PFAW Member,

This is the most unusual election landscape in memory...

Record numbers of voters will cast their ballots by mail and take
advantage of early voting this year, but we also expect a massive turnout
on Election Day.

In order for voters to be able to cast their ballots, do it safely, and do
it without waiting in line for hours and hours, WE NEED ELECTION DAY POLL
WORKERS!

Because of the pandemic, and the average age of poll workers being older,
we’re in danger of having a shortage of the Election Day poll workers
necessary to making sure Americans are able to exercise their right to
vote.

That’s why we’re teaming up with Power the Polls, a nonpartisan program
aimed at inspiring 250,000 Americans to sign up as Election Day poll
workers in their localities.

able to vote this November? >>

As a poll worker in most places in the country, you can expect to receive
training, personal protective equipment (PPE), and paid compensation for
your work.

In part because of Trump’s efforts to sabotage and sow distrust of the
Postal Service and mail-in voting, many voters across the political
spectrum are choosing to cast their ballots in person. We’ve already seen
the proof in the unprecedented lines at the country’s first-to-open early
voting locations.

But without enough workers to staff Election Day operations, we could see
the number of available polling locations drastically reduced, and lines
so long that many voters might be dissuaded and discouraged from casting
their vote.

We need to do everything we can to avoid that scenario … so patriotic
Americans – especially those who are young and healthy, and considered
less vulnerable to the coronavirus – need to step up to make sure our
democracy works on Election Day.

That’s why we’re asking you to step up to address this critical poll
worker shortage – and most likely get paid to do it.

If you’re in a high-risk group for COVID-19 and can’t sign up yourself,
please consider spreading the word to someone who can.

Thank you for loving – and fighting for – our democracy.

In solidarity,

– Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
