When We All Vote Released a Spotify Playlist Created by Co-Chairs in Celebration of this Event
(Washington, DC) Today, Monday, April 20 at 7:15 p.m. ET, When We All Vote Co-Chair Michelle Obama will kick off When We All Vote’s #CouchParty 2.0 during a national call to action live streamed on When We All Vote’s website with thousands of volunteers, partners and supporters. She will be joined on the call by When We All Vote Co-Chairs Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Board Chair Valerie Jarrett and President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights Vanita Gupta.
Following the call with Michelle Obama, When We All Vote will host its #CouchParty 2.0, which will include DJ D-Nice’s Club Quarantine live stream. Some When We All Vote volunteers and partner organizations will host their own couch parties in conjunction with When We All Vote’s, and reach out directly to their friends, families and communities during their virtual events. When We All Vote Ambassadors Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Alyssa Milano, Kelly McCreary and Erica Campbell will drop into these partner couch parties to thank and encourage volunteers.
During the couch parties, volunteers will help friends, family and voters across the country get registered and learn more about safe and accessible ways to cast their ballot in the upcoming elections, including expanded voting-by-mail and early in-person voting, a part of When We All Vote’s three voting principles announced earlier this week.
All When We All Vote Co-Chairs, including Tracee Ellis Ross and Lin Manuel Miranda who joined the first #CouchParty, created a Spotify playlist in celebration of this event.
