Celebrities “I Voted” Selfies From the 2018 Midterm Elections

Many public figures (including celebrities) have mobilized in recent weeks to remind people how voting can affect change. And in addition to talking the talk, they are walking the walk. Proof? All of these beautiful post-voting selfies, complete with “I voted” stickers, of course.

I voted early. It was honestly so much fun. So poignant. I went skipping down the street singing afterward. No joke! • Today is your day. Our day. Make it count. • If you have questions, or are turned away (DO NOT LEAVE!!) call: English: 866-OUR-VOTE Spanish: 888-VE-Y-VOTA Arabic: 844-YALLA-US Asian/Pacific Languages: 888-API-VOTE American Sign Language: 301-818-VOTE • If you need to know where your polling place is? Text WHERE to 97779 to find out! • @cleowade reminded me that: the destiny of this country is not determined by our thoughts and prayers, but our actions and deeds. Vote Because “Faith without works is dead.” Vote Because The arc of the universe is long and WE must bend it toward justice. Vote Because The opposite of justice is not injustice, it is inaction, indifference and apathy. Vote Because “if there is no struggle there is no progress.” Vote Because there can be no harvest of blessings without tilling the soil, planting the seeds and doing the work. #Vote #GOTV #WhenWeAllVote #IAmAVoter
