Friends -

As you read this email, hundreds of volunteers are texting thousands of Californians asking them one simple question:

“Do you oppose the far-right Republican recall attempt of Gavin Newsom?”

Today, I am asking you to do the same, but I want to take it one step further. This is important:

Add your name to say you support Gavin Newsom against the far-right effort to overturn his election in this recall campaign.

Right now Republicans across the country are proposing hundreds of voter suppression bills in dozens of states that would limit an eligible voter’s registration access and ability to vote.

We often focus on these suppressive efforts and don’t stop to recognize the progress of our allies — like those in California — who have made positive reforms focusing on transparency, ingenuity, and equity in our elections.

The truth is, not only has Gavin Newsom courageously led California through a global pandemic — putting health, science and equity at the center of the state’s response, but he has made it easier for people to vote in his state.

Republicans have fought him every step of the way on both issues, and now they are trying to overturn his election.

Now he needs us with him in this fight. Tell me you are:

Add your name to say you support Gavin Newsom against the far-right Republican recall attempt happening in California.

What we have proved in Georgia is that when people organize and make themselves heard, there is nothing that can stop us. That’s what we’ll need to do in California to defeat this Republican recall attempt.

Thanks for adding your name.
