Are you ready to vote? Global Citizen is coming to help.
Starting Monday, we’ll be traveling to three US cities to host block parties to help voters get to the polls and celebrate our amazing democracy.
Global Citizen is all about action — and this election season, there’s no action more important than casting a vote.
We’ll be in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 24 and 25; Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 28, and Orlando, Florida, on Nov. 3.
We’re bringing a host of amazing musicians, including Wale, Vic Mensa, Ani DiFranco, Talib Kweli, Justine Skye, Madame Gandhi, and many more, and free food. There may or may not be taco trucks but we’ll definitely be guac-ing the vote.
And then we'll all go vote — together.
“As we have seen around the world, non-participation in the electoral process represents a serious threat to the notion of citizenship at home and abroad," said Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen. "Global Citizen is excited to get out and mobilize young people in key states to use their voice,”
“I’m excited to be performing in Orlando for #ShowUpVote," said DiFranco. “I’ve been traveling the country on my VOTE DAMMIT tour and it’s been inspiring to see so many people energized about the idea of participating in the electoral process and breathing new life into our democracy. I hope that this event will help further galvanize young voters in the crucial state of Florida to participate in this and every election."
