Bob The Drag Queen & Peppermint

Bob and Peppermint team with Wanda Sykes to help voter turnout in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. The music video, titled The Most Office, pushes back against misinformation campaigns aimed at discouraging voting, and has a rockin beat to boot.

GLAAD

The stars of HBO’s We’re HereShangela, Bob the Drag Queen & Eureka O’Hara—star in this mini-video encouraging queer Americans to get to the polls. The trio lead drag kings and queens from all 50 states in reminding watchers that queer people still face enormous discrimination, and even violence. To defend ourselves, we must vote.

Human Rights Campaign

This quickie video features a cast of models strutting around New York and LA to encourage voters to drop a ballot in the mail or head to the polls. Remember when we could actually leave the house and go strut around town? We can again, if we elect leaders that get COVID-19 under control. In other words, vote.

Billy Porter, Silver State Equality & Equality California

Never one to stay silent, Billy Porter, goes full-on fire & brimstone preacher in this passionate video urging LGBTQ people to vote. To sum it up: the fight for equality isn’t over. We must keep it up to win.

Grindr

We already knew voting was sexy. Leave it to Grindr to make it downright raunchy. Uncross your legs for this one.

Tenacious D

We already featured this rocking video from Tenacious D covering the Rocky Horror standard “Time Warp.” Even better, it features a litany of celebrities—including Elizabeth Warren & Pete Buttigieg—showing off their moves and encouraging voters to jump to the left. We endorse the sentiment.

Center for Cultural Power & Familia

Formerly known as CultureStrike, the Center for Cultural Power & Familia is an artist-run consortium focusing on supporting activism through artistry. Their #VotaJota initiative features transgender and immigrant voices encouraging the Latinx and Trans communities to make their voices heard this fall.

Drag Out the Vote

Leave it to a group of drag queens to cover Rich Hennessey and make it into an inspirational GOTV video. Yas qweens, indeed.

The Shameless Self-Promotion

And we’d be remiss, of course, not to include Q. Digital’s very own GOTV video, featuring some of our favorite friends. Join Tom Lenk, Stephen Guarino, Nelson Lassiter, Ongina, BenDeLaCreme, Ronnie Yoo, Ryan Russel, Scott Evans and more for a little motivation in getting that ballot sent in.
