Endorse Praveen's candidature in Kozhikode, Kerala Closed Wed 20 Mar 2019

Outcome
by Pirate Praveen Mon 1 Apr 2019

We are endorsing Praveen from Kozhikode. Update: Praveen is contesting from Kannur instead of Kozhikode as we have better local support and logistics become easier.

I'm a permanent member of Indian Pirates and I'm planning to contest Lok Sabha elections 2019 from Kozhikode. Since we are not a registered party, I will be contesting as an independent candidate. I also contested last Kerala state assembly elections from Thiruvananthapuram. The main goal is getting to talk to people about Indian Pirates and the ideas we stand for. First goal: Elections are a good time to talk to any random person about politics. Last time we had around 5 people to campaign and we could not talk to more than 500 people and we still got 160 votes. The decision to contest elections itself brought in more people to Indian Pirates. Second goal: Talking to people and debating issues can give more confidence to us, so it is helpful as a learning exercise as well. So I'd like to have a bigger team to campaign this time.

Would you volunteer some hours for building online campaign? Closed Wed 3 Apr 2019

We need to build an online campaign to reach out to people and talk about our ideas. This could involve recording videos, creating posters, notices, banners etc. You can do it from wherever you are. Since we don't have a lot of money to spend on public relations companies, everyone of us need to pitch in. By doing this, it also help us grow as we get clarification ourselves when trying to convey ideas to people. We will have to find answers to what people ask, so that will lead to more research on different topics.

Representation for historically oppressed groups is also essential for democracy.

i agree, like Kanhaiya Kumar says we've to support alternative politics that stands up and fights against hate and oppression.
