[ [link removed] ]Protect our vote! Join PFAW for a virtual town hall on securing election
protections during COVID-19. Monday April 20, 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST
PFAW Member,
Right now, our democracy is under threat – and we need YOU to help us do
something about it.
The public health crisis of COVID-19 is unlike any challenge to our
election systems that we’ve ever seen. States need adequate funding to
implement serious voting procedure reforms right away, not only for the
remaining Democratic primaries, but also for the general election in
November. [ [link removed] ]Wisconsin’s chaotic April primary is a stark example of why
we must take action now.
In partnership with the Declaration for American Democracy and its 150
member organizations, People For the American Way is helping to launch the
[ [link removed] ]“Protect Our Vote: Defending Democracy During COVID-19” virtual town
hall series. Our goal is to illustrate the need for swift action from
Congress to secure our right to safely vote in our election no matter the
current health crisis, and to share solutions that will allow us to do
just that.
[ [link removed] ]RSVP now to attend a new virtual town hall series dedicated to learning
key strategies for advocating for election protections! >>
WHEN: Monday, April 20 at 8 PM EST/5 PM PSTWHERE: [ [link removed] ]Live on Facebook WHO:
Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Amy Klobuchar
(D-MN), Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman (R-WA), and other guests
[ [link removed] ]to be announced.
In order to secure the $4 billion in funding necessary for the states to
protect our democracy in the next federal COVID 19 relief package, we must
demonstrate the overwhelming public and political support, across party
lines, for the vital solutions necessary to protect our health and our
elections, including expanded vote-by-mail and early voting, additional
registration options, and other key reforms.
Alongside a panel of civil society experts from partner organizations,
PFAW Senior Campaigns Manager Rio Tazewell will discuss the importance of
grassroots mobilization in advocating for these expanded election security
funds. That’s why your attendance at this virtual town hall is critical –
we want to share how you can take action to ensure that no American has to
choose between their health and their right to vote ever again.
Protecting every American’s right to vote is important to us all, and we
want you to join us as we discuss the best ways to do that during this
historic pandemic.
[ [link removed] ]We hope you can join us this Monday, April 20^th!
Stay safe and healthy,
- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
