This election season, countless celebrities have gotten involved politically — doing everything from shooting PSAs encouraging people to vote to releasing songs protesting Donald Trump.

Well, Timothy Simons is wielding his celebrity in a different way. The Veep actor — who plays the political-aide-turned-congressman Jonah Ryan — has launched an Omaze campaign selling T-shirts to raise money for arts education.

But unlike his loveably unlikeable character, Simons was able to successfully convince his Veep castmates into supporting this cause. As you can see in Simons’ tweet below, Matt Walsh, Tony Hale, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are each sporting a gray tee with the phrase, “Jonah Ryan for Congress. ”

Proceeds from the $25 shirt will benefit the Los Angeles High School of the Arts. The campaign will continue online for one more day.
