AceShowbiz - Rock the Vote has teamed up with some popular faces to encourage people to vote in this year's mid-term elections. On Tuesday, October 7, the organization released a video starring Lena Dunham and Ireland Baldwin among others for the campaign. The 3-minute clip, which features Lil Jon's "Turn Down for What", is called "Turn Out for What" and also stars the musician.
The star-studded clip also features appearances from "Glee" star Darren Criss, Sophia Bush, Fred Armisen, "Orange Is the New Black" star Natasha Lyonne, celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, Devendra Banhart, Ionna Gika, E.J. Johnson and Gabriel Valenciano. It starts with Jon having a phone conversation with Whoopi Goldberg as he heads to the voting booth.
In the clip, the celebrities explain issues which become the center of attention such as global warming, prison reform and legalization of marijuana. In the end of the video, Armisen shows up on screen and says he's turning out because "I wanna impress my friends. That's the only reason that I ever do anything."
"We hope that the video will connect the dots between caring about an issue and turning out to make a difference - even in a year where the president isn't on the ballot," Rock The Vote Spokesperson Audrey Gelman said in a statement to Buzzfeed.
