John, it’s crunch-time for this year’s elections – but that may have been easy to miss if you’re not living in one of the states holding an off-year election.
For our team here at Common Cause, this November’s elections are of utmost importance. That’s because this is our chance to get hands-on experience for the landscape we’ll be working with in 2024.
John, I know you may be fielding an overwhelming number of requests for your time and resources – and these competing priorities may even seem more urgent than an off-year election.
But I can assure you that one sure-fire you can make a difference – for voters this year and in the all important 2024 elections – is by sponsoring an Election Protection volunteer for this November.
As I write you, our friendly, pro-voter volunteers are already hard at work, helping voters overcome new, confusing voting restrictions and any other attempt to take away their rights. They’re ordinary folks just like you and me, but they’ve volunteered their time to make a measurable – and major – difference for their communities.
Our mission: Ensure EVERY vote is counted and use this year’s experience to fine-tune our approach for 2024.
Even now, that means increasing the number of volunteers we’re fielding through Election Day and beyond so we can help even more voters. But with just 9 days to go, we need your action so we can place every single volunteer who steps up and make the biggest impact possible.
People headed to the polls are up against a lot of challenges this year – like new voter suppression laws that mean the voting method they used in 2022 might not be an option this year. That’s what makes our work so important. Our volunteers are trained by experts in each state’s voting rules which makes them the best response possible to the blatant attacks on voters rights we’ve seen out of states like Virginia and Florida in the past year.
Common Cause is on a mission to support as many voters as possible this election season. We have the volunteers – thousands of people have signed up, more than we expected. We just need the resources to train them, but time is quickly running out to make a positive impact on voters this year.
There’s just over ONE WEEK until Election Day, and we need your help to train and place every Election Protection Volunteer that signed up. It costs $50 to sponsor the costs for one volunteer – so will you will you rush your contribution today to make sure every vote counts?
Thank you for making an impact,
Elena Nunez, Director of State Operations
and the team at Common Cause
