Comedian and activist Amy Schumer announced her pregnancy and encouraged fans to vote in the same social media post, Monday.

The 37-year-old actress announced the news with the help of News Not Noise journalist Jessica Yellin, who posted a list of Schumer’s voting recommendations to “flip the house.”

Schumer’s surprise note: “I’m pregnant,” appeared at the end of the list.

Amy Schumer’s list of recommended Democrats to vote for and her baby announcement posted on Instagram Monday.

While viewers saw the news on Yellin’s Instagram, Schumer posted a photoshopped image of herself alongside her husband, and soon-to-be dad, Chris Fischer on the bodies of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who recently announced their pregnancy.

Though the baby news is exciting, Schumer urged fans to follow Yellin to stay updated and informed about the midterm elections Nov. 6.

“Follow her and VOTE,” Schumer wrote on Instagram.

The “I Feel Pretty” star and cousin of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has been more outspoken in the recent months, using her platform to stand with #MeToo survivors, fight for women’s equality and LGBTQ rights. Earlier October, she and actress, Emily Ratajkowski were arrested along with 300 other protesters in Washington, D.C., in protest over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
