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 top honors.
