Michelle Obama urged Americans not to tune out of the gridlocked political system and said voting - and enlisting millions of new voters - is a pathway to change in a deeply polarized nation.
LOS ANGELES -- Michelle Obama urged Americans on Monday not to tune out of the gridlocked political system and said voting - and enlisting millions of new voters - is a pathway to change in a deeply polarized nation.
When We All Vote's inaugural Culture of Democracy Summit brought in people from business, technology, entertainment and sports. The event was held at Banc of California Stadium in Exposition Park. "Sometimes it's just easier to look away," Obama said, referring to domestic conflicts and controversies, including disinformation on social media, pervasive gun violence and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
Those in attendance came from all over the country. They're interested in getting people to vote across ages and races, and against misinformation.
