Join me as we build, win, and sustain RCV for years to come through a gift to
the Rob and Cynthia Fund! Dear John,

It was an honor to host the 2024 FairVote Awards in New York City, celebrating
leaders in the democracy reform movement! I’m writing to share highlights with
you, and to invite you tosupport our fundhonoringRob RichieandCynthia Richie
Terrell– two of FairVote’s co-founders and passionate warriors for responsive
and representative government.

During the event, I unveiled our next multi-year strategy to “build, win, and
sustain” use of ranked choice voting (RCV) across the country. This renewed
vision is about more than winning in one city, county, or state – it is about
creating a movement that advances better elections and better government across
the United States.

We celebrated Eric Liu and Rashad Robinson, each of whom received an award for
their groundbreaking work to strengthen democracy. Eric spoke of combining civic
engagement with structural reform, and Rashad spoke about rethinking our
electoral systems for lasting racial justice. Both discussed the possibilities
ahead for our movement.

At the end of the night, I went onstage with FairVote Board Chair Danielle Allen
and FairVote Action Board Member Andrew Yang to make a final call for support.
Andrew made a $3,200 commitment to theRob Richie and Cynthia Richie Terrell Fund
for FairVote’s Future, and encouraged everyone to give a multiple of $32 – or
any amount – to the Fund. Rob and Cynthia started FairVote 32 years ago,
culminating in their “Generational Impact Award” at the event – a fitting nod to
their work.

Between now and September 15, the names of all donors to the Fund will be added
to a donor recognition wall at FairVote’s office. This wall will be the first of
its kind for FairVote; it will honor our co-founders, as well as those who are
making RCV available to Americans across the country.

The promise of greater voter choice and a responsive government has never been
more urgent or more possible. I encourage you to donate to theRob and Cynthia
Fundtoday!

Ever grateful for your support,

Meredith Sumpter
