The Hollywood Reporter and Variety both report that Lawrence wrote the caption, "Midterms bb. Don't forget who burns with us."

The line referenced by Lawrence originates from the film Mockingjay, Part 1, where her character Katniss Everdeen delivers it during a promotional video for a rebel movement, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The character Katniss Everdeen was created by author Suzanne Collins for her young adult science fiction novel series, which was later adapted into feature films. [1][7]

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Lawrence's civic message comes as she prepares to return to the wider Hunger Games film franchise. [1]
