It's Time: 1998
Gladwyn Simmons, a passionate community organizer, mobilized a hard-core youth and first-time voter registration drive under the banner of "It's Time." Dread and Baha Productions, ignited a grassroots movement that attracted far more participants for the progressive labor party (PLP).
The energy and enthusiasm of these young Bermudians were palpable. They were ready to make their voices heard and shape the future of their island home. Simmons recruited 10-15 individuals for every one person drawn to the PLP, showcasing the growing momentum behind the call for change.
This surge of youth engagement is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing and the transformative potential of civic participation. When Bermuda stood at a crossroads, these young leaders stepped up, determined to be the catalysts for a new era of independence and self-governance.
