ATLANTA, Georgia (CelebrityAccess) — Live For Live Music and voter advocacy organization HeadCount are teaming up for Georgia Comes Alive, a one-day virtual music festival to promote voter participation in the upcoming runoff for Georgia’s two senate seats.
Music fans are encouraged to visit GeorgiaComesAlive.com and donate to the support local non-partisan grassroots organizations like Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda and CivicGeorgia. Those who make a donation of any size in advance will receive an email with a link to the stream on the day of the show.
The virtual event, powered by Nugs.net and Plus1, is the latest from the team behind Democracy Comes Alive, Quarantine Comes Alive and Justice Comes Alive, which collectively raised close to $300,000 for various charitable causes and garnered nearly two million views.
Hosted by SiriusXM’s Ari Fink, the event will also provide viewers with opportunities to donate any amount to receive a link to the stream on the day of the show.
Georgia Comes Alive is produced by Kunj Shah (founder, Live For Live Music), Don Strasburg (president, AEG Rocky Mountains) and Paul Peck (president, Fandiem; co-founder Okeechobee Music Festival, formerly Bonnaroo) in partnership with HeadCount.
Committed to promoting involvement in democracy, HeadCount seeks to leverage the power of music to register voters, especially young voters.
