Hi,
In the United States, one of our most cherished hard-won
freedoms is the right to vote.
This year, gathering in
groups at polling places and waiting in line to vote poses serious
public health risks, so the need for universal vote-by-mail has never
been greater.
The Trump administration doesn’t see
it that way and is spreading falsehoods about the legitimacy and
security of voting by mail. There's "NO WAY" an election with
increased mail-in voting will be legitimate, Trump tweeted.
Trump even threatened to withhold badly needed federal aid from
states in dire need during this health crisis if they allow absentee
voting.
Here’s the truth: There is no evidence and never has been
that voting by mail is anything but safe and secure. Election
officials from both parties have put safeguards in place that
work.
Donald Trump and his cronies are trying to prevent voting by mail
because they want to suppress and delegitimize voting. They’re setting
up a false narrative asking voters to choose between voting and
keeping themselves and their loved ones safe.
Will they get away with pitting your vote against your
health?
Let’s not let that happen! Donate now to help Earth Day Network protect our
health and our right to vote.
We’re fighting for the right of every eligible American to cast
their ballot legally and safely.
Fight with us and protect vote-by-mail
and early voting options so that all our voices can be heard.
Donate now to keep voting
safe!
