Former first lady Michelle Obama and celebrities from music, film and television urged young Georgians to exercise their right to vote on Tuesday night.

Obama was the keynote speaker at the Gateway Center Arena’s When We All Vote Rally, as she joined entertainers and voting rights activists to mobilize first-time voters ahead of the crucial Nov. 5 presidential elections in Georgia. Several thousand people attended the College Park rally Tuesday, hosted by the national and nonpartisan When We All Vote organization, which Obama founded in 2018.
