Dear John, We almost worried this day would never arrive... but it's here. Today is Election Day.
When CCAN Action Fund picked the motto, “Fight to Vote, Vote to Live,” it motivated me to give this campaign everything I’ve got. It became a mantra for me. Today, on the final day of voting, its significance feels more powerful than ever. We are fighting. We’re fighting for a nation where everyone has the opportunity to have a livable wage, good housing, quality education, and affordable healthcare. We’re fighting for safe, clean communities and a healthy planet to pass onto our children and grandchildren. We are fighting for basic fairness, an end to systemic racism, and economic systems that work for everyone. And quite literally, after 230,000 COVID-19 deaths, we’re fighting for our lives. This is an election about everything worth fighting for. No one can sit this out. So get energized! Put on your mask and get out there. If you have questions about how or where to vote, click here! Maybe you’re fired up and ready to cast your ballot for Joe Biden. Awesome! I promise you - it feels great. But if you’re thinking you’ll stay home because your vote doesn’t matter - then think again. Everyone who can vote in this election absolutely must vote. Here’s why: Trump will contest the election result if it looks close. He might even claim victory before all the votes are counted. So we need a massive turnout of voters for Biden. Joe needs a win so big and so obviously that there can be no denying who the next president will be. A huge win for Biden is the best defense against Trump trying to steal back the presidency. This year more than ever, when you vote you’re not only fighting for yourself, you’re fighting for the rest of us, too. We’re all in this together. So, are you ready? Let’s go! Time to fight, time to vote, time to live, Nora Winsler P.S. Wondering what's next for climate policy after the elections? RSVP for our climate policy outlook Zoom call ith Bill McKibben, Senator Chris Van Hollen, and more on the evening of November 9!
