Hi John, I’m sure you’re getting dozens of emails from important causes about how critical November’s election is, so I’ll try to keep this brief.
The most impactful donation you can make right now is to sponsor an Election Protection volunteer. Sponsoring a volunteer will give voters in-person, face-to-face assistance as they cast their ballots this year.
Right now, legislators in multiple states have proposed and even passed laws meant to confuse and suppress voters – including voter ID requirements, purging voter rolls, and vote-by-mail restrictions.
These problems might feel overwhelming, but I’m here to explain how you can make a measurable, real-life impact by sponsoring a volunteer today.
Here’s how we do it: in the weeks and months leading up to each Election Day, we help local election officials do what it takes to make sure every voter has a safe, non-partisan resource to help them cast their vote - or sound the alarm if they’re taking actions that will suppress eligible voters.
Then on Election Day (and during early voting), we monitor in-person voting for anything that could threaten the rights of voters who choose to cast their ballots in person.
Common Cause has been doing this vital work for 50 years – we know what works, and we know what to do when things go wrong. But like we always have -- we’re counting on supporters like you to step up and make our work possible.
Every trained volunteer could help dozens of people exercise their right to vote in just a single shift! Will you rush $50 today to sponsor a volunteer?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
We must maintain this momentum over the next 45 days as voters begin to cast their ballots. It won’t be easy, but with your help, we can empower and protect voters across the country.

P.S. Can’t spare a contribution today? You can still make a huge impact by signing up as a volunteer yourself -- even one three-hour shift between now and Election Day will make a difference for hundreds of voters, and we’ll give you all the training you need to get started!
