John, millions of voters may find themselves facing new obstacles at the ballot box this fall. Don’t worry – we have a plan to fight back no matter what’s thrown their way.
Since we launched our Protect the Vote campaign – our urgent response to GOP-led voter suppression laws and anti-democracy disinformation – we’ve helped voters overcome new restrictions in states like Georgia and Texas, recruiting and training thousands of volunteers to work in primary and general elections across the nation.
I’m inspired by how many Common Cause members have answered the call – volunteering hours of their time to fight voter suppression in their communities, ensuring every voter knows their rights, and vigorously pushing back against right-wing election denial.
On the heels of 2020’s record-setting mobilization and our largest midterm Election Protection effort ever in 2022, I’m hoping to go even bigger for 2024.
We’re up against a lot this year. We’re facing attacks on vote-by-mail in states across the country. But I’m glad to see you – and thousands just like you – know what’s at stake and are mobilizing to meet this moment.
Now here’s the challenge: We must rapidly scale up our volunteer training program to match this historic level of interest, sharing the lessons learned from the off-year elections in 2023 while stepping up our recruitment efforts even further.
The result? With your help, we plan to field thousands more nonpartisan Election Protection volunteers at the highest-need polling places across the country.
We’re holding trainings as I write you – tailored to each state and jurisdiction’s specific election rules. And in an environment where we know there will be litigation and other last-minute changes to voting procedures, we’re equipping them so they’re ready for anything.
Each additional volunteer we field costs us $50. This covers the expert training, legal backup, and tech infrastructure to support them during the primaries, early voting, Election Day, and beyond. So, your $50 investment translates into hundreds of voters now able to cast their ballots free of fear or intimidation!
John, thousands of voters across the country are counting on your support to help them cast a ballot, free of suppression or intimidation. Please act now to sponsor a volunteer today >>

John, it’s been amazing to see the difference our trained and dedicated volunteers have already made this year.
With your help, we’ll be able to repeat those successes nationwide – strengthening our democracy through voter participation, and building a better future for us all.
Thank you,
Elena Nunez, Director of State Operations
and the team at Common Cause
