John, what if I told you that for just $50, you could determine whether hundreds, even thousands, of voters get to make their voices heard, or whether they go home in frustration?

It might sound too good to be true — but that's exactly what's on the table. After all, that's the difference that just one single Election Protection volunteer can make.

Right now, our nonpartisan, pro-voter advocates are confirming their shifts for early voting on Election Day. In just the past few weeks, we've trained these volunteers in states across the country — from Arizona, to Michigan, to Pennsylvania, to Georgia — with the information they need to help every voter know their rights.

And we're not even close to finishing. In just the past 24 hours, and every day before that too, hundreds of new volunteers have signed up.

I don't need to tell you, John, that with the stakes so high this year, we can't leave a single opportunity on the table. That's why we're scaling up and running our volunteer training program right up to Election Day: to maximize the number of volunteers we can place and voters we can help.

And here’s where you come in. This is, quite frankly, an enormous undertaking for Common Cause's national and state teams — and we're stretching every dollar as far as it can go to maximize our impact.

But dealing with this year's surge of volunteer interest — more than any year besides 2020 — is hugely expensive. In that record-breaking year, we were able to count on Common Cause members like you to step up and cover the funding gaps.

But this year, unfortunately, our fundraising just isn't hitting that same pace. The last thing I want to do is scale back this work, John, because I know how urgently important it is.

That's why I'm writing to you today to ask for your $50, or whatever you can spare, to cover the costs of one additional volunteer.

I know there are a lot of worthy causes asking for your attention right now – but I hope you'll agree that our nonpartisan effort to protect EVERY voter this year is worth it. Can you sponsor a volunteer today? >>

By stepping up to make our Election Protection 2024 effort possible, please know you're a part of something extraordinary.

I'm glad to know we can count on you.
