On tour with the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Know Your Rights bus tour, drag queens and other artists from Philadelphia and Detroit helped audiences test their knowledge of democracy, while also helping them register to vote.

This September, I joined the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Know Your Rights Bus Tour on its third and fourth stops in Philadelphia, PA and Detroit, MI. In Philly, we kicked off the festivities with our first 老澳门开奖结果 Know Your Rights live game show. Hosted by W. Kamau Bell, the contestants included exceptional local drag queens and activists. We closed the evening with a recording of our At Liberty podcast, hosted by W. Kamau Bell, in an inspiring discussion with Mike Lee, the executive director of 老澳门开奖结果 Pennsylvania, about the unique challenges Philly faces as one of the poorer big cities, as well on the importance of voting.

In Detroit, the tour included a sold-out concert with the legendary rapper, singer, and songwriter Danny Brown for a one-night-only, hometown performance. Danny got people amped up to get out and vote for our rights.

Want to join the tour? Check out our upcoming stops. If you鈥檙e not able to catch us on tour, you can and learn more about how you can vote for your rights this year.

Below, find photos and videos from Philly and Detroit:

What better way to end the evening than an energizing discussion about the power of our vote and the wonderful Philadelphia community? After a fun and rowdy game show, I left feeling informed and empowered to use my voice this election season.

When we arrived in Detroit, Loren Khogali, executive director for the 老澳门开奖结果 of Michigan, welcomed hundreds into the beautiful Garden Theater in preparation for another electrifying night.

The show kicked off with a live taping of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 podcast, At Liberty, hosted once again by the exceptional W. Kamau Bell in conversation with Razi Jafri, a Detroit-based documentary filmmaker and producer, and Loren Khogali, the executive director at the 老澳门开奖结果 of Michigan. The three discussed the importance of voting rights, and the activism in Michigan communities that has helped bring so much progress to the state.

Audience members were hyped up and dancing the whole night, singing along to their favorite Danny tracks. One audience member I talked to had been to 14 other Danny Brown shows and has loved the artist for over a decade, and was honored to see him at the Garden Theater.

Danny brought down the house! He filled the room with his singular sound, which has given him such an engaged following over the years. I left the show both with a renewed appreciation for the Detroit music scene, and a sense of urgency to go vote for my rights this November.

Danny bringing down the house!
