ACLU Supporter –

Six weeks.

That's all we have left until the most consequential Election Day in America's history.

And it's the most dangerous time in the 2020 election season because we know that many politicians will stop at nothing to hold on to power – including doing everything they can in these final weeks to callously suppress the vote and force voters to choose between their health and their fundamental right to cast a ballot.

The ACLU has been at the forefront of pushing back against these discriminatory voter suppression tactics, and your support has made an incredible impact across the country.

But in these final weeks, we're all going to have to dig a little deeper to keep up the fight to protect our voting rights and our safety in this crucial election. Because, especially in light of recent news, the stakes could not be higher.

That's why I'm urging supporters like you to make a generous gift today to help ACLU teams across the country as we kick our fight against voter suppression into high gear.

Right now, ACLU attorneys like myself are involved in over 20 voting rights cases throughout the nation, including:

• Recently taking on the Puerto Rico Election Commission and winning in a court order that requires policies to allow all voters who are 60 or older to vote early or by mail this election
• Challenging Ohio's patchwork system of matching voter signatures on absentee ballots and absentee ballot applications

ACLU Supporter, we have to spare no effort in making sure Black and Latinx voters, poor people, our youngest voters, the elderly, and people with disabilities aren't shut out of these elections by voter suppression.

And it's critical that as efforts to block people from the ballot escalate, the ACLU can also escalate our work to fight back at every turn.

Combating voter suppression is an all-hands-on-deck fight – we cannot do this critical work, or any work to defend civil liberties, without supporters like you with us.

So please, make a generous donation to the ACLU today and play a huge role in making sure we have what it takes to keep up the fight from now through Election Day.

Sincerely,

Dale Ho
Director, ACLU Voting Rights Project
