John,

As we wrap up the third quarter of this year, I wanted to take a moment to share some incredible highlights and express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support.

Last week, I had the honor of testifying before Congress about the critical challenges of Artificial Intelligence (such as deep fakes) to the integrity of our election system. This is a pivotal moment to bring these critical issues to the forefront of the national conversation.

Election officials nationwide, myself included, are increasingly alarmed by the potential misuse of this technology. It can create highly convincing images and videos that blur the lines between reality and fiction, posing a significant risk to our electoral process.

Despite recent legislative efforts to combat technology-driven disinformation, we anticipate that this threat will only intensify as we approach the 2024 presidential election. It's a sobering fact that we have to confront.

A Bump in Support:

I have to say thank you to everyone who chipped in before our end-of-quarter deadline. Your shared dedication to defending our democracy and ensuring election integrity shone brightly during this time.

These numbers reflect the strength of our community and the shared values we hold dear. Together, we are making a real difference in safeguarding our electoral process and promoting transparency.

What's Next:

As we head into the final quarter of the year, our mission remains unchanged. We will continue to lead with honesty, counter disinformation, support our dedicated election workers, advocate for fair election policies, and empower voters.

Your ongoing support is vital to these efforts. Disinformation activists have made it clear that they’re just getting started. The lies and deceit around the 2020 election are not going away. As we approach election season, I need your support more than ever.

John, our only public fundraising deadline is this quarter and all eyes will be on us to see if people are still willing to fight for our democracy and lead with the truth. That’s why I need your support right now. Will you chip in $5 or more now?

Once again, thank you for your commitment, generosity, and passion for our democracy. It's supporters like you who drive our progress and inspire our work.

Let's carry the momentum of Q3 into the final stretch of 2023. Together, we can overcome any challenges that come our way and ensure that the voice of every citizen is heard.

With gratitude,

Steve
