The Chicago event was a powerful showcase of this mission, with BenDeLaCreme making a special appearance to speak to the crowd, joined by activist and politician Honey Mahogany. Both delivered passionate calls to action, emphasizing the importance of the queer vote and the need to uplift and build the community. The recurring message was to get out and do something, because our rights are at stake.
Drag PAC, a newly formed political action committee led by some of the biggest names in drag, made its official debut at the DNC this week. Alumni of RuPaul's Drag Race -Alaska, BenDeLaCreme, Jinkx Monsoon, Monét X Change, Peppermint, and Willam-are at the forefront of this effort, aiming to empower and mobilize LGBTQ+ voters.
Their goal is to register more people to vote and to encourage eligible voters who did not vote in the last election. The show, titled 'Drag Night Chicago: A Voter Registration Kiki,' brought together a dazzling array of performers, activists, and political organizers to not only entertain but also inspire and mobilize the LGBTQ+ community to vote in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Lucy Stoole, the host for the evening and a beloved Chicago queen, echoed these sentiments, encouraging everyone to take political action at every level-local, state, and federal. They all wanted to remind the attendees that this was not just a night of entertainment but a crucial opportunity to make a difference.
