As we are a fully fledged US business and coupled with our passion as a company for voting rights, we've brought back Jelly's out-of-office GIFs....

Purpose

We’ll cut straight to the point – 2020 – what a rollercoaster… There could be light at the end of the tunnel, or at very least, things not getting a whole lot worse. We’re looking at you, US election 🤞.

The year to date has inspired us to summarize our feelings in short poem:

From a global pandemic to racism that’s systemic, bleeding eyes and famous flies
2020 has been one hell of a ride… it’s knocked our spirits and our pride,
but there is light at the end of the tunnel yet… (and this is as far as we’ve gotten)

#JellyOOO is back in time for the upcoming US election.

What was/is #JellyOOO?
Last year a handful of Jelly artists created Out of Office GIFs celebrating various holidays, events, festivals etc.

What has this got to do with the US election?
Our artists have created various pieces of work encouraging and reminding people to (you guessed it) VOTE. This is one of the most important elections in recent history and with voter suppression a real risk, getting the message out to engage and vote is even more important than ever.

So, to switch on your Out of Office responder, add to your email subject line, share on your social posts and Whatsapps that you’re out voting (and everyone else should be too) follow the instructions below for your tailor-made GIFs to help you do the talking for you.

These weird, whacky and wonderful artworks can be found on Jelly’s GIPHY channel – feel free to download or share the link to anyone and everyone who needs to hear it!

You can also find all these on your WhatsApp and Insta Highlights by searching “vooote” and/or “jellyooo“.
