[1]Voting While Black

Hey John,

It’s Arisha, President of Color Of Change PAC. My thoughts are with you
and your loved ones as we live through this very difficult time. 

I’m going to be transparent here: the coronavirus pandemic has made it far
more difficult to mobilize Black folks to vote in crucial elections this
year. Dozens of our on-the-ground voter engagement events have been
completely canceled to keep our field organizers and members safe. We no
longer can knock on our neighbors’ doors, host block parties, host Black
joy brunches, and keep our local offices open.

On top of all of this, Black folks are experiencing the brunt of
coronavirus. We are dying at disproportionate rates in this country. Tens
of millions of us are now unemployed and at risk of not being able to pay
for basic necessities. We are experiencing harassment for wearing face
masks in public. And we are being disproportionately arrested for
violating police-enforced social distancing orders. I am tired of elected
officials across the country continuing to fail Black folks without
accountability. Enough is enough.

It’s time we take our power back and elect officials who are committed to
protecting Black people during this pandemic. Since we cannot mobilize for
Black political power outside, we are now ramping up our efforts online.
Doing so takes a lot of time, effort, and most importantly -- money. We
are going to be hiring staff to work from home, hosting fun virtual events
with Black folks across the country, and educating them about what is at
stake. 

It is very difficult for us to ask you for money right
now, John. We at Color Of Change PAC know that many people need
to prioritize feeding and housing not only themselves but their families.
