FREEDOM ADVANCES

Freedom Advances... when we all rise up & VOTE!

Leading up to our national election, Nolan curated FREEDOM ADVANCES, a multi-faceted media campaign purposed to encourage full voter participation this election cycle. Campaign assets included his award-winning civic anthem, “Rise Up & Fight;” celebrity bumpers featuring luminaries like Debbie Allen, Norm Lewis, Carla Hall, and more; 30- to 60-second PSAs; and Rise Up Song Challenge videos created by local artists nationwide to mobilize voters to make their voices heard at the polls. The campaign reached millions and has subsequently earned multiple honors.
