Jennifer Lawrence Urges Followers to Vote With a Hunger Games Call
Jennifer Lawrence used her most famous role to send a voting reminder to her fans on Election Day, Tuesday 3 November 2026. The actor, who played Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games films, posted to Instagram, where she has 8.7 million followers, as Variety reported.
The post showed a photo of Lawrence giving the franchise's three-finger salute, a gesture the character uses throughout the series as a sign of defiance and solidarity. The caption read: "Midterms [baby]. Don't forget who burns with us. Go vote."
The line "if we burn, you burn with us" comes from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, released in 2014. Lawrence was playing on that phrase, which fans of the series will know well, and turning it into a message about the midterm elections taking place across the United States that day.
The post also linked to Vote.org's polling-place locator, a tool that lets people find where to cast a ballot in their area. Lawrence did not back any candidate or party in the message. It focused entirely on getting people to the polls.
For a star of a major film series, a post like this is a familiar way to reach a large audience quickly. Lawrence's followers are not only film fans, and a reminder framed around a story many of them grew up with is designed to travel. Whether it changes anyone's plans on the day is not something the post can show.
Midterm elections fall in the middle of a US president's term and decide the whole House of Representatives and a third of the Senate, along with many state and local offices. Polls in most states close in the evening, US time, which means the vote is still under way for many people as the post circulated.
Lawrence's last major studio release came years after the Hunger Games films ended, and she has kept a steady public profile since then. Her Election Day post stays inside that pattern: a short caption, a single image and a practical link, with no speech attached.
