John,

There is so much at stake in November. The Presidency, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and 33 Senate seats will be up for grabs. This election may very well determine whether the right to vote is sacrosanct in this country, whether we continue to give tax handouts to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of vulnerable families and communities, and whether or not we will finally have a path to citizenship for DACA recipients.

We had our first voter engagement letter-writing party of the year last week and we had a record number of people sign up.

Your neighbors, co-workers, and family members are fired up about this year’s election because they understand what’s at stake. At the Coalition on Human Needs we’re doing everything we can to register voters and turn out infrequent voters because this election is too critical for us to sit out.

Power our “Vote for Human Needs” voter outreach campaign with a donation today to ensure that everyone can make their voice heard in this critical presidential election.

Last year, 16 states enacted 29 voter suppression laws―including 11 that make vote-by-mail less accessible by enacting stricter voter ID requirements, shortening the period for requesting or casting a mail ballot, banning the use of drop boxes, and criminalizing the act of returning a mail ballot on behalf of someone else.¹

These laws disproportionately impact people with disabilities, people living in rural areas, and Black and Native populations.

Our democracy can only work when we all have equal access to the ballot box to make our voices heard. Chip in $5 today so that we can expand the reach of our “Vote for Human Needs” campaign and make sure more voices are heard between now and Election Day.

Thank you for all you do,
