Former President Barack Obama said while urging people to vote for Joe Biden at the virtual Pull Up & Vote Party voting initiative Tuesday he found it "inspiring" that young Americans were organizing and "fighting for change."
The big picture: "We can come out of this moment stronger than before," Obama said. "In times as polarized as these, your vote doesn’t just matter, it matters more than ever before. .. "Let's go win this thing." The event, hosted by activist Tamika Mallory and featuring a host of celebrities, was designed to encourage engagement and voter turnout in November's election.
Complex: Pull Up & VoteOne of the most inspiring things about this year has been seeing so many young people organizing, marching, and fighting for change. Your generation can be the one that creates a more just, more fair America, where the system treats everybody equally and gives everybody opportunity. I know there’s plenty out there to make people feel cynical. And plenty of people are going to seize on that to try to convince you that your vote doesn’t matter. Don’t let them. Because your vote matters more than ever before. And to change the game on any of the issues we care about, we've got to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
