Dear MoveOn member,
What do Alicia Keys, Jaime King, Rahna Epting, you, and I all have in
common?
No, it's not our amazing singing voices.
We're all doing everything we can to get friends and family out to vote by
November 8 to protect our freedoms and our democracy. And that even
includes some unconventional get-out-the-vote tactics ...
"Nail the Vote" is a campaign to engage young voters and newer voters
through art and culture—and Alicia, Jaime, Rahna, I, and so many others
have used pro-voting nail decorations to grab attention and spread the
word to those who may not be following political news. And you have one
last chance to join.

yourself or a friend to promote voting on or before November 8.

The reasons this election is important are clear: Republicans want to take
us backward by attacking our rights and investing in the ultra-wealthy and
corporations. Democrats have delivered for our communities by forgiving
student loans, combatting climate change, and providing pandemic
relief. And from protecting abortion rights to taking on corporate power,
the difference between what a Democratic and Republican Congress will do
couldn't be starker.
You may think everyone you know has a plan to vote, but you'd be
surprised: People forget, something comes up, or the day gets away from
them. Pollsters regularly find that far more voters say they plan to vote
than actually turn out.^1 People need reminders, and seeing their friends
and family engaged in voting helps them feel a part of a community and
that, together, our votes are power.
The Nail the Vote campaign is specifically designed to engage younger
people who are deciding between voting Democrat or not voting at all.
Think about the young people in your life—would they be inspired by your
joining a fashion trend reported by Teen Vogue?^2 Would they wear the
wraps themselves to motivate their network to vote too?

voting-themed nail wraps, or get them a set of their own!
With equal parts style and substance, Nail the Vote is meant to catalyze
an important message about voting, to help encourage a younger demographic
to come to the polls this year. By leading with art- and culture-makers,
MoveOn is looking to engage people who might not respond to a typical
political post.
MoveOn ran a similar Nail the Vote campaign in the run-up to the 2020
election to great success, and our hope is to make an even bigger splash
this year by encouraging hundreds of thousands of young people, people of
color, and folks who have not been closely paying attention to the midterm
elections to get out and vote.
[ [link removed] ]Let's Nail the Vote together and work to ensure everyone we know votes
Democrat by November 8. Buy a set of voting nail wraps for yourself or a
young person in your life today.
Thanks for all you do.
