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.
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?
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.
Thanks for all you do.
–Mona, Amy, Erica, Arvin, and the rest of the team
