John,
As we gather in gratitude this Thanksgiving week, we want to express our profound appreciation for your support. Thank you for standing with us in our mission to safeguard our democracy.
Like Tonya Wichman, a dedicated public servant and director of elections in Defiance County, Ohio, your commitment to democracy makes a difference.
Tonya administers elections for a small jurisdiction of roughly 40,000 people. Her dedication goes beyond her job: she has co-founded a scholarship program to engage and educate local high school students about the electoral process. Her work is a reminder of the joy and honor of serving democracy. Learn more about Tonya’s remarkable story.
In addition, Tonya is a member of our Faces of Democracy campaign, advocating for protections for election workers and for regular, predictable, and sufficient federal funding of elections. It's the dedication and commitment of individuals like her that shows why our work at Issue One is so critical.
With Giving Tuesday just around the corner, we can't help but appreciate the difference your support can make in helping us continue our work to strengthen our democracy. Gifts from supporters like you bring Tonya and public servants like her face-to-face with decision-makers, ensuring our elections are free, fair, and adequately funded.
As we enter the 2024 elections, this is an all-hands-on-deck moment for American democracy. Will you stand with us and support brave leaders like Tonya?
Your gift will support our advocacy, research, and education on urgent democracy reforms. That’s not all — if you contribute $100 or more by December 31, a generous donor will match your donation, up to a total $100,000 — doubling your impact!
Your support means the world to us and to the everyday heroes of democracy — like Tonya.
We look forward to continuing our crucial work together — and we’re thankful to have you as part of the Issue One community.
With heartfelt thanks and onward, for democracy,
Nick Penniman
Founder and CEO, Issue One
P.S. Your generosity can take many forms, from cash donations to non-cash assets like stocks, donor-advised funds, or QCD's. Every gift makes a difference.
