MVP was given the last word in The Hollywood Reporter’s piece, “Would a Taylor Swift Endorsement Actually Impact the Presidential Race?”

We took the opportunity to underscore the crucial importance of local, relationship-based organizing. Here’s the quote:

“A little Tay can go a long way, but local organizers are still the best voter mobilizers,” says Zo Tobi of Movement Voter Project. “The whole election hinges on a few voters in a few states, and what persuadable voters need most is to hear from people they know, like, and trust in their own community.”

In our response to the reporter’s inquiry, we made sure to work in a few lyrical references sure to catch the attention of discerning Swifties. Unfortunately, they were not included in the finished piece… but here they are, for your enjoyment:

We have to remember: An Election Night win can be legendary, but it’s momentary. Taylor Swift could help Democrats win in November – but year-round, on-the-ground local organizing is how we make sure we are never, ever, ever getting back together with GOP candidates and policies. Like, ever.

None of us want to say “would’ve, could’ve, should’ve” the morning after the election. So whatever Taylor Swift decides, the best thing WE can do is donate to local organizing groups in swing states. Movement Voter Project is a one-stop shop for doing that.
