Election day is well underway, but artists are still coming together to encourage people to vote. Monday night, Pusha T, T.I., Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Jay Electronica, and more got together for "Young Gets It Done," a rally hosted by 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers that brought thousands of young people to Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens together. The whole event was meant to inspire and encourage young African American, Latino, and Haitian/Caribbean citizens to go out and cast their vote in this year's presidential election.

The group, which also included social activists like Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, also participated in a short film titled "11.08.16/It's Time" as a visual call to vote. The video, which debuted on Tuesday, opens up to the familiar sound of Kodak Black's voice asking others to vote thanks to a phone conversation recorded from St. Lucie County Jail. "Hello, my fellow Americans. Make sure you go out there and vote. I'm Kodak Black and I approve this message."

"My people, it's time. It's time that we end this mass incarceration system. It's time that we fix this flawed criminal justice system. It's time that you let our people go," Pusha tells the camera. T.I. later adds, "It's time to end systemic racism. It's time to end mass incarceration and privatized prisons."

Sybina Fulton is also on hand to share her own message about taking action. "My people it’s time to wake up. It's time to stand up. It's time to participate. It's time for action. We need to save our children," she says. "Nobody is going to save our children for us. We need to save our own kids, and we need to think about how we’re going to do that. Because our children need to stop being killed, stop being murdered, stop being slaughtered, stop being hunted. It's time. It's time for you to do your part." You can watch the full video above and be sure to get out there today and vote.
