Meghan & Harry: A history of advocacy
Meghan and Harry are no strangers to the political arena. Their advocacy for voting isn't a one-off event but a continuation of their efforts to underline the importance of civic participation. Recall their 2020 appearance during an ABC broadcast special for the 'TIME100,' where they made a compelling case for voter registration. Meghan's historic vote in the 2020 U.S. presidential election marked her as the first member of the modern royal family to participate in such a democratic process, setting a precedent and perhaps, a new tradition.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex understand the weight of their influence and are using it to champion the cause of democracy. "Your voice is a reminder that you matter, because you do, and you deserve to be heard," Meghan emphasized in a previous statement. This sentiment is at the heart of their current campaign, seeking to empower and inform every eligible voter.
Joining forces with the stars
Meghan's activism isn't a solo mission. Alongside icons like Gloria Steinem, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, she's part of a formidable force of influential women advocating for participation at the polls. Their collective efforts underscore the importance of representation and the impact of every single vote.
As the election day looms, the Archewell Foundation's message is clear: "Together, let’s make sure every eligible voter is informed and empowered to participate in shaping America’s future." With the Sussexes leading the charge, this call to action might just be the push Americans need to make their mark on democracy.
