John, in the last Presidential election 154 million people voted, but just 45,000 voters decided the outcome: enough to fit in a football stadium.

Since then, there has been a non-stop barrage of attempts to silence Black and minority voters in particular.

322 bills have been introduced THIS YEAR alone to restrict voting access through arbitrary limits on absentee voting, bans on providing water to voters as they wait in hours-long lines, drop box limitations, and polling site closures.

NDWA is one of the only major organizations with a core constituency of Black and brown women, and we are preparing for a historic mobilization to stop these disgusting attempts to disenfranchise Black and minority voices.

To say this is a big lift is an understatement, so we are preparing like there’s no tomorrow – and that has financial implications. John, can you contribute so we can stop Black voters being silenced next year?

Racial discrimination exists in many forms. It can be as violent and overt as police brutality or as subtle as lines drawn on a voting map.

Just recently the Supreme Court approved South Carolina’s effort to redraw Congressional maps to confine the voting power of Black residents into a single district.

Our response? To stand on the shoulders of generations of civil rights leaders and gear up for a voter mobilization of Black and brown women at a scale we’ve never attempted before, including:

• Going neighborhood to neighborhood, door to door, train station to train station to educate and register every eligible voter we can find;
• Getting people to the polls on election day and helping them stay in line as long as needed to make their voice heard;
• Assisting with voter protection efforts to combat intentional targeting of Black and brown voters’ eligibility.

In every election, every single vote matters. But especially when things are this close, we have an obligation to the millions of Black and brown women we serve to ensure their voices are heard and their votes are counted.

That is not going to happen on its own, and John, your generous donation is crucial for underpinning our ambitious effort to stop silencing Black and brown voters next year. Please donate now.
