They address the camera:

"Hi, I'm Jill Greenlee. I'm a professor in the politics department and in the women's, gender and sexuality studies department.

I try to vote in every election that I'm eligible to vote in and I do this because there are particular values and policy concerns that motivate me deeply.

They shape how I think about the world.

They shape what I do for a living.

They shape a lot of things about me and I know that voting is the most

effective and efficient way to communicate those concerns

and values to government and to elected officials.

Voting this November may not be easy for many of us, but voting this November is more important than ever.

Please register to vote.

If you've already registered, check to make sure your registration is accurate.

If you think that you'll vote by absentee ballot, please request an absentee ballot in plenty of time.

Fill it out and get it back in the mail so that it can be counted.

And if you vote in person, please be safe and also make a plan.

Figure out where you need to go and when you're going to get there, and how you're going to get there so that you make sure that your vote is counted.

Your values, your policy concerns matter just as much as mine so please vote this November and make sure your voice is heard."

The video then transitions out to show a white background where blue text reading 'Brandeis University' fades into the screen. A few frames later the text 'go.brandeis.edu/votedeis' also fades into the screen after a few seconds the screen fades to black.
