Cricket stands up for democracy

I met with the guys from Cricket to discuss their newest happenings. Much was discussed about the AWS spectrum launch and the new handsets that would work on the spectrum. And as much as I get jazzed up about Cricket’s service, I came away wholly impressed by their ideals. On Tuesday, they had the Declaration of Independence on display, promoting Declare Yourself, an operation seeking to register young voters.

No, it might not have a ton to do with wireless directly. But as we see our great nation facing trying times, promoting voter registration and voter education is of the utmost importance. Democracy works best when everyone participates.

Cricket will be setting up a tour this summer, which will include voter registration drives. They will also make strides to inform people of deadlines for registration.

I love this partnership. Cricket knows that many of its customers are younger folks who are active socially — hence having an unlimited calling and texting plan. So not only is Cricket encouraging them to vote, but they’re sending that message to a demographic that is likely to spread it further: To friends, family…anyone they connect with.

You can check out Declare Yourself at Cricket’s homepage.
