Join Linda Perry & John Legend in Rallying Cry to Increase Voter Turn Out in Midterm Elections

Join Linda Perry & John Legend in helping get out the vote this election day! Every Tuesday until election day, Linda Perry will be blasting out a new jingle and asking artists around the country to join her in singing a song to get their followers excited to head to the polls. Listen to the song via Linda's Twitter here.

Of the project Linda says:

I believe in taking control of your future. Over 90 million people felt their voice didn't matter and wouldn't be heard. So I thought it was important to let people no that their voice DOES matter and Will be heard, no matter what their choice. John Legend and I wanted to write a little song for people to do their own version and post themselves. We wrote this while I was on a plane to NY and John was home in LA.

With celebrities such as: John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Natasha Bedingfield, Angel Haze, Jessica Simpson, Sara Gilbert, Alicia Keys, Linda Perry, Cameron Crowe and more already confirmed to be participating, we're hoping for this to reach nation wide.

Step 1

Thank you for participating! Every post matters and every voice counts. Curate your future!
