Team: Almost two years ago now, we launched our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign — a $5 million effort dedicated to protecting direct democracy and ballot initiatives.

And friend, our campaign couldn’t have come at a more necessary time — since then, extremist politicians and special interests have launched an unprecedented number of attacks on voting rights across the country. And right now, we need to gather the funds to fight back against one in Ohio coming to a vote in less than 2 months. 

Friday’s End-of-Quarter deadline is the last major fundraising deadline before this disastrous measure goes to a vote. Will you rush a donation to help us use our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign to protect the power of voters in Ohio and across the U.S.?

It started with voter suppression and redistricting… but these extremists have seen the social and economic progress we’ve been able to make through ballot campaigns — especially after passing measures to protect abortion access in the wake of Roe v. Wade — so now they’re coming after the most important tool voters have at their disposal: ballot measures. 

But, team, our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign is ready. Where we need to bring litigation, we will litigate. Where we can stop bad laws from being passed, we will run aggressive “No” campaigns to stop anti-democratic bills. And where the legislature refers suppressive measures to the ballot, we will fight to beat those very same ballot attempts.

But we need you in this fight with us, team. Will you donate whatever you can right now to help us hit our $25,000 End-of-Quarter goal to fuel our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign and fend off these attacks on the power of voters?

Thank you, friend.
