As of today, we’re two months out from Election Day!
John: We have only weeks to get mail-in ballot applications to Democratic voters in swing states to ensure they can safely vote from home and have their voices heard in 2020.
If you can, chip in here →
The work we do from now until Election Day is crucial. This is how the election has changed and why we need to take action NOW:
A Spike in Voting from Home: An estimated 80 million mail-in ballots will be returned this year -- more than double the number returned in 2016.
A Drop in Voter Registrations: Voter mobilization organizations that registered 2,000 voters a week before the pandemic have seen registrations drop to roughly 100 a week.
IF YOU CAN: CHIP IN $5 RIGHT NOW TO FIGHT BACK →
Democrats Are More Likely to Vote by Mail: Roughly 48% of Joe Biden supporters said they would vote from home. Only 23% of Trump supporters said they would vote from home. Mail-in voting complications could disproportionately affect Democratic turnout.
Mail Delays: The Postal Service warned 46 states that voters could be disenfranchised by delayed mail-in ballots not arriving in time to be counted.
We can do something about it though.
We might not be able to get out the vote by knocking on doors, but with your grassroots donation, we can send mail-in ballot applications to Democratic voters in swing states and we can follow up with texts and calls. If you can, chip in here →

| 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. |
