Our
“Why I Vote” campaign gives artists a chance to share personal opinions
on the key issues shaping the 2016 Presidential Election. Along the
way, they encourage young people, a traditionally under-represented
demographic at the polls, to participate in the political process that
impacts us all. Each episode focuses on a particular subject, including
immigration, LGBTQ rights, mass incarceration, and education
opportunities. We’re hoping to galvanize first-time voters interested in
shaping their own future.
Our latest episode of “Why I Vote”
features Kesha offering her own personal stories and opinions on this
issue. She takes us from the childhood hardships of questioning her own
sexuality to the recent privilege she had in officiating the same-sex
weddings of two dear friends. We also see her visiting the Los Angeles
LGBT center in support of safe havens, and actively encouraging voters
to use their power everywhere, but especially in states like North
Carolina, which has recently passed laws discriminating against the LGBT
community. “We as a country do not need to step backwards,” she says.
“We need to protect the groundbreaking laws that have been stepping in
the correct direction.”
Upcoming episodes of “Why I Vote” will
premiere in the next few weeks, and will feature American Authors, John
Legend, Becky G, and Rise Against.
