The last time we were here, Chance The Rapper was chasing down scalpers for tickets to his Magnificent Coloring Book tour. Now, he’s partnering with the NAACP to make sure that the good folks that come out to see the show will be voting in November. This is immense.

Chance wants to make sure you have a say in saving the world from whichever candidate you’re not voting for. He really wants you to #staywokeandvote.

The NAACP’s Youth and College Division will be at the tour stops to help voters register. NAACP president Cornell Brooks gave kudos to Chance for this action, stating, “Chance the Rapper is an artist whose music praises and lifts up our common humanity, and whose call for action speaks to the yearning of this moment. This year, more than it has in a generation, we must use the power of our voices and our votes and exercise our sacred right to vote.”

Chance says that he’s doing this because it is important for young people to turn out for this election. “Voting and becoming knowledgeable about this year’s upcoming presidential election is imperative. With a great deal of help from the NAACP, I have been able to provide this awesome opportunity for people to sign up and make the pledge to vote at a few of my upcoming shows. This is super important to me because I want my fans to know that their voices matter and that their vote counts now more than ever.”

Chance for POTUS 2024?

Proud to announce I’ll be teaming with @NAACP for #magnificentcoloringworldtour to bring Voters Registration to the show #staywokeandvote
