John, in October of every election year, Common Cause sees a huge rush of volunteer and donor interest. That's when people are most tuned in and wanting to do whatever they can to protect our democracy.
But I'll let you in on a little secret – the most important time to give isn't next October, or even in 2024 at all. It's actually right now.
Why? Because believe it or not, our team is already finalizing our plans for Protect The Vote 2024 – our massive campaign to recruit, train, and deploy thousands of nonpartisan volunteer poll monitors where they're needed most.
As I write you, our experts are devouring the data we gathered in 2022 – and closely tracking the state legislative fights that will determine what rules will be in place next year, and what obstacles eligible voters could face when casting their ballots.
John, I know you realize that we cannot afford to wait until the last minute to safeguard our democracy. The crucial work for 2024 has already begun – and I need your help to make it possible.
With your help, Common Cause can take the early action that is required to be on the frontlines, battling against disinformation, protecting voters' rights, and advocating for fair voting laws.
That's why today, I'm asking you to step up and make a commitment to these efforts as a Guardian for Democracy. It's a special group of Common Cause members who give $5, $10, or even $25 each month – and by doing so, give us the resilience and resources we need to plan for the future.
I’m asking you if you’ll join this group, and become a Guardian for Democracy today and power our voter protection work for 2024 and beyond.
AND if you sign up right now, we’ll send you Robert Reich’s book The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It as a thank you!
Sorry, I can't become a sustaining member at this time, but I’d still like to make a one-time gift to help where it’s needed most >>
You and I both know what's at stake next year – and so do our opponents. They're working hard to cook up voter suppression laws, dangerous lies about the integrity of our elections, and new dirty tricks meant to intimidate or discourage voters into giving up their rights.
That means we must spring into action as well. We must begin preparing for the 2024 elections to protect our democracy and ensure that every voice is heard.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to a just and democratic society.
Sylvia Albert, Director of Voting and Elections
and the team at Common Cause
