STEVIE URGES YOUNGER GENERATIONS: #SPEAKYOURVOTE

Stevie Wonder is encouraging members of Gen Z and millennials to get to the polls as part of the #SpeakYourVote initiative.

The icon is inviting artists (of all generations) to engage in an #OpenVerseChallenge on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts; using TikTok’s “Duet” feature or the “Remix” function on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, participants can record their own verse about what voting means to them, inspired by Wonder’s call to action.

Civic Wisdom Foundation founder Dr. Shannon Arvizu launched #SpeakYourVote in partnership with creative agency David&Goliath. "A lot of young people today are turned off by divisiveness," she said. "They want to work towards common ground. Stevie Wonder helps us do that by inviting us into his heartfelt track.”

There are 113 million voters in Gen Z and the millennial cohort, nearly half the voting population. The #SpeakYourVote campaign's goal is to inspire young people to vote, with a long-term goal of harnessing the collective voice of these generations to enact positive change.
