NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This International Women’s Day, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, INTERMIX is partnering with Sophia Bush and Rock the Vote to stand up for equal representation and encourage women to vote. Launching today, text the word INTERMIX to 788-683, go to intermixonline.com, or visit any of their 32 boutiques to register to vote. This campaign marks the first activation in 2020 by Gap Inc. and its brands to help raise awareness about the importance of registering and voting, with additional engagement moments planned this year.
INTERMIX’s Make a Statement campaign features Sophia Bush, actress and activist; Carly Cushnie, founder and designer of Cushnie; Dee Poku, Founder and CEO of WIE, an influential membership network and platform for women leaders; Rebecca Hessel Cohen, founder of LoveShackFancy; Tezza, fashion photographer, musician and artist; Olivia Anakwe, model and advocate for Edible Schoolyard NYC; Andrea Lieberman, founder of A.L.C; Jyothi Rao, President of INTERMIX and Carolyn DeWitt, President of Rock the Vote. A custom INTERMIX “voting booth” will be located at 98 Prince Street, New York, on March 7th and 8th where shoppers are invited to send a vote of confidence to women who inspire them. Pre-addressed postcards with prompts to inspirational female leaders like will be available, alongside blank postcards to write to an inspiring woman in their lives.
“This campaign is a celebration of all the incredible women in our lives,” says INTERMIX President, Jyothi Rao. “The best way for women to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment is to exercise the fundamental right to vote. We’re honored to join forces with Rock the Vote to encourage women around the country to Make a Statement: with their voice, with their power, with their confidence, and with their vote.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with INTERMIX this International Women’s Day to recognize 100 years of women's right to vote. INTERMIX aims to empower and bring confidence to the lives of women each and every day through self-expression,” says Rock the Vote President Carolyn DeWitt. “Women’s suffrage was the culmination of a long struggle marked by themes that are still very much relevant today—voting rights, women’s rights, and the rights of women of color and Native women. At Rock the Vote, we know how important it is for women to be empowered to use their voice to advocate for themselves, their friends and families, and their communities. That’s why this International Women’s Day, we’re providing American women with the resources they need to register to vote, make confident, informed decisions and use their voice in 2020 in honor of all the women here and around the world who still don’t have the right to vote.”
