Headcount<\/a> and Fort Williams Artist Management <\/a>have teamed up to present Vote Ready, a free online Concert for Voter Registration, taking place on Friday, August 14th at 7pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online event features The War On Drugs, Robin Pecknold, Daniel Rossen (of Grizzly Bear), Christopher Bear (of Grizzly Bear\/Fools), Kyp Malone (of TV On The Radio), Jaleel Bunton (of TV On The Radio), Kevin Morby, Waxahatchee, Tarriona Tank Ball, Hand Habits, Ciggy, Kam Franklin (of The Suffers), The Building, and Allison Russell & Leyla McCalla (of Our Native Daughters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Headcount<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leading up to the event, fans who check their voter registration status via HeadCount.org\/VoteReady<\/a> will receive a free eTicket to the stream. Anyone not currently registered will then easily be able to register to vote through an online form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headcount <\/a>believes that voter registration is critical, especially this year with the deadlines for registration coming up fast. ” Vote Ready” is unique as the first online music event dedicated to raising awareness for voting registration guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Headcount have announced a multi-year partnership with the International advocacy organization, Global Citizen<\/a>, to further engage young Americans to check their status, register, and vote. Their partnership aims to mobilize support from artists along with entertainers, media, corporations, and nonprofit organizations, to give young Americans the tools to use their voice in the November 3, 2020 election and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headcount have been promoting democracy via music, culture and digital media. Since 2004, the organization has recruited nearly 700,000 new voters while working with a long list of musicians including Ariana Grande, Jay-Z and Dave Matthews Band. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the organization was quick to switch their recruiting efforts to online. Headcount remains to be one of the most active grassroots organizations in the Country and continues to keep pushing their efforts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
