With less than three months until the 2020 presidential election, it's more important than ever to register to vote (and to encourage everyone you know to do the same). And some of your favorite fashion brands want to help you spread the word. Levi's, Phenomenal Woman, Naturalizer and many more have unveiled special voting-themed campaigns and merchandise to encourage voter registration and turn-out (click here for everything you need to know about the coronavirus and its effect on voting). Check out the selection below to get yourself outfitted for going to the polls on November 3 (and to wear every single day until then).
Levi’s
In an effort to motivate the 70 million young eligible voters in the United States to register and get to the polls on election day, the beloved denim brand launched a powerful PSA featuring a slew of celebrities and activists.
Hailey Baldwin, who first approached the brand with the idea of the PSA, gathered fellow A-listers and activists to star in the video, directed by Oge Egbuonu, set to artist Jazmine Williams’ spoken word poem and featuring photography by Djeneba Aduayom.
13 Reasons Why's Brandon Flynn and Ross Butler, actor Danny Trejo, musicians Jaden Smith and Miguel, star in the clip, along with researcher and educator Dr. Joy DeGruy, professor and civil leader Dr. Melina Abdullah, scholar and author Dr. Safiya Noble, activist Helen Jones, student activist Kahlila Williams, filmmaker Jon M. Chu, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter youth branch Thandiwe Abdullah, attorney and CEO of IMPACT Strategies Angela Rye and ASL interpreter Rorri Burton.
"This election to me is the most important in my lifetime and I’m at the age now where I truly understand the impact my generation and the next has," Baldwin explained in a press release. "My hope with this call to action is that it would encourage, educate and inspire this next generation to vote in November and to understand why it’s important."
In addition to the PSA, the brand is also launching a collection of merch, which features tees and hoodies with the words ″Vote″ and customizable options featuring the phrase ″Don't Just — About It, Vote About It.″
