In less than two weeks, our nation will take a historic vote that will determine our destiny. Your voice and your vote matter now, more than ever. During this pivotal moment in time, NEXT is joining forces with some of Atlanta’s leading creatives  – including writers, musicians, and visual artists — to celebrate our right to vote and our responsibility to make our voices heard by casting an early ballot, or going to the polls on Election Day.

You’ll hear from poet, author and storyteller Jon Goode, theater actress Isa Miles, playwright and author Michael Molina, singer, songwriter Brenda Nicol Moorer, and author and sculptor Michael C. Robinson.

We hope the powerful words, stories and images of these artists will empower and energize you in the days ahead to make your voice heard in this election. We also hope you’ll be inspired to share their messages with your friends and family — and encourage them to do the same.

As part of our We Got NEXT! Vote 2020 initiative, we’ve also partnered with local civic organization, BTheNow, to support their digital campaign to equip voters with the information they need to ensure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.
