Friends,

We’re down to the wire.

Our programs are spinning on all wheels in the final days before this historic election with profound consequences—not only for who wins the White House, but also for key state legislative chambers that’ll redraw our electoral maps and decide access to the ballot box for the next generation.

On the ground in Arizona, VICE followed our VetsForward team in their final outreach and voter persuasion programs in this key national battleground. Watch to see how our innovative deep canvassing by veterans is making a difference in tough GOP turf:

As VetsForward Executive Director and U.S. Army Reserve Captain Aaron Marquez explains in the video, “What we’ve learned with deep canvassing is that we’re not going to convince them with all the stats…Those things don’t really resonate until you make it a personal story...You can’t go straight for the mind, you got to go through the heart to persuade anyone.”

We’re so proud and grateful for all the work by our VetsForward team in Arizona helping persuade key Republican voters ahead of this critical election up and down the ballot. Chip in to support our VetsForward team’s work in the final days as they continue their vital outreach and persuasion programs.

Together, we can win back power in Arizona and in key battleground state houses across the Sun Belt.

Let’s go win this thing,
