‘Go vote’: deze opvallende foto’s gebruikten celebs om stemmen aan te moedigen

De Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen zijn al een tijd lang hot topic. Op Instagram vlogen de 'go vote' berichten ons om de oren. De één moedigde zijn of haar volgers aan met een bikinifoto terwijl de ander koos voor een speciale vote-dress. Wij zetten de meest opvallende posts voor je op een rij:

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner was er op tijd bij. De realityster zette het internet op z'n kop door met een bikini pic mensen aan te moedigen om te stemmen. Met succes. Al gauw volgden andere celebs met hun pikante VOTE-foto's op Instagram.

Lizzo

Lizzo is Lizzo, en dat wil zeggen, niets is haar te gek. Zo verscheen ze vrijwel naakt met een Amerikaanse vlag op Instagram. Met een flinke lap tekst moedigt Lizzo haar Amerikaanse volgers aan om te stemmen. We moeten toegeven: het is een geweldige foto.

When I think of this country I don’t think of its laws I think of its people. I think about how we were raised to be patriotic of violence, propaganda & war. I think about how this country is owned by the oppressor and how the oppressed are locked in a valley of capitalism. But I also think of the young people who refuse to be spoon fed mistruths. I think of the elders who bucked against hateful prejudices even when it felt impossible…. Because of you, I’m still hopeful. I believe in a country that teaches the true history so we can better understand where we live and how we can do better. I believe in a country that listens to the cries of the protester and doesn’t politicize death. I believe in restoration of this beautiful land and respecting the communities of people who owned America before colonizers renamed it. I believe in fairness, equality, a complete removal of religion in places where it does not belong. Let religion live in the churches and places of worship… the quiet prayer rooms, the joyful congregations.. and out of Congress. I believe in so much, and if I believe it one day I can see it. It may not be tomorrow it may not be today, but it will be one day if we stay activated. We the people, ALL the people, deserve it. Today’s the last day to vote. Stay in line, stay determined and thank YOU for voting.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera pakte het anders aan. De zangeres verscheen wél met kleren op Instagram en besloot zich in een heuse vote dress te hijsen. Op deze roze jurk zien we de tekst: 'F* this I'm going to vote.'

V👏🏼O👏🏼T👏🏼E👏🏼⁣ ⁣Now is a crucial time! Each one of us is held responsible for making a step toward change and using our voices. We’ve knocked down walls throughout history to be able to use our power and the time to use it is NOW! ⁣ ⁣ I think about my children and the world I want to see them grow up in. A world filled with love, tolerance, acceptance, and respect. This year has shattered my heart in so many ways. I’ve been horrified by the behavior we’ve been seeing — behavior that I wouldn’t even expect from my 6 year old. ⁣ ⁣ But I am still hopeful that we can unite and push for positive and peaceful change FOR HUMANITY. Let's create a better & more united future for us all! You can’t rely on someone else to do it. You have the power. You can make the change. ⁣ ⁣ ➡️ Swipe for voting resources.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga verscheen in een video op haar Instagram met giga felroze, torenhoge laarzen. De diva stapt uit een auto om vervolgens in haar over de top look te stemmen. “Those boots are made for voting”, reageert een volger op Instagram. Love it.

Kanye West

Uiteraard kan Kanye West in dit rijtje niet ontbreken. De rapper – die zichzelf dit jaar verkiesbaar stelde – besloot ook naar de stembus te gaan. “Today I voted for the first time in my life for the President of the United States“, begint Kanye. En – hoe kan het ook anders – eindigt hij zijn bericht met: “And it's for someone I truly trust… Me.”
