Every Vote Counts will honor, and celebrate the power of voting through music, dance and dialogue. Artists, musicians, performers, and community leaders will come together for a nonpartisan celebration of American democracy, with the goal of uplifting the power of civic action and celebrating the precious value of every citizen’s right to vote.
Alicia Keys remarked, “The purpose for this special is to remind and inspire all Americans of the power of their voice and their vote. It’s a challenging time but we have the opportunity to continue to show up and shape the world we want to live in. In a democracy, every vote counts, so we want to encourage and uplift each other and remember we all have a say in the direction of our country because everyone’s participation matters. Also, for many young people across the country, this is their first time voting so we want to make sure they understand the magnitude of this time and learn why this is one of the most exciting moments in the Democratic process.”
Every Vote Counts is a nonpartisan civic engagement event and is not a fundraiser. For tune-in information and to pledge to vote, visit globalcitizen.org/everyvote.
