Flip IT Forward

by mbilal

Secretly, everybody wants to be president. What happens when local, everyday community members are given a chance to act presidential?
Flip it Forward utilizes Youth Speaks' vast network of young poets as correspondents, 247Townhall's website as the platform, and Flip Camera's cameras as eyes and ears to capture low-income people all around the country presenting their faux presidential platforms.

This is a great outlet for young people to have their voices heard. So many perspectives aren't given adequate opportunities to be broadcast to the wider population.

I love these cameras. I use them a lot and like how easy they are to get quick clips of people.
