Do you believe in democracy? Do you feel the voice of students at UBC and voters across the city, province and country are not being represented because of institutional problems with our voting and political systems?
If you said yes and you are interested in campus politics and like writing then get in touch with us! We need writers! (email to fairvoteubc at symbol gmail dot symbol com )
Last year FairVoteUBC was a voice for progressive change in our voting system working to get proportional voting passed for voting on campus and organizing to support the BC-STV referendum. Read through our past posts to get a sense of what we’re about. If you agreee with some of what we said last year you could be one of our writers this year. If you are accepted as a writer you will have total freedom for your own articles. The hope is that we can get a few people to cover the upcoming AMS elections on campus and other democratic deficit issues concerning students.
If we can then we could enter the VFM competition for next year. For our election coverage last year we received $700 but we also won the regular, smaller VFMs for several months before election season.
FairVoteUBC is an ally to other fairvote organizations such as FairVoteBC and Fair Vote Canada but is not officially a member or constrained by those organizations.
Please let us know if you are interested.
