Thousands and thousands of people all across America have donated to be part of everything Public Citizen does to protect democracy.

That includes our bold new campaign to make sure that a system for easily voting by mail is in place in all 50 states for the election this November.

It's not democracy if Americans have to choose between going to the polls or staying home to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Please take a quick look at my earlier note — copied below in case you missed it — if you haven't already.

Thanks!

Well, at least Donald Trump has openly admitted what we all knew.

Here’s what Trump said on Fox “News” (of course) about protecting every American’s fundamental right to vote amid the coronavirus emergency:

“You’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”

As we saw last week in Wisconsin — where people literally had to risk their lives to vote — Republicans are weaponizing the coronavirus to disenfranchise voters and distort elections.

There is one surefire way for Americans to vote without putting their own lives — and the lives of others — at risk.

EVERY REGISTERED VOTER IN EVERY STATE MUST BE GIVEN THE OPTION TO EASILY VOTE BY MAIL.

No ifs, ands or buts.

Public Citizen is helping lead a nationwide organizing and advocacy strategy to make this happen.

But the clock is ticking. And — from Donald Trump on down — we are facing intense resistance.

Can you make a contribution to help us ramp up our work safeguarding democracy?

Please donate today.

Or even join our popular Monthly Giving program so we have the baseline level of resources to keep fighting.

Thank you for anything you can chip in.

Stay safe.

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen

P.S. If you’ve donated recently, thank you. I wanted to let you know about this really important campaign, but please don’t feel any obligation to contribute again.
