Co-Chair Michelle Obama To Kick Off When We All Vote’s #CouchParty 2.0 To Help Reach, Educate, Inform And Register Eligible Voters

On Monday, April 20 at 7:15 p.m. ET, Co-Chair Michelle Obama will kick off When We All Vote’s #CouchParty 2.0 during a national call to action with thousands of volunteers, partners and supporters.

Following the call, When We All Vote will host its #CouchParty 2.0 and volunteers and partners  will make it personal by reaching out directly to their friends, families and communities during their own virtual events. During that time volunteers will help participants get registered and learn more about safe and accessible ways to register and cast their ballot in the upcoming elections, including expanded voting-by-mail and early in-person voting, a part of When We All Vote’s three voting principles announced earlier this week.

This will be When We All Vote’s second national virtual event following the highly successful #CouchParty in March with DJ D-Nice where nearly 10,000 volunteers signed up and helped reach more than 400,000 eligible voters. Responding to the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on individuals and communities, When We All Vote is committed to providing innovative and safe ways to help reach voters where they are — at home. 

When We All Vote partners are joining in to mobilize their networks around the day of action. Ten organizations will host their own #CouchParty, and five partner organizations will train 1,000 Voting Squad Captains to lead in their communities in the week leading up to April 20.
