Team, last year on Election Day, we saw blatant voter suppression on full display in Mississippi.

Our founder, Joe Kennedy, spoke about this during his discussion with Marc Elias from Democracy Docket. Here’s how he described what happened with Mississippi’s race for governor:

“The state law said that every Mississippi voting precinct had to have enough ballots for a 60% voter turnout. What happened in a couple of the [Democrat-leaning] counties? They ran out of ballots.”

Folks, thanks to the work local organizers are doing to register voters and encourage civic engagement, Mississippi had its closest governor’s race since 1999 — but there’s still so much work that needs to be done.

Supporting activists on the ground who are seeing and dealing with these voter suppression tactics in real-time is the best way to make progress in the Deep South.

That’s why we’re dedicated to uplifting local progressives working in Mississippi and our other target states. Will you fuel our efforts by pitching in $10 before midnight tonight?
