When We All Vote will host the Ramp Up The Vote Rally to ensure every American makes their voice heard at the ballot box
(Washington, DC): On Thursday, August 25th at 8 p.m. ET, When We All Vote will host the Ramp Up The Vote Rally featuring Co-Chair Megan Rapinoe, Jay Ellis and other special guests in partnership with The Leadership Conference Education Fund.

This year, Americans will elect all 435 members of the House of Representatives, 35 out of 100 senators and countless elected officials in local and state governments. While Election Day isn't until November 8th, voters must start now to prepare themselves and their communities to use their voices and get out to the ballot box. During the rally, When We All Vote will call on all attendees to check their voter registration status, reach out to three friends to do the same and host voter registration events across the country in September.

ABOUT When We All Vote:
When We All Vote, an initiative of Civic Nation, is a leading national, nonpartisan initiative on a mission to change the culture around voting and to increase participation in each and every election by helping to close the race and age gap. Created by Michelle Obama, When We All Vote brings together individuals, institutions, brands, and organizations to register new voters across the country and advance civic education for the entire family and voters of every age to build an informed and engaged electorate for today and generations to come. We empower our supporters and volunteers to take action through voting, advocating for their rights, and holding their elected officials accountable.
In 2020, When We All Vote ran a robust, multifaceted campaign and reached more than 100 million people to educate them about the voting process and get them registered and ready to vote. The initiative also led in voter education, registration, and volunteer engagement and as a result, 512,000 people started or completed the voter registration process, and nearly 500 media, corporate, and nonprofit partners joined its efforts.
Michelle Obama launched When We All Vote in 2018 and is joined by fellow Co-Chairs Stephen Curry, Becky G, Selena Gomez, Tom Hanks, H.E.R., Liza Koshy, Jennifer Lopez, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Janelle Monae, Chris Paul, Megan Rapinoe, Shonda Rhimes, Bretman Rock, Kerry Washington and Rita Wilson.
When We All Vote is a key initiative within Civic Nation, a 501(c)(3) organization, and works with Civic Nation Action, a 501(c)(4). These organizations are homes for changemakers who inspire, educate, and activate people around the issues that will define this generation.
