John,

My wife just pulled herself away from the TV to bring our fast asleep
daughter upstairs to bed and I'm sitting here feeling sick to my stomach.

I am so ready to be sure, to plan for a future where my family is
protected, and safe. I know so many of us are feeling that way -- to know
that communities won’t have to face racist attacks, immigration raids and
violence.

We are ready to begin campaigning for all the things that were impossible
for the past four years -- a sane climate policy, trans rights, expanded
immigration, police reform....

But instead we are still in it, in the muck, the fight, the scary
uncertainty of a contested election. There is a lot we don't know about
tomorrow, but there are also things we do know and we can do.

* We can show up, safely, with masks, to protect the results and make
sure votes are counted, certified and the right result is upheld.

* We can call our Secretaries of State to urge them to count every vote,
and to support them in the tough job of certifying results even when
foreign interference and disinformation is trying to make it all seem
fake, uncertain and unknowable. [ [link removed] ]Click here to find your Secretary
of State's number. 


* [ [link removed] ]We can call on platforms like Facebook and Twitter to make sure
that they aren’t used by domestic terrorists and fake news sites to
undermine a peaceful and fair election outcome. 


And then we prepare to fight for a transition of power, to push for peace
in our streets, to stand up to terrorism, violence, intimidation and
corruption. The SumOfUs team will be sending emails in the next few days
with ways to make sure we are impactful as a whole community.

And together, I know we can get through this week, these next months of a
waning Trump Presidency, and the new era that we hope Biden/Harris will
bring.



With hope and determination,
Emma and the SumOfUs team
