The American Federation of Teachers is making its closing argument for Hillary Clinton to voters in Ohio, Arizona and Florida with an advertising campaign emphasizing the strength of diversity.

The AFT Solidarity Fund is spending $500,000 for the 30-second ad called “Coming Together,” which looks to close out the contentious presidential race on a hopeful note as a way to persuade undecided and unenthusiastic voters to vote for Clinton.

The ad will begin running on television and digital platforms on Friday. In it a group of men and women representing various racial and ethnic groups and ages gather on lawn and begin to build a human pyramid, much like a college cheerleading squad. There is both an English and Spanish version of the spot. It makes no mention of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“What if we could build something together instead of rip things apart?” an announcer asks. “Lift each other up instead of tear each other down? We could build something truly remarkable, couldn’t we?” The ad closes with Clinton delivering her campaign slogan, “Let’s be stronger together.”
