Democracy isn’t sexy until we know what it means.

Moka Only, Zaki Ibrahim, and MuchMusic VJ Hannah Simone join Apathy is Boring to celebrate our website launch and 3rd anniversary with a concert and panel in Montreal at Club Soda on February 17th 2007.

Apathy is Boring is proud to announce the launch of our brand new website featuring engaging information about our Canadian democracy, interactive and multimedia content, and a host of other dynamic features. This bilingual site is an amazing new way for young people to learn about our political system and to make their voices heard.

“Apathy is Boring uses music as a way to get our peers interested in how our democracy works. We can’t only be concerned with politics when there is an election.” Ilona Dougherty, Executive Director Apathy is Boring

Bringing politicians, musicians, and youth into the same room, this is a social experiment in direct democracy. This multifaceted event begins with a panel featuring musicians, political leaders, and concerned citizens, and will end in a concert that will inspire youth to remember that “democracy is more then voting”. Confirmed guests and organizations include: Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, representatives from the Liberals, NDP, and Conservative parties, Fair Vote Canada, Rights & Democracy Student Network, Taking It Global and many more.

The Apathy is Boring Project is a national non-partisan organization that aims to use art, media, and technology to engage youth in the democratic process. www.apathyisboring.com
