PLEDGE to vote.

Founded by music industry veterans Kyle Frenette and Chris Moon, Pledge 46 began as 46 For 46, an ambitious and proudly partisan project designed to stage 46 concerts in 46 cities to help elect the 46^th president. The COVID pandemic forced a pivot to a more virtual approach represented by the new Pledge 46 online sweepstakes. The response from artists has been nothing less than remarkable, with each offering rare and exclusive prizes while also using their own unique platforms to support the campaign. Among the prizes available through the Pledge 46 online sweepstakes are a virtual guitar lesson with Jason Isbell, an all-expenses-paid trip to see Bon Iver live in Sydney, Australia, a signed test pressing of My Morning Jacket’s latest album, a special vinyl package from The Head And The Heart, and much more.

 

Fans enter each unique sweepstakes by simply pledging to vote. Once that pledge is made, they are prompted to register or check their registration in their state, look up their polling place location, or preview a sample ballot for their voting district. From there, fans are encouraged to perform additional political actions to increase the Biden-Harris ticket’s chances of winning, from donating to canvassing to volunteering.

Since launching its first campaign in July, Pledge 46 has seen more than 14,000 music fans pledge to vote. In addition, Pledge 46 has raised $28,000 through its PAC with 750 fans signing up to volunteer with Swing Left.
