Collage of SCAN volunteers engaged in Get Out The Vote activities

Our activists are doing an amazing job turning out the vote – for kids! You can help us fuel our efforts through Election Day – and beyond – by making a contribution today. Thanks to a generous donor, all donations made before midnight November 2nd will be DOUBLED up to $20,000!

Hi John -

As a long-time political activist, I’ve been through a lot of election cycles (more than I’d like to share here!).

And I’ve seen a lot of field programs.  

But last week, during Save the Children Action Network’s (SCAN) Get out the Vote for Kids Week of Action, I was floored.  

Our determined SCAN volunteers and student activists organized dozens of text banks and postcard writing parties – all virtually! They asked people who don’t regularly vote to make a plan to do so. 

So far, our volunteers have sent more than 120,000 text messages and mailed close to 6,000 hand-written postcards to our supporters around the country. They’ve shared information about voting with their friends and family, too.

South Carolina SCAN volunteer CitlalyOne of our volunteers in South Carolina particularly inspired me. Citlaly is a college freshman and the first person in her family to attend college in the United States. She sent 225 handwritten postcards and 4,795 text messages to voters reminding them to vote in this critical election. She even wrote a letter to the editor of a major state newspaper about why - as a child of immigrants - she found it so important to vote. All of this while enrolled in college and running her own house painting business!

We’re going strong but we can’t let up! 

Help us keep up the momentum to elect leaders up and down the ballot who will be advocates for kids by making a donation of $40 – or whatever you can afford – to help fund our 2020 election efforts and all our work for kids. 

And if you donate by midnight on November 2, a generous supporter will double your contribution up to $20,000!

The issues at stake in this election will have a major impact on the lives of children here in the U.S. and around the world. 

We need candidates to know that parents are struggling to find child care as more providers close due to the pandemic. 

They need to know that millions of kids in our country don’t have enough to eat.

And they need to know that children seeking safety in our country are facing prolonged detention and family separation.

You can help us raise these issues with candidates and voters – as well as support all of our work on behalf of kids – by making a donation today. Your contribution will be doubled – so don’t wait!

Thanks for being a voice for kids,

Kimberly Robson
Senior Director, State and National Campaigns
Save the Children Action Network
