Here is what some of our friends have to say about us…(thank you!)
Dan Snow (Historian/TV Presenter) – “I was immediately struck by Amisha’s passion and drive when I met her during the Yes to AV campaign. People in the West seem to have a jaded attitude towards politics and politicians but people like her and the Think Vote Act project are a reminder of what can be achieved in our democracy.”
Solitaire Townsend – “Think. Act. Vote. is able to do what so many of the mainstream parties struggle to do, and that’s to engage the public in what politics is truly about. I wish Amisha and all the team best of luck!”
Tamsin Omond – “This year’s general election is kickstarting some great initiatives. The Commons – a political party that is all about exciting the people who never bothered voting before and now this brilliant brand – Think Act Vote – thank God we’re not alone in making politics cool. Democracy isn’t about one vote in one ballot box, once every four years. It’s the conversations we have with our friends, it’s the clothes we wear and the slogans we write. Politics might be dead, but democracy is live and Amisha’s initiative shows us how true that is.”
Michael Norton – “Lots of people doing lots of little things can change the whole world. Think first. Then act. And also remember to vote, as participative democracy will be needed underpin our future very crowded planet. Think, act, vote…. you’ve got it about right”.
Ryan Fix – “our thoughts define our actions, which create our world. think>act>vote.”
Chris Arnold – “The future belongs to those that are inspired, who take risks, who push down the barriers of conformity and ignore the pessimists. To those that not only see change but make the change.”
Kriss Akabusi – “Think Act Vote is social entrepreneurial idea from Amisha Ghadiali to encourage us to connect to our world, connect to our universe, think of the moments in time that really impacted us and think of the acts that we know can help make a better world. I am really excited to be part in parcel of the programme and I hope that you will get involved too.”
Rowenna Davis – “Great project – let’s keep things positive.”
Atul Srivastava – “A great campaign and a great reminder that we don’t just vote at ballot boxes. We vote when we buy eco fashion. We vote when we buy hybrid cars. We vote when we use less energy in the home. We vote when we buy organic, fair trade and local food. We vote several times a day, so let’s think before we vote!”
Leonora Oppenheim – “Fantastic way to get people thinking creatively about the future and about politics in the run up to the election – aiming for a demographic that usually feels left out of the political process – great work!”
Tuba Gursoy – “Think Act Vote is an open invitation and encouraging platform for absolutely anyone who cares about their future. Unlike other campaigns, it doesn’t have a hidden agenda or fixed gaze on a particular social group. I feel connected to something much greater and more positive as a result of this.”
Cyndi Rhoades – “After years of developing different platforms for engaging people in key issues at Anti-Apathy, it’s great to see how fresh initiatives like Think Act Vote are encouraging new audiences to get involved, be creative and take a proactive stance towards making positive change happen.”
Peter Hames – “Anything to connect meaningful issues with voting in people’s minds. And there are few things as democratic as the t-shirt.”
Marcia Chandra – “The Think Act Vote Campaign is great for injecting a little diversity into political engagement by reaching out to a younger ‘cool’ conscious audience. Its not just about voting once a year, its about how politics and choice impact our daily living.”
Simone Figuere – “The Think Act Vote Campaign is brilliant because you can feel the passion behind it and that’s going to attract more of this from people and get them to flow with more vigor and zest in life – especially feeling the confidence to create change – which is EXACTLY what the campaign is all about!”
Samantha Hannah – “Not enough people in this beautiful world care to look after it, which is sad, because most of us are happy to live in it!”
Rhea Donaldson – “It is hopeful – that people feel free enough to express their dreams of a future and maybe even organise to help it happen”
Ellen – “Caring about what you believe shouldn’t be seen as uncool, the Think Act Vote campaign prevents this, and personally it’s a relief to see I’m not the only young person excited about politics”
Cynthia Fah-Ok – “All of us can be more mindful of the way we treat each other, ourselves and the planet. One way that change can occur is through creative and clever dialogue that inspires one not only to think, but to ACT. When we realise those entrusted with the power to ACT for us are put there by election, and that we are not hapless cattle or victims of happenstance, it is hoped that we will strive to become the educated voter with a voice.”
Lenka Krepelkova – “I think people need to be educated these days about eco-friendly lifestyle. A lot of people seem to have no idea about what is going on around them. We are becoming like the obeying sheep-work, food, sleep and we completely forget to live and I think that eco friendly lifestyle is actually something that gives you a kick up your back side to realise that there is so much beauty and love around you but there is also so much we could do and give some love back to our environment and our planet! Keep up your amazing work-let it be all worth it!”
September Rose – “I love this idea – I think it’s great, it encourages people to really think about things and write it down, which just adds a degree of import to it, by commiting it to ‘paper’. I think sometimes people are afraid of standing out from the crowd by doing something different. This space allows people to do just that almost anonymously, but at the same time it makes them realise that there are a lot of people who feel the same which will hopefully encourage them to do more.”
Amie Tsang – “Politics is personal and it’s time someone made it so. ”
Samson Pharaoh Ikharia – “I think it’s easy for people (particularly certain social groups) to feel they are worthless, can’t make a difference within the world or within their own lives…This hurts me. That’s why I support you lot.”
Ilaria Pasquinelli – “This project gives hope and energy and it is an example on how to think outside the box.”
Lord Alderdice – ” Think, Act, Vote is the perfect antidote to the mixture of chaos, violence and authoritarianism that is causing so much despair in our global village. TAV is a creative, exciting and inspiring call to action, and whatever age you are, you have something to bring to the party. Join it”
Ella Nosworthy – “Spreading awareness and really getting people thinking…not simply by going around with clip boards lecturing people that never works. You are doing something unique that they will remember and thumbs up foe actually getting people involved and thinking. Also getting some big coverage…well done!”
Louisa Doyle – “I think its a really great cause and I love how it is different to any other I’ve come across before. I’m really interested in the fashion aspects and can’t wait to get involved”
Katie Weightman – “Keep up the good work!”
Daisy De Villeneuve – “Think Act Vote Campaign brings to light an important matter concerning us all”
Rebecca Gill – “It’s important to know that what most people think isn’t being echoed by current politicians”
Anika Khanna -“‘When you unite many voices to carry one unanimous message the power that message and prayer carries will be strong enough to resonate throughout the world and make a difference”
Diana Korchien – “Follow the beating of your heart and one day, it will be the heart of politics. Well done, Think Act Vote for listening to your collective hearts!”
Rebecca Kaykas-Wolff – “There is nothing more powerful than to feel passion for something then act on it in a positive manner. Think Act Vote allows one person to make a critical change. Don’t waste the opportunity!”
Chloe Mardsen – “All industries need to be more forward-thinking and fashion is one of the few industries attempting to build a sustainable future. It brings politics and fashion together.”
Helen Ball -” I think that this is an awesome idea! It gives people from all walks of life and careers to say what is important to them. It will give the “big wigs” an idea of the changes that need to made and not those that are decided in a board meeting!”
Victoria McQuillan – “Politics is running the risk of disappearing from contemporary culture and dearly needs a new lease of life! Think Act Vote is a great opportunity to affect a change.”
Michael Gun-Why – “Discovering the Think Act Vote Campaign has made me realise that I am not alone in wanting to make a positive change. I think its brilliant!”
Natalie Vescia – “Because it allows the government to hear our real voice and it is more powerful than a petition. It goes that extra mile!”
Ada Zanditon – ” Think Act Vote is vital and important because so many have become really disengaged with politics so its great to see a neutral campaign that encourages people to be engaged and make choices and feel empowered. Everyone has an opinion and we can only say we live in a democracy if we discuss/ express them and act and vote! ”
Sarah Ratty – “I was invited to customise a t-shirt by the Think Act Vote Campaign and a few days later the tee’s arrived in the post! I wasn’t sure what I was going to make from them and several ideas flitted across my mind before finally settling on one. I don’t usually talk about this kind of thing but quietly add it into each collection I make and let the designs speak for themselves, which I have been doing for the past twenty years, but this year as I was invited to be a key speaker at the UN I thought it was time to speak up and call for action, Think Act Vote is a campaign that asks us to do the same thing, speak up and make a difference.”
Mirella De Jonge – “I’ve newly progressed into the post-25 age group and remain painfully aware of the disenfranchisement felt by young people as well as everyone else. Think Act Vote is an important actor in the long and hard fight for democracy.”
Beautiful Soul – “Think.Act.Vote. encourages us to think about our future, voice our opinion and communicate our message; Beautiful Soul is proud to be part of such a refreshing campaign”.
Junky Styling ” We love Think Act Vote. Get it out there and keep it out there!”
Traid Remade – “TRAID says ‘you can’t take part if you don’t take part’.”
Tara Starlet – “Think Act Vote is a brilliant innovative project, inspiring people to become activists in a fun and different way”
Nancy Dee- “We got involved with the project as they felt that this campaign was a great way to raise awareness and remind people that their votes affect their future.”
Miksani- “I wanted to be involved in the Think Act Vote campaign because I fully support it’s positive approach, we are all responsible for the small and large choices we make in our lives each day.”
