Now that's what we call pitch perfect. 

Elizabeth Banks made a star-studded splash during the second night of the Democratic National Convention Tuesday when she debuted a little project she had organized in honor of her favorite presidential candidate.

"This is for Hillary," the Emmy nominee introduced the clip before a bevy of stars, from Mandy Moore and "Fight Song" creator Rachel Platten to Sia and Jane Fonda, took the mic to declare their vocal support for the potential future commander-in-chief. 

Broadway star and former Wicked colleagues Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel reunited to show off their enviable pipes while Pitch Perfect alums like Ben Platt, John Michael Higgins, Hana Mae Lee and Ester Dean fell seamlessly back into sync. 

"We got some hard choices, but together we're gonna make it. We're living in history," Dean rapped mid-song. "America take a bow. We're about to show the world, yeah, women are equal now."

America Ferrera, one of Clinton's staunchest celebrity supporters, performed in the video and also delivered remarks to the packed stadium in Philadelphia.  "I'm America Ferrera, and according to Donald Trump, I'm probably a rapist," she began at the podium alongside Girls' Lena Dunham.

"Hillary has spent the last 30 years proving what she sees in us. Not our color, gender, economic status, but our capacity to grow into thriving adults, capable of contributing great things to this country," the actress continued. 

While there is still one major decision to be made between now and November, Clinton figuratively and digitally broke the glass ceiling Wednesday when she became the first woman in American history to become the presidential nominee of a major political party. That's certainly a milestone moment to sing about.
