#9 Political Manifesto/Political campaign

My group decided to do a campaign on preventing sharks from being killed for their fins. Shark finning is a practice that is extremely harmful to the ecosystem of the ocean. Tens of millions of sharks are killed each year for their fins, which are sliced off while the shark is alive. The shark is then dumped back into the ocean and left to die an extremely painful death. Most of the shark fins are used in Asia to create shark fin soup, a delicacy there. Our campaign would raise public awareness of this issue to have more people lobby against shark finning and to make the practice illegal in the entire world.
We created various social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get interest from everyone who has an account that can view the tweets and Facebook posts. I also came up with a slogan for our campaign: "Sharks are friends, not food." This play on the popular Finding Nemo phrase is so that people can easily recognize the reference, and to see the irony in the phrase; the sharks in the movie use this phrase except its 'fish are friends, not food'. In this case it is us humans who are eating the sharks that say our campaign slogan instead.
A few examples of the work our campaign has created to raise awareness

This is our campaign's facebook page. We created it so that people can easily view discussions about our movement.

Here is the instagram account that we are using.

An example of some tweets that we are doing in support of our cause.

This picture of a friendly shark is our campaigns logo. Our cute shark friend does not yet have a name.

And finally here is the poster that I created to really nail the point home.

With all of these unique and memorable posters, pictures, and slogans, we are hopeful that our environmental campaign can gain support among people across the world so we can stop shark finning. Sharks are very misunderstood creatures and are essential to our world. We have to protect them.
