John,

Yesterday in Wisconsin, thousands of voters stood in line at crowded polling stations for up to 3 hours to vote during a global pandemic – and unless we act now, ten states will force voters in upcoming elections to put their health at risk.

We're launching a campaign to ramp up the pressure in the “Trailing Ten” states that still require in-person voting, urging them to implement Vote at Home options now. Will you make a donation before Friday, April 10th at midnight to help raise $5,000 to reach 200,000 voters and connect them to their election officials? Every dollar you give will be matched by a generous donor.

We’ve already put tremendous pressure on Congress to pass a bill requiring Vote at Home options for every state, and we’ve seen lawmakers from across the aisle come together to provide funding to states for safe voting. But Congress is in recess now, so we’re shifting our focus to the states.

The Trailing Ten states – Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas – are still planning to force voters who don't have an "excuse," like being out of town, to go vote in person. No one should have to risk exposure to a potentially deadly virus to exercise their constitutional right to vote. 

It’s vital that we protect the foundation of our republic, ensuring our elections represent the voice of the people – not just whoever is able to risk their lives. That’s why we’re going all-in to contact voters in the Trailing Ten states to urge their governors and legislatures to make Vote at Home options available immediately.

Chip in now to help us reach our $5,000 goal so we can keep the pressure on election officials in the “Trailing Ten” states where voters can’t yet vote at home safely. Every dollar you give will be matched, doubling your impact.

We need your help to fuel our fight to build a government of, by, and for the people. In a time where things are so uncertain, our elections shouldn't be.
