With the memory of the 2016 election, Hollywood activists and organizers are all-hands on deck as Nov. 3 approaches: 'There's no 'too late' this year'

And it didn’t stop there — a virtual Biden campaign concert on Oct. 25 featured John Legend, Sara Bareilles, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Bon Jovi, P!nk, and Ben Platt; Eva Longoria, Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan hosted"" on Oct. 26, focused on celebrating Latinx culture and getting out the vote. Cher and Hillary Clinton set a virtual “sipping tea” conversation on Oct. 29, supporting over 50 House Democratic candidates, and Oprah hosted four virtual swing state town halls from Oct.

“We actually talked to the campaign when we first brought them the idea and we were like 'Is doing this on October 24 too late?,’” says Ben Blacker, a writer who co-produced theevent. “They said no, there is no ‘too late’ this year. We need to constantly be telling people that this election matters more than any election in your lifetime, and in many lifetimes.

“We all went through the 2016 election where it seemed like we had an open and shut case, and it was far from it," saysdirector David Wain. “And there's this other obvious insane situation where we feel like if Biden wins, but not by much, then we're opening ourselves up for some kind of bizarre misinformation civil war. The safest, best scenario would be that he wins by a lot, which is crazy to say.

And much of the last-minute push is backed by plenty of planning; America Ferrera, who co-hosted broadcast special"" with Kerry Washington and Alicia Keys on Oct. 29, says she and many other activists have spent the last four years organizing and building relationships with experts on the ground to deliver a Democratic win in 2020.
