Elizabeth Banks took a page from her popular Pitch Perfect films in a new music video for Hillary Clintons presidential campaign.The star-studded video, which debuted during the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, is an a cappella version of Rachel Plattens hit anthem, Fight Song, which also features the artist.
Joining Banks and Platten are Mandy Moore, Aisha Tyler, Rob Reiner, Kathy Najimy, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eva Longoria, Kristin Chenoweth, America Ferrera, Jane Fonda, Julie Bowen, Idina Menzel, Connie Britton, Mike Thompkins, and Banks Pitch Perfect costars John Michael Higgins, Hana Mae Lee, and Ben Platt, among many more.
Banks hosted the Tuesday lineup at the DNC, where earlier in the evening she compared Republican nominee Donald Trump to her Hunger Games character, Effie Trinket. The night also included speeches from Lena Dunham and Ferrera, Meryl Streep, and a keynote address by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, as well as an appearance via video from Hillary Clinton, who secured the Democratic nomination earlier in the day.
We did our best to identify all of the celebrities in the Democratic convention's cover of "Fight Song." Editor's note: We may have missed a few.

Probably filming pitch perfect 3 and had availability of those in the film. Katy may have been recording or something.
