Robinson paired her Instagram post with an emotional call to action: "Extremely honored to #Vote today. Real talk, I never really cared all too much about the midterms. Never paid attention to them nor talked about them much. Well, 2016 changed that for me with the quickness. I started educating myself and realizing how much I was taking for granted. That’s sucky to admit, but life is all about doing better when you know better. And what I know better is that being tuned in and challenging myself to #AllyUp is the only way I can be a part of the solution instead of the problem. Literally everyone - women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, etc. - is under attack and having their basic human rights threatened and if I don’t do my part, then how in the hell cam I hold anyone else to a high standard or expect anything to change positively? I truly understand the importance of being up to speed with politics, not just every four years, but year round, if possible. So today I vote to make my voice heard. Today I vote because so many have died for my right to take political action. Today I vote because I refuse to hand this country over to a bunch of racists, sexists, and thieves. And today I vote because I know that no matter how things turn out tomorrow, saving America will be the biggest project of our lifetime and I plan on showing up. Every. Single. Day. Please vote, my sweet babies. And if you live in District 6 in Ohio, vote for my brother Phil Robinson. #YQY'
