Dear John,
We are less than 90 days away from this year’s crucial elections.
Yet the needs of 135 million poor and low-income Americans have been given too little attention.
In the first presidential debate of the season, no time was dedicated to poor and low-wage Americans nor the shameful reality that poverty is the fourth-leading cause of death in the richest nation on earth.
For too long, politicians have ignored poor and low-income voters. But when we ask these voters why they don’t vote, they tell us it’s because nobody speaks to them.
We’re changing that this year.
This past Tuesday on the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we launched a massive Get Out The Vote effort to mobilize 15 million poor and low-wage infrequent voters across the United States.
Donate today to support our mobilization effort.
In each of the so-called battleground states, poor and low-wage people make up many times the margin of victory in previous presidential elections.
This powerful voting block is a sleeping giant that can push those in power to embrace a moral agenda that centers justice, equity, and the needs of all poor and low-wage people.
With your support, we can fund a massive Get Out The Vote effort to mobilize millions of voters for this agenda. Click here to donate today.
