"The excitement about this tour is fantastic, " adds Ellen Malcom of ACT, which serves at the Vote for Change tour beneficiary. "This is really going to help give us the resources to talk to millions of voters. The artists have an ability to talk about the issues with groups of voters who don't often listen to politicians. I think many swing voters are going to start paying attention in a different way because artists are speaking out," Malcom adds.

Background 

Vote For Change Tour
Conceived by a loose coalition of musicians four months ago, Vote for Change is a multi-city, multi-artist tour that will include approximately 38 shows in 32 cities in 12 states over the course of 12 days. Vote for Change artists hope to accomplish a single goal through the tour: to get people to the polls on November 2nd to vote for a change. The Vote for Change tour will be presented by MoveOn PAC, with all concert proceeds benefiting the work of America Coming Together (ACT). 

The Vote for Change tour came about as part of an informal conversation among a handful of artists on how they could make a difference in this year's elections and beyond. This idea has resulted in a first-of-its-kind endeavor where Vote for Change participating artists will focus their energies on the states where the elections are expected to be the closest. All Vote for Change artists are donating their time and talent in support of the tour.
