We are a non-partisan organization that mobilizes musical performances at polling locations in order to provide a more positive voting experience and foster a sense of community.
In the 2020 General Election, we rallied 1,500 musicians across 48 states. In coming years, we are aiming to play for the vote at 5,000 polling locations, reaching every state, with an emphasis on swing states.
