UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS
To voice your opinion, you can now upload short videos to a specially designed Dropbox.
Here are a few guidelines:
# Use portrait format from your phone
# Keep the video under 15 seconds
#Start with “Hi, I am NAME from COUNTRY/CITY”, then say how you feel about the Ironman decision and end with “Sign the petition”.
