Friend,
Donald Trump knows he's in deep, deep trouble for re-election—but the Republican National Committee just announced a $20 million voter suppression plan to steal the election.
Step one: Fight any efforts to expand vote-by-mail and stop in-person early voting. and any other program that would help voters—especially people of color—cast their ballot without fear of catching or spreading the coronavirus.
Step two: Recruit 50,000 Republican activists to go to polling places on Election Day and challenge as many ballots as possible to intimidate voters and gum things up in Democratic precincts.
Step three: Use Trump's "command" of the corporate media to spout baseless conspiracy theories about voter fraud and rigged elections to cast doubt on any election result that doesn't make him the winner.
With our very democracy under attack, it is absolutely vital to have independent, non-profit media outlets like Common Dreams that will hold Trump and the Republican Party accountable and shine a bright light on their voter suppression efforts.
So many of our readers have lost their jobs and are struggling through this economic crisis. But if you're able to donate, we’re counting you to contribute as much as you can to help support our people-powered journalism.
Will you make a contribution to Common Dreams and help defend our democracy against Republican voter suppression?
