The election season is upon us. Did you know that all federally elected United States House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate will be on the ballot? Many states have already conducted their primary elections and others are coming up. As we approach the nationwide General Election culminating on November 8, 2022, we invite you to become an ArtsVote champion by ensuring that you cast your vote as early as possible and encourage others to make THEIR vote count too!
Take the ArtsVote Pledge at www.ArtsActionFund.org/Pledge
“As an arts advocate, I pledge to make my vote count by joining the ArtsVote movement to take action as EARLY as possible and encourage artists and arts advocates across the country to do the same in their states. Voter suppression threatens everyone's Constitutional rights and that is why I commit to learning the voting rules in my state by using the easy four-step process outlined in the ArtsVote State Voter Factsheets.”
Download Your ArtsVote State Voter Factsheet
Be sure to download our updated 2022 ArtsVote State Voter Factsheets, available for all 50 states and 6 U.S. territories, to help you learn all the recently changed election rules and deadlines for your state. From ‘no-excuse’ absentee ballots to early voting, the Arts Action Fund and our participating state arts advocacy organizations will be pushing artists and arts advocates to complete our easy four-step voting process as early as possible to ensure your vote is counted.
Showcase ArtsVote Artwork by Shepard Fairey
After you take the pledge, you'll be given exclusive access to high-resolution digital images of Shepard Fairey's ArtsVote artwork designed specifically for the Arts Action Fund. Available in English and Spanish, as well as a range of shapes and sizes for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Zoom, these images can be posted to your social media platforms.
