Dear MoveOn member,

It's Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, and we need your help to make sure all our
voices are heard in November.

Along with our friend Michelle Obama, we're co-chairs of When We All Vote,
a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the race and
age voting gap.

Yes, we had COVID-19. Yes, we made the news, and luckily, we got through
it. But we know there are millions of Americans and families across this
country who have been put in desperate situations and have not come out so
lucky. We've seen firsthand the effect this disease can have on our
families and communities, and now we need your help to make sure it
doesn't stop anyone from voting in the upcoming elections.

Just like Michelle Obama said, "No one should have to choose between
making their voices heard and being healthy and safe."

Vote’s petition telling Congress to support the Natural Disaster and
Emergency Ballot Act of 2020.

With the threat of COVID-19 looming over the November election, Congress
must act to ensure every American has the ability to cast their ballot
safely and without unnecessary risk. Tell your elected officials to expand
access to vote-by-mail, early voting, and online voter registration.

When We All Vote supports the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act of
2020, because it includes three key elements that make our elections more
safe and fair. We join When We All Vote in their commitment to increase
voter participation in every election by implementing these changes:

* Expand Access to Vote-by-Mail: Vote-by-mail could be the only safe and
secure option for some Americans. States must offer multiple options
for requesting, receiving, and returning mail-in ballots while
maintaining the security of our voting system; multiple ways to
request mail-in ballots, including online, in person, by phone, and by
mail; and safe and secure options for returning ballots by expanding
deadlines for mail-in ballots to be requested and returned.

* Expand Early In-person Voting: While all Americans should have the
choice to vote by mail, it is crucial that we recognize that many
people will prefer to vote in person. We must make in-person voting as
safe and available as possible. Expanded early voting will allow
voters to cast their ballot a few days or sometimes weeks before
Election Day.

* Expand Online Voter Registration: We should not make voter
registration complicated if we really want everyone to participate.
Online voter registration is a safe, accessible, and secure way that
voters all across this country can sign up to participate in our
democracy. It allows eligible voters to quickly and easily register to
vote online from the comfort of their own home.

[ [link removed] ]So what do you say? Are you with us? Join us and sign When We All
Vote's petition to expand access to vote-by-mail, early in-person voting,
and online voter registration now.

We know that when we knock down barriers to casting a ballot and make
voting more accessible no matter who you are, more people—especially young
people and people of color—turn out to vote. And when we all vote, we
create a stronger democracy. Democracy doesn’t appear like magic, you
guys. We have to work at it, and that means each of us has to participate.

[ [link removed] ]Please add your name if you agree our nation must do more to guarantee
safe and fair elections in 2020.

Thank you and take care,

Tom and Rita
