Hollywood tries again, mid-way in the field – People

"Go vote". Everyone in the world of entertainment is mobilized in chorus to urge Americans to vote and is primarily aimed at young people, historically distant from mid-term elections. The list is long: Oprah Winfrey to Taylor Swift, Will Ferrell to Pharrell Williams, Jane Fonda to Judd Apatow, Jessica Alba to Natalie Portman, to name the main ones, all engaged in an election that appears to be in effect a referendum on President Trump two years after his election. Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio They have posted together a video explaining why it's so important for the future, breaking with the filming of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's new film.

The stars moved on the field, as they had already done for the elections, mainly cheering Hillary Clinton and receiving the then newly elected Trump's irony, not only through posts on their profiles in social media, but also by staging their own old style methods, such as door to door. In particular, Oprah Winfrey and actor Will Ferrell knocked on the door of some Georgian voters to encourage them to vote for Stacey Abrams, the first woman and African American candidate to be governor of Beach State. On November 5, on the eve of voting operations, he participated in "Telethon for America", organized by comedian Ben Glieb and also supported by former First Lady Michelle Obama.
The initiative involves more than 50 Hollywood stars, who in the first person will speak to voters, urging them to go to the polls. Celebrities will focus primarily on the 18-29 age group, according to a poll Reuters / Ipson, only 25% will vote, the lowest percentage in each age group. Eva Longoria, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Saldana, America Ferrera and Gina Rodriguez, who shouted "Yes, if you can" – the Spanish slogan of the Obama campaign – have invaded Miami streets.
"Pushing people to vote – said Longoria – is one of the most important things we can do as citizens, that is our job". But Hollywood did not consider his expenses and has so far paid more than $ 42 million in donations to candidates.. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a non-profit organization that monitors the effects of money and puts pressure on elections, over 80% of donations went to Democratsi.
