NEW YORK (AP) | Alan Cumming joins the likes of Neil Gaiman and Anita Hill among the list of contributors to Book the Vote, an online initiative to provide information on the electoral system, voting registration and civic topics.
Book the Vote is a collaboration among Penguin Random House, PEN America, the non-profit organization When We All Vote and the literary retailer Out of Print, which is owned by Penguin Random House.
The website will include videos from Cumming, Gaiman, Hill and other authors and public figures, including Ann Patchett, Jennifer Egan, Jeffrey Toobin, Susan Orlean and John Lithgow. One feature is called “How America Works” and covers four topics: the right to vote, voting for the president, the Supreme Court and the electoral college.
“Truth, facts, press freedom and the future of open discourse are all on the ballot this November,” PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel said in a statement.
Noseel and Penguin Random House U.S. CEO Madeline McIntosh said they were pleased to be working together to provide credible and authoritative information about the U.S. election and voting rights.
