To state the obvious, these are not ordinary times.

They demand urgent action — to uphold the Constitution, to protect communities that are under siege, and to defend democracy itself from the gravest threats it’s faced in our lifetimes.

We fight back by organizing alongside our neighbors. By contacting our elected officials. By showing up to protests. By sharing personal stories that show how the MAGA agenda hurts real people.

And yes, we fight back through grassroots donations to organizations such as Fair Fight Action, which I founded to champion a basic principle: every eligible voter should be able to easily register to vote, cast their ballot, and have it counted. That is why I’m urgently asking if you can rush a donation today, with free and fair elections on the line.

Fair Fight Action is a national leader in the fight to ensure voting rights and to protect democracy.

With your support, this team has continued to mitigate the effects of voter suppression, run cutting-edge and culturally competent voter education programs, and stop legislation that would restrict the freedom to vote.

Last year, when disinformation and changing rules threatened to prevent people from getting to the polls, Fair Fight Action developed a sophisticated, groundbreaking voter protection chatbot to provide accessible, multilingual voting information.

Earlier this month, when Georgia lawmakers were trying to ram through yet more voter suppression legislation, Fair Fight Action raised the alarm, rallied Georgians, and helped stop those anti-voter measures from passing into law.

And now that the U.S. Senate is our last chance to block the so-called SAVE Act, a stunning assault on voter rights that could disenfranchise millions of people through a modern poll tax, Fair Fight Action has reached out to over 200,000 Americans urging them to contact their senators and demand a no vote.

This model — of organizing and outreach, of education and advocacy — has delivered results and will continue to ensure progress, but the Fair Fight Action team counts on grassroots support from people like you.

Together, we can push back against the shameless voter suppression plans being proposed across the country, which would push us in the direction of Jim Crow, when the freedom to vote was not a freedom for all.

Together, we can stop anti-voter attacks — including mass voter purges and restrictions on early voting — from spreading across the country. 

And together, we can take back our democracy from the oligarchs and their minions.

Your donation can help Fair Fight Action mobilize at a moment’s notice, and the threats to free and fair elections couldn’t be more urgent. Please make a donation today to fight for our rights.

This work is more important than ever. And you make it possible. Thank you.
