Dear Actors Fund Friends,

One of the biggest ways you can show your support for not only those in performing arts, but also for yourself, your family, your friends and everyone across the country: vote!

Election Day is less than a week away and numerous states have early voting options that you can take advantage of right now. These include safe, secure ballot dropboxes where you can submit your ballot any time and early voting locations you can visit before Tuesday, November 3. Head to RockTheVote.org to get all the details on your local voting options.

And if you’ve voted already, Stars In The House wants to see your “I Voted!” selfie! Send your voting photos to [email protected] for a chance to be featured on their streaming all-day Vote-a-Thon and on their social media pages.

Your voice—and your vote—matter!
