โ€œWeโ€™ve all seen the difference we can make when we choose to cast our ballots. And weโ€™ve all seen the consequences when we donโ€™t bother to show up to the polls,โ€ Obama said.

โ€œThatโ€™s why Iโ€™m hoping to start a conversation all across the country about this most basic American responsibility.โ€

Obama then specifically solicited women of color for their help, because they โ€œknow how to get things done.โ€

โ€œWhen we use our voices, people listen. When we lead, people follow,โ€ Obama, looking energized and very sufficiently hydrated, said. (Seriously, that skin. Will voting give me that level of glow? If so, Iโ€™m voting every day and twice on Sundays.)

Flagship events are scheduled for at least a dozen cities, with many smaller communities events to take place throughout the week where attendants can get registered and ready to vote in the mid-terms and beyond.
