The letter-writing party aimed to educate at-risk voters in key states on Voter ID laws and deadlines in this unprecedented election cycle.
Artists from several hit Broadway musicals came together for a virtual letter-writing party featuring entertainment and engaging conversation with several hundred volunteers - all to promote voter education and engagement ahead of the general election this November. The party, which was hosted by VoteRiders, aimed to raise awareness around the complexities of voter ID laws, specifically targeting at-risk voters in Florida and Wisconsin. Previous events hosted by VoteRiders in August and September saw the completion of nearly 40,000 letters that were sent directly to voters in key states.
