We just launched our final pre-election campaign to make sure we have
the funding we need to defend the integrity of our democracy.

Over the next 11 days, Trump's voter suppression tactics will only
become more repressive and desperate. This is a five-alarm fire. An
emergency. It is the greatest test our democracy has ever faced, and
we're counting on your donations to help fight back and fund our
election integrity coverage. Can you help us meet our Fall Campaign goal
of $80,000 by November 2?
