In support of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, he encouraged men, specifically, to think of their kids before making a final political decision.
The ad, released on Wednesday, Oct. 30, is said to be aimed directly at Christian males, in particular. It follows a group of men walking into the polling booth on Election Day, with one saying, "Come on boys, let's make America great again," the slogan synonymous with Republican candidate Donald Trump's campaign.
"Before you cast your vote in this election, think about how it will impact the people you care about the most," Clooney's voice narrates in the ad.
The video depicts a man thinking twice about how he'll vote after his young daughter calls out to him, while another man featured looks thoughtfully at a picture of his kids on his phone, before making his choice.
"Remember, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know," the Wolfs actor's voice resounds as the first man casts his vote for Harris. As they leave the polling booth, his friend asks, "Do your patriotic duty?" with the first man replying, "You bet I did, brother".
The ad ends with the Ticket to Paradise star's voice saying, "What happens in the booth, stays in the booth."
The evangelical organization's executive director, Doug Pagitt, said that "after traveling the country and meeting men all over who have a higher calling for their vote than just what their political party or friends demand of them, they began this campaign to make a difference on election day," per Hello!
"We know they'll think about who they love the most when they vote and not just what their political party or religious community tells them to do," Pagitt added.
