Saber's Health Care Video Makes it to Top 20 in Obama Contest
Wednesday, 28 October 2009

Saber
Remember when we introduced you to Saber’s (Juxtapoz cover #78) submission to President Obama’s Health Reform Video Challenge? Well, graffiti legend Saber has shaken things up in making an assertive video addressing his concerns with heath care. The video is now one of the top 20 left for voting in the challenge.



Exciting stuff, huh? How many graffiti artists do you know who are featured on the President of the United States’ website?  Well, if you know Saber, you wouldn’t be surprised that he would be the one to get involved…

This video was submitted as part of President Obama’s Health Reform Video Challenge to the country. Amongst thousands of competitors, Saber was chosen as one of the top 20 finalists. Now, he is asking you to vote for your favorite video of the group. The winner will be chosen for a national advertising campaign for Health Reform.
Here’s the link to the voting: http://my.barackobama.com/VideoChallenge

Each person can only vote ONCE for each video, and you have to vote for ALL 20 videos for your vote to count. So, take a few minutes and help us use art as a catalyst for social change.  We came together to get Obama elected, but the fight doesn’t end there. The president and congress need your action and support.
