In January, millions of people are expected to flock to our nation’s capital for the inauguration of Barack Obama. This fete of our democracy means that DC residents and visitors can expect overcrowded public transportation, a massive influx of porta-potties, and spotty cell phone service, among other annoyances. However, the copious all-night parties and balls going on around town will make navigating the crowds worth it.
In addition to hosting our own inauguration kick-off reception on January 16, Campus Progress is proud to be one of the official sponsors of MTV’s “Be the Change Inaugural Ball” celebrating the accomplishments of young people. The ball will be held on January 20th at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Much of the details are still forthcoming, but according to MTV:
“The ball will be staged at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center and will feature several leading artists, celebrities and government officials (to be named later), alongside hundreds of young people who've been chosen to attend based on their demonstrated volunteerism.
The "Be the Change Inaugural Ball" will be televised live across all MTV platforms, including MTV, MTV2, MTV Tr3s, mtvU, MTV Hits, MTV Jams and MTV.com on the evening of January 20. Exact air times will be announced in the coming weeks.
The live television event will also include live broadcasts from other locations across the globe, where young people are completing major service projects. Leading up to the event, MTV will showcase stories of young people providing service within their communities on a daily basis, beginning on January 1.”
You can read more about the event over at Future Majority.
No word yet on whether or not the Presidential Inaugural Committee will grant the MTV ball status as the official youth ball (President-Elect Obama will only be making appearances at official balls) but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
Campus Progress is excited to be a part of this historic event -- keep checking back here for updates!
