In Canada today, drag culture is under attack. The queer community is under attack. Far right groups and power-hungry politicians are using misinformation and fear to turn queer rights into a wedge issue. The attacks started with the trans community, but we know it won't stop there. If they succeed, Canada will be less free, less equal and less safe for our community.
Educating the public and getting our people out to vote will be critical this election. That’s why Queer Momentum is recruiting drag performers like you to participate in our Drag the Vote campaign as Drag Ambassadors.
About Drag the VotePowered by the Society of Queer Momentum, Drag the Vote is an campaign led by drag performers in Canada who want to help mobilize their fans, 2SLGBTQIA+ people and allies in the next federal election. As the election approach, we'll launch our public Drag the Vote campaign. |

Drag the Vote FAQ
What kind of content am I being asked to repost? How frequently?
Drag the Vote is a non-partisan initiative aimed at bringing queer people and allies out to vote. Working with our ambassadors and communications team, we'll share ongoing content on the @QueerMomentum social media, all of which you are welcome - but not required - to share. Our specific ask for drag performers is that they 1) work with us to create and share a socials post aimed at encouraging their audience to pledge to vote in the 2025 federal election, 2) when our content resonates with them, that they re-share this content on their socials, and 3) consider plugging the Drag the Vote at events in the leadup to the election. We will work with you at every step to help.
Will I be asked to repost content related to a specific political party or candidate?
No. Drag the Vote is a non-partisan (but staunchly progressive) initiative. We will not ask drag ambassadors to share partisan content, or to support a specific political party or candidate. Queer Momentum will share analysis and criticism (where relevant) of specific political parties and politicians - ambassadors are welcome to amplify this content but it will not be included as part of the Drag the Vote initiative.
What if I don’t agree with the content of something I am being asked to post?
All content sharing is on an opt-in basis. While we ask that all ambassadors are willing to share a minimum of one post (announcing their participation as an ambassador) all additional content is optional. If you do not agree with a piece of content, we understand! We also welcome your feedback. We want to work with you to make this initiative a success.
Am I allowed to independently endorse or support a political party or candidate?
Yes. We encourage drag performers to get directly involved with political parties or candidates they believe in! Participation in this initiative does not stop or limit your involvement in partisan activities. The only caveat is: as we are a non-partisan initiative, please do not use the Drag the Vote brand, hashtag or messaging in partisan posts or activities.
What are the benefits for me to participate as a Drag Ambassador?
Participation in Drag the Vote is on a volunteer basis, but we want to uplift you and build your profile through this initiative. As a drag ambassador, you will be featured and uplifted as a community leader on the Queer Momentum social media. We will also work with you to encourage local media coverage of your story and message. We anticipate national and local media interest in this initiative.
We will also provide you with everything you need to participate - including a custom Drag the Vote t-shirt, signage and related materials.
