Hi John,
Thousands of people are in the streets demanding justice for Black Americans, but at the same time we're seeing the boot of oppression remain on their necks in our nation's capital. What happened on Tuesday in DC could very well be what we see in the November election:
"...@nbcwashington is reporting that a DC police officer stopped by a polling site after 7 PM today to tell people waiting in a long line there they were in violation of the curfew by staying to vote." - Edward-Isaac Dovere, The Atlantic
Trump will pull any lever to keep voters he thinks aren't likely to support him from voting in November, including curfews and police action. That's why we're mobilizing NOW to send mail-in ballot applications directly to voters in swing states. Please donate to make voting accessible in November. [[link removed]]
We have a clear goal: Defeat Donald Trump and start repairing the massive damage done by his administration.
One of the best tools we have to beat Trump is making it easier for Americans to vote-by-mail. It's terrifying to think about election interference that could take place in November, but we must consider the worst possible scenarios and plan to help voters overcome these barriers.
We need you to join our movement to make it easier to expand vote-by-mail. [[link removed]]
He's going to fight tooth and nail to stay in office. Just this week, Trump had protesters tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets for a photo op in DC, and now we're seeing these reports that cops were using the curfew to try to keep people from voting on Tuesday. This is getting serious and we must mobilize.
Thank you for caring and taking vote-by-mail seriously.
Vote From Home 2020
------------
Vote From Home 2020 is a grassroots movement that's making vote by mail more accessible. With a $25 donation, we'll send vote by mail applications to 20 voters. COVID-19 has brought America to a halt, and with it almost all in-person voter mobilization efforts. While volunteers can’t get on buses to swing states or go door-to-door right now, there is a huge opportunity for progressives, especially in solidly blue states, to get out the vote where it counts. By sending vote by mail ballots to targeted states and following up with text and calls to voters, we can ensure the 2020 general election is safe and accessible. Please forward this email if you know someone who may be interested. Our average gift is just under $25 so consider donating that today to support voting rights.
