On behalf of Kim Tenure and our voter engagement intern, John-Tyler Morris, we would like to invite you to view, like, and share the newly released “My Vote Matters” video.
This summer, DP partnered with community advocate, Jim Brennan, to create a parody sing-along music video to raise awareness about the importance of voting. The video is complete, and we’re excited to share it! Watch and share our new “My Vote Matters” music video now on YouTube!
The music video is a collaboration between DP staff and Jim Brennan, who performs weekly sing-alongs on social media with his son, Ian. This summer, Jim, Ian, community members, performers, and staff met at DP’s Jewell office to film the video. Jim brought a stellar production team and a music therapist to help the stars shine. The goal of the video is to bring attention to voting rights in the disability community and encourage all Coloradoans, regardless of ability, to register to vote, learn about the candidates and ballot issues, and – most importantly – vote.
Developmental Pathways also teamed up with Brewability, a pizzeria and brewery that primarily employs individuals with developmental disabilities, to host the “My Vote Matters” music video premiere party this past Thursday. All attendees were able to enjoy the music video thanks to Brewability’s vibrational dance floor (funded by a grant through DP in July), ASL interpreters, and a Spanish-speaking interpreter. Additionally, nonpartisan election officials from Arapahoe and Douglas Counties were present to assist with voter registration. DP staff and the community had a great time and made a great deal of impact along the way!

Sharable posts about the video are also available on DP’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.
