The 2024 election is just over a week away ...
and, celebrities in Atlanta are telling people to get out and vote -- even going door to door to get their message across. A number of big names took to the streets of ATL yesterday to convince voters in gererally disenfranchised communities to perform their civic duty for this election ..
. with stars like Killer Mike leading the charge. Check out the pics of Mike chatting with one local man in the neighborhood .
.. while rap legend Jadakiss sat down for a pic with a huge group alongside Beanie Sigel .
The event -- cosponsored by Mobilize Justice and ONE Music Festival -- began with community canvassing ...
with the orgs. hoping face-to-face interaction may increase the number of people who vote in historically disenfranchised communities. The group then moved to an indoor event venue .
.. where a number of the stars, local activists and politicians spoke about the importance of casting a ballot on November 5.
Former NFL QB Michael Vick , Icewear Vezzo , Nipsey Hussle 's brother Blacc Sam , Benny the Butcher , LaToya Tonodeo , Naturi Naughton , Angie Martinez and more spoke to the assembled crowd. Georgia -- a state which has historically leaned conservative -- was actually won by Democrats in 2020 by a slim margin ..
. so, both parties are trying to appeal more to voters in the state which is now seemingly a tossup. Looks like these celebs want to encourage Georgians -- especially those in the Black community -- to head for the voting booths!.
