John,
We just built a new tool to help you know your options for voting at home
during the coronavirus pandemic, so you and your family can stay safe and
still participate in this election.
[ [link removed] ]You can see your state’s Vote at Home options and find out how to
request a ballot here:

Vote at Home is a proven, safe, and secure way to vote – and it’s already
the default in 6 states. But in many states voters still have to request a
ballot, and in 16 states it's not available without an "excuse" like being
out of town. Whether you live in a Vote at Home state or not, we’re asking
everyone to contact lawmakers to make voting at home possible for
everyone.
[ [link removed] ]Find out what the Vote at Home options are in your state, forward this
email to your friends and family so they can vote safely, too, then
[ [link removed] ]contact lawmakers to make sure everyone can vote.

pandemic and continue to defend our republic, read on:
Unrig Spotlight 2020 Postponed
We have made the difficult yet necessary decision to reschedule the
movement’s largest convening, which was planned for this May. We are
working quickly with all confirmed speakers and the original venue,
Miami’s New World Center, to determine a new date and bring you the same
fantastic programming. [ [link removed] ]See our full statement here.
Urging lawmakers to allow all Americans to Vote at Home
Nobody should have to choose between voting and their safety – and the
coronavirus doesn’t have to interfere with our elections if we allow Vote
At Home options to all Americans. Right now, voters in 16 states won’t be
able to vote from home. To that end, [ [link removed] ]we are supporting a bill in
Congress that would require all states to allow voters to request absentee
ballots so they can vote safely from home.
Volunteer actions and in person events
Effective immediately, we are canceling all in-person volunteering and
events until at least April 17th. [ [link removed] ]As always, our Action Brigade
volunteers continue to take action digitally to meet the needs of
anti-corruption campaigns across the country. I invite you to join them.
Our staff and community
Under guidance from state and federal officials, we are requiring all of
our staff to work from home for the foreseeable future and making
necessary changes to our policies and operations to prioritize the health
and safety of our organization.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an unprecedented and distressing
development for everyone in this country and around the world. It will
impact each of us individually and the anti-corruption movement as a whole
in unforeseen ways – but it will not derail the important work of this
community.
It’s often in times as uncertain and unprecedented as these that the true
power and resiliency of the American people becomes clear. I have no doubt
that the coming weeks and months will bring hardship and challenges. At
the same time, my faith in this country and this movement has never been
stronger. At RepresentUs, we remain optimistic, forward-thinking, and
solutions-oriented. Rolling with the punches is in our DNA.
Thank you,
Josh Silver
Director
