Dear Friend,
We appreciate you so much! You volunteering by hand writing postcards, getting on phonebanks, doing text banking, Beacon of Hope Precinct Adopting, voter registration distribution, voting and getting friends and family to vote, social media sharing in English and Spanish, contributing, state-based local engagement organizing, story sharing and video creation to spread the word about voting, and so much more…. all came together to help fuel historic voter turnout. THANK YOU!
Now we wait. We expected it would take longer than usual to count the votes from this election because, due to the pandemic, there were many more vote-by-mail ballots than normal in states where that type of voting is new. So the fact that we don’t have full results yet is not a concern. In fact, it’s the opposite: It’s great that so many people voted that it’s taking extra time to count the ballots!!
It doesn’t make it easier to wait though! And we bet you have questions!
A lot is going on right now. We know you have lots of questions about what is happening with the election. Don’t worry–we have you covered!
Waiting is hard, especially when you care so much about the outcome. But this election had record voter engagement resulting in record voter turnout and that’s good for our democracy. We are proud that our high-impact Moms Voting programs reached more than 20,000,000 mom voters and helped turn out voters in record numbers this year– and especially proud of the many voters who persevered despite polling places that were shut down, ballot drop boxes that were taken away, long lines they had to wait in for hours with their children, and confusion caused by dishonest, deceptive calls and emails. We want every vote to be counted, a result that reflects the will of the people, and a peaceful transition if there is a transition.
So we’re bringing the MomsRising community together to talk through what is going on, what the next steps may look like, and what YOU can do. We will be holding a Post-Election Webinar tomorrow, Thursday, November 5th at 8:30pmET/5:30pmPT. *RSVP HERE.
We will be joined by partners and experts who will provide up-to-date info on what is happening with the election results, what we can expect in the coming days, and how you can take action to protect our democracy and make sure every vote is counted. We also will answer some of your questions.
We know you are probably not the only one in your friend group and family who is wondering “What the heck is going on!?” so after you RSVP, forward this email to anyone you think might want to join our webinar as well and post our RSVP link to your Facebook and Twitter page. If you are not able to join us tomorrow live, that’s ok. We are going to record the webinar and post it on our blog, so you can watch it afterwards.
We will get through this together and make sure that every vote is counted! Thank you again for ALL you’ve done to lift democracy!
