John, the 2024 presidential election is 338 days away.
That may seem like ages to some. But here at Common Cause, we have a lot to accomplish in 338 days.
- We need to recruit and train thousands of Election Protection volunteers to help voters safely and securely cast their ballots…
- and we need to do the same with hundreds of Social Media Monitors to flag election disinfo when it happens, and proactively post helpful, truthful information about our elections…
- we’re also meeting with election officials around the country to advocate for positive reforms – like ensuring voters have access to drop boxes in their communities…
- all while we stay on top of all the attempts to suppress the vote across the country – like when Virginia removed thousands of eligible voters from the rolls just days before this past November’s elections.
That’s just barely scratching the surface of our to-do list before November 4, 2024 – which is why I’m already well into preparing for next year’s elections.
John, we have a Speaker of the House who was a key player in Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow the 2020 election results. And the same man who incited a deadly insurrection when he lost in 2020 is running again. You and I need to be ready for anything this year.
Let me be clear: Our elections are safe and secure. And I’m not going to let anyone change that. But I can’t ignore the threats stacked against us either. So I’ve set a personal goal to mobilize our biggest Election Protection effort yet – even bigger than our historic mobilization in 2020.
This is going to be a resource-intensive – but utterly necessary – 11 months. And I won’t be able to pull this off without you.
John, many of our members make their election-year contributions in October, just one month before the election.
But the earlier you give, the more impact you will have. And until the end of the month, a generous group of donors is matching every gift up to $100,000 – so your donation will have double the impact. That’s why I’m writing to you right now:
Can I count on you to chip in $3 or more today and power our efforts to run the biggest Election Protection program in Common Cause history? Your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000!
With you by my side, I know we’ll have a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of voters in this upcoming election. But I can’t do this without you. Please let me know I can count on you.
Thank you,
Sylvia Albert, Director of Voting and Elections,
and the team at Common Cause
