'Music has a unique ability to bring people together, create shared experiences, and remind us of our collective purpose as citizens in a democracy.'

"By placing musicians at polling locations across the country on Election Day, we aim to make voting a celebration of democracy, encouraging more people to participate in the electoral process.

"Our journey began in 2020, during a time of significant political and social challenges. Despite the uncertainty, we successfully mobilized 1,500 musicians to perform at 700 polling locations nationwide, creating a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere for voters. The overwhelmingly positive response from both musicians and voters demonstrated the powerful impact that music can have on the democratic process." - Play for the Vote
