Released by grassroots organization [Humanity for Hillary](http://humanityforhillary.com/) on Monday, the video, called #ThisIsWhatMyRevolutionLooksLike, launched on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. The actors, including several other _Orange is the New Black_ stars, discussed what their revolution looks like, highlighting the need for equal pay, family leave and a woman’s right to choose. “It looks like women finally having a seat at the table, at the head of the table,” Dunham said. Added Natasha Lyonne: “It means the leadership of this country finally getting somewhat closer to reflecting who makes up half this country.” The group also addressed the lack of women in leadership roles in the U.S. “Women made up 53% of all voters in the last election,” Uzo Aduba said. “And yet we only make up 19.4% of our Congress? What the f—?” Several celebrities including Dunham, Katy Perry and America Ferrera, will attend the [Democratic National Convention](http://time.com/4415447/democratic-national-convention-celebrities-debra-messing-lady-gaga-fergie-lena-dunham-eva-longoria-snoop-dogg/) this week, where Clinton is expected to accept the Democratic nomination for president. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4422444/lena-dunham-uzo-aduba-hillary-clinton-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4422444/lena-dunham-uzo-aduba-hillary-clinton-video/"},"headline":"Lena Dunham, Uzo Aduba Among Stars Supporting Hillary Clinton in New Video","datePublished":"2016-07-25T19:48:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:45:51.893Z","description":"The actors talked about what revolution looks like to them","url":"https://time.com/4422444/lena-dunham-uzo-aduba-hillary-clinton-video/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt11009ce5c0764fce/69889f1f2dce01f2cd9ea023/dunham_oitnb.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt11009ce5c0764fce/69889f1f2dce01f2cd9ea023/dunham_oitnb.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"dunham_oitnb","caption":"","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4422444/lena-dunham-uzo-aduba-hillary-clinton-video/","name":"Lena Dunham, Uzo Aduba Among Stars Supporting Hillary Clinton in New Video"}}]}] ```
