In a high-energy effort to drive voter turnout in the final days before the 2024 election, legendary Georgia rapper and DJ Lil Jon has teamed up with the Harris-Walz campaign for a targeted push in the battleground state. Starting Saturday, November 2nd, Lil Jon will feature in radio ads airing across Georgia’s six major media markets, urging voters to hit the polls.

Coinciding with the radio campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Atlanta for her second rally in as many weeks, joined by Georgia-born hip-hop stars 2 Chainz and Pastor Troy for a dynamic event designed to engage voters and amplify election stakes.

The Harris-Walz campaign’s Georgia strategy hinges on local voices like Lil Jon. It aims to energize voters statewide and underscore the importance of each vote. With music and political messaging uniting, the campaign hopes to make an impact in Georgia.

The Atlanta will also feature filmmaker Spike Lee, singer-songwriter Victoria Monét, and performances by Big Tigger and Monica.

This weekend, the Harris for President Campaign partners with BET and the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) to launch a dynamic voter engagement effort at Atlanta’s ONE Music Fest. With the general election fast approaching, this activation aims to connect with attendees, offering resources to empower them to make a voting plan while experiencing top-tier performances. The event marks another bold initiative in the Harris campaign’s outreach to Black voters through popular cultural events.

The campaign’s presence at ONE Music Fest includes a branded activation space, a mainstage address by a campaign surrogate, and a range of voter engagement resources. The activation area will feature a photo booth where attendees can capture moments while scanning QR codes directly linking to voter planning tools. In addition, digital push notifications will prompt festival-goers to visit the booth and collect information on voting.

“Vice President Harris has been very clear, we are not taking a single voter for granted,” said DNC National Political Director Brencia Berry. “Which is why we have been consistent and creative in the ways in which we are strategically engaging with Black voters to underscore the stakes of this election for our community. One Music Fest is the perfect setting to make clear that none of us can afford to sit this election out.

“Vice President Harris has not only delivered on the issues we care about most, like job creation and closing the racial wealth gap — but she is also charting a new way forward that includes protecting our healthcare and hard fought for rights. Donald Trump on the other hand couldn’t care less about our community or our culture. “

This engagement builds on the campaign’s presence at other high-profile events, from Essence Fest to the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Such initiatives aim to spark meaningful connections with Black voters nationwide. By combining voter resources with culturally resonant settings, the Harris campaign is making its message clear: voting this election cycle is essential.

As part of its outreach, the campaign has also enlisted influential voices like Quavo, Kerry Washington, and John Legend to support voter awareness. At ONE Music Fest, the campaign will continue to build momentum through artist collaborations, a media tent setup, and ads broadcast across festival stages.

Democratic National Convention Energizes Harris-Walz Campaign with Record Volunteer Engagement

This week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago is more than just a compelling program; it’s a crucial opportunity to harness the growing energy behind the Harris-Walz ticket and turn it into volunteer power in crucial battleground states.

“This week, Vice President Harris’ vision and story will be on full display for millions of American voters in key states. But our campaign isn’t stopping there — in fact, we’re redoubling our efforts to aggressively earn the support of the voters that will decide this election,” said Battleground States Director Dan Kanninen. “On the stage at the Democratic National Convention and on the ground via thousands of organizing trainings, phone banks, and watch parties across the country, this campaign is leveraging the moment to break through and meet voters where they are — exactly the work needed to win a tough and close election this November.”

Team Harris-Walz organized a Weekend of Action to kick off the Convention, hosting over 2,800 events in pivotal states. Over 10,000 volunteers participated, making nearly 900,000 calls and knocking on almost 150,000 doors, resulting in contact with over 1 million voters. This massive mobilization is being sustained throughout the week with daily organizing efforts, including an “All Out Shift Out” competition, where battleground teams compete to recruit the most volunteers. On the first night alone, the campaign secured 24,352 volunteer shifts in battleground states.

On Monday, the campaign launched go.kamalaharris.com, a centralized platform for volunteers to find events, join online communities, and access organizing tools. The site is being promoted throughout the arena and during primetime programming, directing supporters watching from home to text JOIN to 30330 for immediate involvement opportunities.

Tuesday saw statewide and national training sessions, equipping supporters with the skills to organize and mobilize within their communities.

On Wednesday, the campaign will hold its largest phone banking event, with nearly 400 phone banks and 4,000 volunteers making calls across battleground states.

Thursday will feature 500 watch parties across all 50 states, offering supporters a chance to connect and celebrate the Harris-Walz ticket. This gathering provides another opportunity for the campaign to leverage the week’s momentum as they head into the final stretch, aiming to deliver a win for Vice President Harris and Governor Walz.

This week marks the campaign’s most significant mobilization effort yet as Team Harris-Walz prepares to drive home its message in the crucial weeks ahead.

Union leaders from across the nation took center stage tonight at the Democratic National Convention to deliver a powerful message of solidarity: “Kamala Harris is one of us.” The labor movement is throwing its full support behind Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, as they prepare for the 2024 election.

The speakers emphasized Harris’ unwavering commitment to workers’ rights, contrasting her record with that of former President Donald Trump, who they accused of weakening labor protections and prioritizing the wealthy. Union leaders highlighted Harris’ efforts to strengthen the middle class, protect jobs, and ensure fair wages and working conditions.

“Enter Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: Within weeks, they passed the American Rescue Plan, pulling the economy back from the brink and putting us back to work,” said Lee Saunders, President of AFSCME. “They were guided by a basic principle: more freedom for working people – including the freedom to join a union. So this November, we’re moving forward with Kamala Harris as our President.”

April Verrett, President fo SEIU added, “We are all in for Kamala Harris because Kamala Harris has always been all in for us… She shares our vision for a modern-day labor movement, a movement that meets the needs of workers in the 21st century and an economy that is ready for the future.”
