We are six weeks away from one of the most consequential elections of our
lifetime. A series of voter suppression tactics — including sabotage of the
postal system, disinformation campaigns, the threat of failure to timely count
mail-in ballots, and voter intimidation tactics — threaten to determine the
outcome of this next election.
We invite you to join the movement. Please view and share this video with your congregation and networks and visit
us online for more information at lawyersandcollars.org [[link removed]] .

‘One person, one vote’ is a principle at the heart of our national identity, but
making that real for all citizens has been the result of struggle by movements
of the past, particularly Black, Indigenous, and people of color and women. This
year, pernicious suppression efforts seek to undermine this core democratic
value.
Voter suppression is real, and these tactics are especially treacherous because
they target those who are often in the most marginalized places.
At the heart of our faith is another value: Christians look to Jesus as our
example, who calls us to defend the defenseless, advocate for the overlooked,
and stand up for those who are most oppressed.
Sojourners is committed to this work and is answering the call in the lead-up to
this next election through Lawyers & Collars [[link removed]] /Turnout Sunday.
Join us tomorrow for a call with Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner to learn more
about how you can join this movement.

faced over this past year, then we must vote — and we must protect the vote.
