This week I talked with activist Reverend Irene Monroe about appearing in our issue driven non-partisan VOTE PSA Campaign we’ve launched on social media & beyond to get the VOTE OUT. As early voting has begun in states across the country OUTTAKE MEDIA™ has spearheaded this timely & compelling VOTE PSA Campaign to bring our LGBTQ community & marginalized grassroots groups together about the importance of voting. Not only will this campaign get people to vote it will also address our issues. Whether you’re Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Jewish, Indigenous or LGBTQ we need to come together now or possibly lose our rights. In our VOTE PSA Rev. Monroe addresses these issues including women’s rights & the rise of hate crimes as we head into a presidential election questioning our Democracy. The campaign is directed by C. Fitz (Queen Sugar, One Perfect Shot), West Coast producer Lissa Forehan (More Beautiful for Having Been Broken) & performing the closing tagline song “Vote For A Working America” is Broadway/Cabaret Diva Ann Hampton Callaway. Produced in the historic Calderwood Studio at WGBH in Boston I want to thank our GBH team including Terry Quinn Director of Studio Operations, Phil Reilly Set design & Lighting Director, Howard Powell Cinematographer, Beth Godlin Lillis Post Production Manager, Editor Deb Holland & Juan José Cadena Duenas Studio Operations Manager. This is a full circle experience for me since I began my career decades ago at WGBH as assistant to Paula Apsell, Senior Executive Producer Emerita NOVA at GBH. I talked to Rev. Irene Monroe about the significance of this VOTE PSA Campaign & her spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN
