John,
This year, our democracy turns 250.
And I have to be honest with you: this anniversary feels different. Because while we're celebrating 250 years, too many Minnesotans are wondering whether their vote really counts, whether their voice really matters, whether democracy is actually working for them.
This November, those questions take on even greater urgency. Across the country, we're seeing continued efforts to undermine confidence in elections, interfere with election administration, and make it harder for voters to have their voices heard. Minnesota has long been a national leader in protecting free and fair elections, but we can't take that leadership—or our democracy—for granted.
It's time to be bold.
At FairVote Minnesota, we're not waiting. This November, we are going all in on electing candidates who will champion Ranked Choice Voting and bring it to every corner of our state.
At the same time, we're expanding our election protection work this summer and fall—working with partners to educate voters, defend election integrity, and ensure every eligible Minnesotan can cast a ballot that counts. Stronger elections don't happen by accident—they happen because people organize, advocate, and stand up for democracy.
That's where your gift comes in.
We need to raise $10,000 by our end of month deadline tomorrow — and every donation is being matched dollar for dollar. A gift made right now, in this 250th anniversary year, is twice as powerful. [[link removed]]
Your $50 becomes $100. Your $100 becomes $200. Every dollar goes directly to our candidate work — supporting and electing leaders who will make RCV a reality statewide.
DONATE NOW — YOUR GIFT IS DOUBLED [[link removed]]
And this fall, we're hitting the road.
Our Greater Minnesota Tour is launching later this summer, and we're bringing the RCV movement directly to communities across the state — Moorhead, Rochester, Duluth, Luverne, Two Harbors, St. Cloud, and beyond. Because saving our democracy isn't just a Twin Cities conversation. It belongs to all of Minnesota.
But we need fuel to get there. That takes resources. Staff. Travel. Events. And it takes your support. Your matched gift by tomorrow night makes it possible.
250 years in, democracy is worth fighting for. Let's fight boldly, together.
Thank you,
Jeanne
