But even when Marissa was sharing her weight loss journey in September, she was also advocating for everyone to exercise their right to vote! “Thank you for always being part of my YO-YO journey,” an excerpt from her caption read. “I can only say Today I feel strong. Today I feel like I can do anything. Today I don’t bury my head, I will workout and email our senators wear — a mask and make sure Family and friends VOTE!!”

Marissa isn’t the only celebrity advocating for, and showing themselves voting! The Broadway darling is in good company, with peers like Selena Gomez, who voted for the first time, Taylor Swift, who passionately endorsed the Democratic Nominee Joe Biden and VP Nominee Kamala Harris, and so many more!
