Friend -
Tonight's presidential debate in Westerville, Ohio will highlight the choice Americans have before us next November. In 2020, we as voters get to decide the direction of our country and the kind of future we will build together by casting a ballot.
But thousands of voters in Ohio may have been denied their constitutional right to vote, if not for the heroic work of volunteers and voting rights advocates, due to improper purges.
That's because Ohio, like Georgia, has a history of purging voters from registration rolls for political benefit. Most recently, Ohio planned to remove 235,000 voters from the rolls until volunteers and voting rights advocates identified nearly 40,000 voters wrongly included on the purge list.
Now more than ever, we need a national conversation about threats to our democracy.
Add your name if you share our belief that tonight's debate should address the realities of voter suppression and the need for election reform.

Across our country, voters face a growing threat from a time-tested voter suppression tactic called voter purging, where seemingly neutral rules for removing voters who have died or left the state have become tools for political benefit to silence the voices of thousands of voters.
We know that no assault on democracy will ever be limited to its targets.
And the unfortunate truth is that for Republicans who have used their control over state governments to undermine our democracy through extreme gerrymandering and voter suppression, these improprieties are a feature, not a flaw.
Thank you for all you do for voting rights,
