On Election Day, Offset hit the streets to get out the vote.
The Migos rapper, who stumped with presidential candidate Joe Biden in Atlanta last week, returned to his neighborhood to pass out food at several polling places.
In partnership with the Lincoln Project – an American political action committee formed in 2019 by Republicans opposed to Donald Trump – the rapper posed for selfies and handed out food from Atlanta’s popular Slutty Vegan and Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks “to celebrate election day.”
However, everything wasn’t peachy in the Peach State.
The Lincoln Project tweeted that Offset was “threatened” by the Gwinnett County government, although the organization didn’t go into detail about the threats.
“This is what voter intimidation and discrimination looks like,” the Lincoln Project wrote.
“Who said voting is not fun?”
That’s what “Law and Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay said as she tossed out cookies to New York City early voters waiting in line last week.
Hargitay, 56, shared a video on Twitter of herself thanking voters outside Madison Square Garden with Milk Bar cookies, all while wearing a star-adorned face mask.
“Happy to be here,” Hargitay can be heard saying to early voters on Oct. 27. “Thank you everybody for voting. Who’s hungry? Who wants a cookie?”
NBC News reporter Gilma Avalos, who also shared Twitter footage of Hargitay, added that “voters have about a 2hr wait. PS I got a blueberry & cream cookie.”
Ava DuVernay spoke at a Black Lives Matter rally in Los Angeles on Election Day, where she encouraged attendees to cast their vote.
“Thank you for holding space for this resistance, for this power, for this voice, for demonstrating who we are, that we can proclaim what we want,” she said, wearing a mask. “That we can exercise rights that are given to us and rights that we take that are not given to us, that we can declare what we want.”
The director, 48, continued, “This moment is not an end all be all. We know this vote, we know this election is not even the half of what is ahead of us and what needs to happen tomorrow and the next day and the next day. But it is a tool, and it is a weapon in our arsenal and we are in a fight. We are in a war.”
Celebrity chef José Andrés and his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, enlisted the help of volunteers spread out across 250 cities in the U.S. including Milwaukee, Fairbanks, Alaska, and Washington, D.C., to serve thousands of free meals from food trucks to voters waiting in line at the polls.
“All across America, people like them have been at the polls making sure that if anyone was waiting (in) line, that those men and women – especially the elderly, mothers with children, families – that they will have a decent plate of food as they wait and exercise their right to vote,” Andrés said.
Some lucky New Yorkers also got a sweet surprise from Paul Rudd last week, as they braved the rain to vote early in the 2020 election.
According to videos and pictures circulating on Twitter, the beloved (and ageless) actor handed out cookies to people waiting in the rain to vote at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
“I wanted to say thank you, for coming out and voting and doing your part,” Rudd said in a video tweeted by user @Bowl_of_Worcel.
