For Artists
Try as we might, it’s impossible to get as many people pumped about a lecture as it is to get them pumped about a live show. Music is by far the easiest path towards the ears of young people across the globe. As lovers of live music, and passionate activists, we understand that feeling of inspiration when young people hear artists singing about the issues they care about. We want to give you the chance to see the change you make. By tapping into new fan bases of politically motivated young people you will see firsthand the change you inspire in the world!
What You Can Expect From Your Local Chapter
Dedicated Street Teams
There are over 200 SSDP chapters at colleges and universities all over the country. Chapters will have access to your contact information through our website and will receive encouragement and guidance from our national office on how to book and promote your band.
Media Resources
SSDP is a heavily networked organization, largely because we are made up almost entirely of college students. Not only are college students passionate and energetic enough to help promote your band, they are also the most knowledgeable and experienced users of modern media outlets of any population. SSDP’s website is visited by up to 2,000 people a day. On our AMPLIFY page we will have a photo, biography, and link to your band’s site. More than 100,000 people are subscribed to SSDP’s news and action alert list, which we will use to promote the AMPLIFY project. Our social networking sites are also growing everyday. Your events would be posted on Facebook and YouTube.
