Shonda Rhimes will join Debbie Allen alongside other castmembers from Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice in a Get Out The Vote trivia event on Sunday, presented in partnership with MoveOn political advocacy group.
The livestreamed competition will be free to the public, though organizers ask that attendees remind three of their loved ones to vote before joining.
In addition to Rhimes and Allen, Florida rep. Maxwell Frost will attend the event, along with Shondaland actors Kate Walsh, Amy Brenneman, Jessica Capshaw, Midori Francis, Jason George, Anthony Hill, Chris, Lowell, James Pickens Jr., Harry Shum Jr. and KaDee Strickland.
The group will split into two teams, competing in Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice trivia questions, while also giving away prizes and encouraging all attendees to vote and volunteer for Kamala Harris and the Democratic ticket.
“There are just four days left until polls close and we have to leave it all on the field and leave no stone unturned to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and progressives up and down the ballot,” Walsh said in a press release. “On TV, we’ve overcome hurricanes, sinkholes, ferry accidents and more, but that didn’t stop us, so don’t let anything stop you from getting out the vote.”
George added, “We may play fake doctors on TV but we know the stakes are very real in this election. There might only be a few days left until Election Day, but it’s not too late to use our power and make our voices heard at the ballot box. After doing all of our research, the answer for us was clear: We’re voting for Kamala Harris and Democrats all the way down the ballot to protect our freedoms.”
MoveOn Political Action spokesperson Britt Jacovich said her organization is spending the final days before Tuesday’s election “reminding voters to use their power and elect leaders who will protect your freedoms, including your rights to abortion and reproductive healthcare.”
She continued, “Healthcare decisions should be between a patient and their doctor – not dictated by Donald Trump and rightwing extremists.”
The trivia competition will occur Sunday at 5 p.m. PT. Attendees can join at MoveOn.org/CodeBlue.
