Your video could be about civil liberties under siege, checking the power of corporations, LGBT rights, global climate change, Marcellus Shale gas drilling, a parody of certain news hosts, or opportunities for minorities (race, ethnicity, ways of thinking, etc.) and women in politics, whatever YOU care about and want other people to care about, too.
...
We have prize money to award! There's no fee to enter. ENTRIES ARE DUE APRIL 9

ABOUT THE PITTSBURGH 14th WARD INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC CLUB:
The Club is the oldest continuously-operating independent Democratic club in the country. Our members are registered Democratic Party members in Pittsburgh's 14th Ward (Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, and North Point Breeze) who believe in progressive, traditional Democratic Party ideals. Many of its members come from activist backgrounds and have worked for peace,justice, economic equity, civil rights, equal rights, and other issues.
Although members are all Democrats, the club is not a part of the official Democratic Party.
More information will be available at www.pgh14widc.org soon.
Each Spring, before the Primary Election, the Club has an endorsement meeting during which members evaluate the candidates and vote to endorse for the upcoming Democratic Primary. Our endorsements are printed in a Voters Guide which is mailed to all registered Democrats in the Ward. We believe our reputation for an open process of allowing our members to hear the candidates and vote for those that match their values gives our endorsements credibility in the community. The Club's endorsement has helped candidates to receive a larger number of votes than they would have received without our endorsement.
The Club holds an annual fundraiser - previous events have featured Andy Borowitz (The Borowitz Report), Dan Perkins (Tom Tomorrow of the comic This Modern World), Asif Manvi of The Daily Show, and the edgy Squonk Opera. We hope to feature YOU this year!
