Fuck Talking, Go Vote
The Compton Cowboys are getting out the vote! We’re calling on communities to vote early by mobilizing diverse cowboys and cowgirls across the country in a ride to the ballot boxes before election day. Through a trailer, website, digital and physical posters, and custom bandanas, we’re advertising 866-OUR-VOTE and empowering disenfranchised potential voters to get the information they need, while galvanizing voters through the gritty, powerful, take-no-shit spirit of the cowboy.

Unstoppable Voter Projects Throughout the Country Will Bring Art and Entertainment to Voters and Polling Places; Artists Hope to Inspire Others in Their Own Communities
In this contentious election season, many people are wondering how we can move past division and tension to celebrate democracy and our freedom to vote. Artists, in the business of storytelling and culture-making, are working around the country to turn the focus to honoring and encouraging participation in our democratic process. With this in mind, the Center for Artistic Activism created the Unstoppable Voter Project. We funded 11 of the most ambitious, innovative collaborations between artists and civic organizations seeking to increase voter engagement after receiving more than 100 applications. Artistic events will take place nationwide, with a focus on states where voters are facing barriers to the polls.
