Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox had a ‘Friends’ reunion encouraging fans to vote

Fans are still waiting for the highly anticipated Friends reunion that was scheduled to take place in May on HBO Max. We’re going to have to wait a little bit longer for ‘the one where everyone gets back together,’ but a Friends reunion did take place over the weekend for a very special reason. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow released a video on Sunday urging people to register to vote in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The world may never agree on whether Rachel and Ross were a break, but we all know that Americans need to vote in November.The three Friends stars appear in a silent video that shows Cox and Aniston whispering to each other and Kudrow nodding in agreement. Sure, it’s not the most creative voting video, but when the cast of Friends get together for anything, the internet breaks. Adding the caption “Friends don’t let friends skip elections,” both Cox and Kudrow shared the clip as well as information on how U.S. residents can text the word ‘Friends’ to 26797 in order to make sure they are registered to vote.

Although Aniston has not yet shared the video, the actor has been vocal in the past about the importance of voting, including sharing her ‘I Voted’ sticker selfie in March.Of course, elections are much more important than TV specials, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about both. During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, David Schwimmer confirmed that the Friends reunion is once again moving ahead and is scheduled to film in August. Let’s hope they don’t pivot away from this date.The cast of Friends aren’t the only celebrities who are using their massive platforms to encourage Americans to register to vote for the November elections. Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz reprised their One Tree Hill roles as Brooke Davis, Peyton Sawyer and Haley James Scott to remind fans in Tree Hill and beyond that they now have less than 100 days before the November 6 election, which means it’s time to stop fighting over basketball playing half-brothers and register to vote.

Later that month, Beyoncé made a virtual appearance at the BET Awards to accept the prestigious Humanitarian Award. "Your voices are being heard and you're proving to our ancestors that their struggles were not in vain," said Beyoncé during her acceptance speech. "Now we have one more thing we need to do to walk in our true power and that is to vote. I'm encouraging you to continue to take action. Continue to change and dismantle the racist and unequal system."The award was presented by Michelle Obama, who has filmed her own PSA for the organization When We All Vote, which aims to help voters register and participate in the upcoming election. Remember when the Obamas were in the White House? Vote, America!LeBron James has also launched his own voter registration initiative. More Than A Vote was created by James and other Black athletes and entertainers to fight “systemic, racist voter suppression by educating, energizing, and protecting our community in 2020.” Part of James’ efforts have included working with NBA teams in an effort to convert arenas into polling stations in November.[video_embed id='2001455']BEFORE YOU GO: Dog hilariously tries to push cat out of family picture [/video_embed]
