John,

The election is only 49 days away, we are in the midst of a pandemic, and still the Senate has failed to ensure that everyone who needs to can vote by mail. The clock is ticking.

Obviously, these are not the best of times. Many people—especially those from vulnerable or marginalized communities—experience barriers to casting their vote even in the best of times. In a democracy, everyone must be able to vote, and they must be able to do it without fear of endangering their health. That’s a simple principle, and one step that would help tremendously is expanding access to vote by mail.

Tell the Senate to expand access to vote by mail before it is too late. >>

The Senate has the choice to either stand up for democratic values or to potentially disenfranchise millions by forcing people to choose between their health and their political voice. This choice should be one of the easiest they have ever had to make.

By funding and protecting the U.S. Postal Service and expanding absentee voting options wherever possible, the Senate can do its duty to the American people.

Funding the postal service and expanding vote by mail is essential to a fair election. Tell your senators now. >>

Thanks to President Trump, this easy choice has been politicized. Trump cast a mail-in ballot in this year’s primary and has requested one for the general election, but he has done his best to ensure that the option is not available to other people by targeting the postal service and spreading lies about the dangers of voting by mail.

The Senate does not have to follow Trump’s lead, and public pressure will go a long way to help make that clear. Please help amplify the message by telling your senators to expand access to vote by mail today.

Thank you for standing with us,


Donald Sherman
Deputy Director, CREW
