Dear John:

Today marks 60 days until Election Day, and it’s clear that PFLAGers everywhere are passionate about voting in support of their LGBTQ+ loved ones. We’ve taken that passion and, working with filmmaker Nick Oceano, have created a stirring new film: PFLAG VOTES.

Watch the full video now!

No question: Voting in 2020 is complex, and we can’t wait until Election Day to make a plan to do it. PFLAG VOTES and its accompanying mini-videos—which we will release on all of our social media channels in the weeks to come, and will delve more deeply into the stories of each family—feature PFLAG families from communities across the country, representing a diverse spectrum of voters. Participants share their motivation to vote, their plan to vote, and urge viewers to join them in making a plan, too. 

Paired with PFLAG VOTES is a social media activation using the hashtag #2020VotePlan. Users follow steps to making their own plan at PFLAG.org/2020VotePlan, and like the video suggests, share their plan and “I’m voting because” motivation on their own social media channels. PFLAGers have been taking and sharing the #2020VotePlan challenge to make their plan to vote. 

When we asked Nick, who previously directed the short film, LAS FAMILIAS DE PFLAG EN ESPAÑOL for us, to take this project on, he jumped on the opportunity, saying, 

“This is the most important election of our lifetime. So much is at stake. Lives are literally on the line if we don’t vote this year. As a queer Latinx man, it is my privilege to get to work on the PFLAG Votes campaign, and my hope that it inspires others to do all they can to make a plan to vote: by mail, early vote, or on November 3rd.”

We hope PFLAG VOTES moves you to make a plan to vote and ask others to do the same. We also hope you’ll share the film from one of our social media platforms:

So share the video, make your plan, and invite others to do the same--with PFLAG VOTES!

Thank you,

Brian K. Bond, Executive Director
