John,

Election workers are facing unprecedented threats while protecting the integrity of our democracy. It’s a tough job, and they need our support more than ever.

Next week, we’re releasing national survey results that reveal a concerning divide: While 79% of Harris voters trust election outcomes, even if their candidate loses, only 44% of Trump voters feel the same. Even more troubling, 83% are worried that social media could fuel violence after the election.

The next few weeks are critical. So, how can you help?

Watch The Officials – Premiering Thursday on TIME!

This powerful documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at the election officials — including two members of our Faces of Democracy — who are on the front lines, ensuring every vote is counted fairly, despite the threats and harassment they face. We’ve created a companion toolkit to help you spread the word and take action to support them, including by hosting a screening in your community.

By signing our pledge, you’ll show these brave professionals that you stand with them in defending free, fair, and secure elections. Every signature is a show of solidarity for the professionals who protect our democracy.

Between now and January 6, 2025, we’re going all in at Issue One. Through our rapid-response communications hub, we’re supporting over 40 nonpartisan democracy organizations, driving voters to the most trusted sources of election information through HowElectionsWork.org, and using real-time AI tools to fight false information. Our bipartisan messengers are on the ground defending the truth and sharing trusted election security messages through ads and targeted campaigns.

This is our moment to act. Thank you for standing with us, for your support, and for believing in the integrity and values that make our democracy strong.

Gratefully,
