voices heard."
The collaboration will also introduce a series of community
events and initiatives across the country aimed at increasing voter
registration and education. With the synergy of Bird's vast user
base and Rock the Vote's expertise, the duo is setting out to make
a significant impact in the 2023 elections with more exciting
announcements to come in 2024.
Both organizations urge everyone to use their platforms to check
their voter registration, engage with election-related content,
and, most importantly, make their voices heard by casting their
votes.
