PFAW Member,
Your fundamental right to vote does not change because we’re in the middle of a pandemic.
Last week, Wisconsin voters had to struggle through chaotic breaking news and a lack of preparation in order to vote during a public health crisis. Despite efforts by Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to delay the state’s primaries, and because of conservative majorities in the Wisconsin legislature and on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court, many people were forced to choose between exercising their right to participate in their democracy and their own safety.
This is unacceptable.
We need you to act TODAY to demand that the Senate fully fund voting protections during the coronavirus crisis and beyond. Dial 1-844-248-4061 OR text "CORONAVIRUS" to 21333 to get connected now!
The amount of funding for protecting our elections included in the earlier coronavirus stimulus packages is still not enough. In order to make sure that all Americans can have access to safe and secure voting – be it through vote-by-mail, early voting, or in-person voting with vastly improved polling station sanitation and security – we need the Senate to allocate at least $4 billion in the next COVID-19 relief legislation to make this possible. In addition to the above-mentioned protections, this amount of funding needs to support expanding early, online, and same-day registration, all of which is critical for ensuring that everyone has the means to vote this November.
TODAY is a National Call-In Day to urge Congress to immediately pass legislation that provides funding for these and other necessary reforms. Our states need enough time and resources to implement these changes before the November general election, and we need your help to make that happen!
Call your senators today at:
1-844-248-4061
Or text "CORONAVIRUS" to 21333
Demand that Congress dedicate $4 billion in funding to secure our elections in the next coronavirus stimulus package. If we act together, we can secure our democracy.
We’re going to say it again: Your fundamental right to vote does not change because we’re in the middle of a pandemic.
Call or text your senators now.
In solidarity,
- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
