What nonprofit did the 2020 West Wing reunion special benefit?

The 2020 West Wing reunion special benefited When We All Vote, the nonprofit focused on increasing voter participation and civic engagement.

Titled A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote, the production reunited much of the original cast for a staged version of “Hartsfield’s Landing,” a third-season episode. It was filmed at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and released by HBO Max in October 2020.

The special was created during the COVID-19 pandemic, when live theater and many television productions were disrupted. Its theatrical presentation also served as a fundraiser and voter-participation message ahead of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

A common mix-up is confusing the beneficiary with other voting organizations such as HeadCount, VoteRiders, or Rock the Vote. Those groups work on related civic goals, but they were not the nonprofit named in this West Wing project.
