John,

At this very moment, foreign powers are working to undermine our elections — and Congress is not doing nearly enough to address this national emergency. That’s exactly why we launched our Don't Mess With US project to demand congressional action on a package of reforms to stop foreign interference in our elections.

Issue One is working tirelessly to demand action to keep our nation secure. Our Executive Director Meredith McGehee just wrote this op-ed explaining five important steps Congress can take that are part of the Don’t Mess With US package of bills to safeguard our elections.  

As Meredith makes clear, an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us: “Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and others don't see political party; they see weaknesses and vulnerabilities to exploit and divide our nation.”

This is not about refighting the 2016 election; it’s about protecting our nation in 2020, 2022, and every election beyond from disinformation campaigns meant to divide Americans.

Read Meredith's op-ed on how Congress can act on bipartisan bills to strengthen our national security and protect our elections.

Thank you for all that you do,

Ethan Rome
Chief of Communications, Marketing, and Strategic Initiatives, Issue One
