It's rare that blockbuster movies do male prostate and eroticismanything to move culture forward besides make people really annoying on Twitter.
Ben Shapiro rants aside, Black Pantheris a lovely exception. Activists Kayla Reed, Jessica Byrd and Rukia Lumumba from the Movement for Black Lives' Electoral Justice Project recently launched #WakandaTheVote to help register voters at Black Panther screenings across the country.

"We know that for some it's a superhero world, but we know that the world we deserve is still waiting to be built — and we want to build it! This upcoming spring and November 2018 midterm elections are an important step in building that new world, and we want to take every opportunity to engage our communities in the conversation of electoral justice."
The activists are recruiting viewers to set up voter registration drives in their community. Viewers can sign up either on Facebook or by texting 91900 to #WakandaTheVote.
According to the activists, over a 1,000 people were on the initial launch call. The reaction from folks on Twitter has been consistently euphoric, though I haven't checked Ben Shapiro's rants today.

It’s 75 degrees outside in STL and while some will attribute that to global warming...I believe it’s because #BlackPanther is finally here and the ancestors didn’t want us to hide our fly ass outfits at the premiere #WakandaTheVote #WakandaForever

We woke up feeling like the new world we deserve is imminent.

So far, more than 40 registration drives have been set up around the country. Not all heroes wear capes, but some do run voter registration drives.
