Dear John,

Bad News: Signature gathering will begin shortly to put an initiative on the California ballot in 2026 that, if passed, would devastate the state’s longstanding democratic process with two dangerous voter suppression measures:
* An ID requirement that would apply every time a voter casts a ballot in person or by mail.
* Requiring burdensome, expensive, and unreliable federal database checks to confirm US citizenship of eligible voters.

Good News: VoteRiders is fighting back against this initiative with research, education, and voter outreach.

A VoteRiders donor has offered a $25,000 matching challenge to jumpstart our work in the Golden State. That means every gift will go twice as far as we work to stop voter suppression in California!

Voter ID laws like this aren’t about safeguarding elections — they’re about silencing voters.

Millions of Californians do not have government-issued ID documents with their current name and address on it. For those who don’t, many don’t have the time or funds to replace documents, including those whose documents were lost or destroyed by natural disasters like the wildfires.

Stopping this harmful ballot initiative will take everything we’ve got.

We really need your support. Make a gift now, and a dedicated donor will double it — and we’ll put it straight to use educating voters, supporting partners on the ground, and commissioning research to show exactly how harmful this initiative is.

Onward,
