Chris Evans Wants To Know: What's Inspiring You To Vote This Year?




Today (October 24) is Vote Early Day, and MTV's been celebrating with the Vote For Your Life Stream digital event, encouraging folks to get out there and cast their ballots. It's a commemoration loaded with music performances and an onslaught of celeb appearances — and no civic duty-themed broadcast could be complete without Captain America himself, Chris Evans.


He joined a video chat with students from the civic engagement program A Beginning Point (ASP), run by means of the democracy-engaging agency Close Up, to ask a key question to young people who are getting the vote out for the very first time in 2020: "What's the distribute that inspired you guys to vote this year?"







The answers, naturally, were wide-ranging, spanning racial equity, gender equality, climate justice, health care, and more. The young first-time voters also discussed candidly about being able to diligently identify which news sources are legitimate and which seem set up to stoke the flames of outrage and fear-mongering.


Evans listened, learned, and expressed gratitude to the young folks for sharing their perspectives. Soon considering that, he's been calling people's attention to voting for years — perhaps most notably last month in a viral tweet that encouraged each person to cast their ballot.


"Every time I speak with you guys, I feel so inspired," he instructed them students. "It really does bring me a sense of confidence knowing that there's this much focus and motivation coming from the next generation."
