John --
With only 36 days until Election Day, I’m reaching out to explain why our team at Voto Latino urgently needs your support. If you don’t have time to read my full message, you can show your support right here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/vl-urgent.
First, let us point out that Trump paid $750 in taxes in 2016. Undocumented workers paid $27,000,000,000. Let’s vote out the grifter. Can you help us do it?
John, the pandemic threw a giant wrench into our plans to register a record number of Latinx voters across the country. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve been able to keep up our momentum.
But we’re facing a lot of obstacles: An aggressive Spanish-language right-wing disinformation campaign is spreading quickly across Florida. Its aim is to persuade Latinx voters in the critical battleground state to vote for Trump by pushing lies about Joe Biden, Democrats, and the overall election through ads on social media. And what’s most frightening: New polls suggest it’s working! Voto Latino is fighting back as hard as we can.
Another major concern is that poll numbers are tightening in Texas, Florida, and Arizona. All three of these battleground states could determine the election -- so their significance really can’t be overstated. But as poll numbers tighten there, our chances of electing a new president diminish. We urgently need to register thousands more Latinx voters in these states -- and the deadline is in just SEVEN DAYS!
Finally, we still need to register 500,000 new voters. We’ve made great progress, but with barely a month to go until Election Day, we’re still further from our goal than we want to to be. This goal isn’t arbitrary -- it is a true number of new voters we need to exert real influence and make sure OUR VOICES are heard in this election.
Bottom line: There is no chance of sending a new president to the White House without the Latinx vote. That’s why we cannot slow down our efforts -- in fact we need to ramp them up. And with so little time left before the election, we’ve never needed your support more. Can we count on you to come through for us today?
