  • In “Fathers,” actor Ron Livingston lends his talent and voice to amplify every father’s responsibility in this election.

  • In “Mothers,” actress Jennifer Garner reminds women and mothers of the power they have this election to help Kamala Harris get over the finish line and win.

  • Multiple award-winning directors participated in a partnership with the Lincoln Project to produce several short films: 

    • Oscar Award Winner Marshall Curry directed two short films on how the costs of healthcare in America affect working families, “The Act of Caring” and “Insulin Princess.”

    • Oscar winner Jessica Yu directed “It Couldn’t Happen Here” and examines reproductive rights and how recent legislation has destroyed the hopes and dreams of women.
