Yesterday, October 23, Lizzo campaigned for Joe Biden with a powerful speech ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election.
The 'Cuz I Love You' singer spoke to a crowd of around 50 people in the Focus: Hope, a non-profit organization. The group aims to provide training and education to marginalized minority groups.

Speaking in her hometown of Detroit, she told the crowd, "I don't have to tell you guys that this is the most important election of our lifetime."
As part of her speech, Lizzo spoke about the significance of Michigan voters in this presidential election.
Endorsing Biden, she said the would-be President and his running mate Kamala Harris will "help us finally bring America together."

This is what the body confident musician said in full:
"I have not been on a plane since March. I have been in my own little bubble all summer because of this pandemic.
"But when I heard about what you guys are doing out here in Detroit, working so hard... Getting on a plane was the least I can do to say 'thank you' in person.
"Michigan is going to be so crucial and how Michigan votes is going to be so crucial between trying to make America great again or finally bringing America together."

The speech continued:
"They're out they're trying to make America again - but we need to finally bring America together because I don't want to go back to the way it was.
"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will help us finally bring America together. So thank you for going door to door in the face of a pandemic, risking everything on the front lines, trying to save our democracy.
"So go get your packets, go knock on some doors and be on the right side of history. Let's go y'all"

Lizzo's speech comes just one day after incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden went head to head in the final presidential debate, less than two weeks before the election on November 3.
