Indivisibles,

This is it. The special election called by Ohio’s MAGA GOP to rewrite the rules of democracy wraps up in one week.

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to send over 100,000 texts to Ohio voters so far, and our ‘vote tripling program’ where we ask respondents to get three housemates to vote has seen unprecedented success in getting ‘unlikely’ voters to the polls. Our groups have held dozens of canvassing events, organized phonebanks, and sent 10,000+ postcards.

We’ve done all this work because we understand the stakes. If this MAGA referendum passes and Republicans succeed in making it harder for voters to amend their constitution, we can kiss our hopes of protecting abortion rights in Ohio this November and unrigging the state’s gerrymandered maps next year goodbye. The Ohio GOP will continue to entrench their power without fear of accountability. and inevitably, Republicans in other states will follow suit.

The thing is, the far-right understands these stakes too. And as things have started to look very good for our prospects of defeating this initiative, they’ve begun a multi-million dollar last-minute blitz of ads and mailers aimed at sowing misinformation in order to confuse voters and increase the chances that this shameless MAGA power grab will pass.

Who are we talking about? Well, according to the president of “Ohio Right to Life,” (the main anti-choice group behind this special election), THE NRA “is standing shoulder to shoulder with Ohio Right to Life and telling their members… to vote yes on issue 1.”

We’re already seeing some disgusting anti-trans ads on the airwaves aimed at confusing voters about the ballot measure. Ohio voters can apparently also expect to now see a number of mailers and/or ads funded by gun lobbyists claiming they must vote yes to prevent their guns from being seized. All of this is to distract voters from the real purpose of this referendum, which Republicans have admitted is “100%” about preventing voters from restoring abortion rights.

So what are we going to do about it? Well, we’re going to work every day from now through August 8 to earn every vote we can to win this thing.

This movement has already done so much to help our Ohio organizers, but with all that’s on the line and the dark money arrayed against us, we’re asking once more if you can chip in to get us across the finish line.

This week we have our big national texting party, and over the next few days, our groups will be hitting the pavement and knocking on doors to reach every voter they can. With your support fueling this work, we’re going to win next week, help Ohioans codify reproductive freedom in their constitution this November, and pass fair maps next year.

We’re so grateful to all of you for seeing the vital importance of this election (that the GOP hoped no one would even notice!) and investing so generously to ensure that democracy prevails. We can’t say it enough: Thank you.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
