John, we have some good news and bad news on how our GOTV organizing is going in battleground states like Pennsylvania.
We'll start with the good news: For the first time ever, Pennsylvania can vote early, in person, seven days a week! This makes voting more accessible in cities like Philadelphia, where we can encourage folks to turn out early and avoid long lines at the polls on Election Day — giving us more time to empower voters who don't always participate in elections to make their voices heard.
But we can't shy away from the bad news: We're finding that many voters who vote often in elections don't even know that voting early is an option. And if we can't spread the word far and wide enough, we run the risk of falling behind on our ambitious voter contact goals.
Will you rush a contribution to the Working Families Party's general election GOTV fund today so our organizers and volunteers on the ground have the resources that they'll need to reach more voters? We're hoping to raise an additional $7,500 by midnight tonight to help boost our efforts to turn out voters early:

To get the word out about early voting in Pennsylvania, we just released this powerful video:
Earlier this year, WFP set a goal of organizing 1,000 activists in Pennsylvania to make 1 million voter contact attempts and turn out 100,000 lower-propensity voters — or more than double the margin by which Trump won the state in 2016. We're well on our way, but we still have a lot of work to do.
In addition to that, we're hoping that videos like the one above can improve confidence and secure robust voter turnout well before Election Day arrives, even as Donald Trump and Republicans try to do everything in their power to sow confusion, distrust, and fear in the system through legal challenges and misinformation campaigns.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: The last thing we want is for anyone to feel like voting is too complicated. Voting is easier and more accessible than ever before in Pennsylvania, and it's key to helping secure a historic turnout by Election Day to take back the White House and win the transformational change we need.
Rush a contribution to WFP's general election GOTV fund by midnight tonight to help us overwhelmingly defeat Trump, elect Joe Biden, and build a government that works for the many, not the few.
In solidarity,
Team WFP
