Last night during the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, IWillVote.com was on full display with a first-of-its-kind feature<\/a> throughout the event to urge attendees and viewers to make a plan to vote in the November election. IWillVote.com directs voters to the DNC\u2019s up-to-date national coverage of polling places and voter education information all in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the election just a few weeks away, Democrats are meeting Black voters where they are with the information they need to make sure they know when, where, and how to vote,\u201d said Brencia Berry, DNC National Political Director.<\/strong> \u201cWe know so much is on the line for Black voters this November and we have the power to decide this election. The \u2018I Will Vote\u2019 activation at BET\u2019s Hip Hop Awards is just one way Democrats are getting information to Black voters, delivered by trusted messengers through creative tactics, to break through the noise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over 40 years, BET has been a staple in Black households, connecting the Black community through an ecosystem of interconnected platforms across TV, streaming, digital, studios, and live events. The DNC feature during the BET Hip Hop Awards is the first time IWillVote.com has appeared on the network in this capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DNC\u2019s IWillVote.com was featured throughout the entire program for both attendees in person and viewers at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees at the award show were able to access an I Will Vote lounge<\/a> ahead of the show, where they could take pictures in front of a step and repeat to record messages about why voting is important to them and chat with BET red carpet hosts Gia Peppers and Dr. Ray Cunningham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers at home saw IWillVote.com weaved throughout the two hour program, with QR Codes featured on the bottom of the screen and celebrities like host Fat Joe plugging<\/a> the importance of voting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Later in the show, Rep. Steven Horsford<\/a>, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, spoke to viewers about the importance of \u201celecting people to office who respect us, and have real ideas to make our lives better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
