The new, sweeping legislation in Texas further restricts already limited voting access and raises the intimidation factor to a truly frightening level. In order to safeguard eligible voters’ rights, our work is needed now more than ever. That’s why we're urgently raising funds for an on-the-ground organizer in Texas and the other pivotal states with increasingly alarming laws ahead of 2022. Obtaining voter ID can take months – sometimes many months, which is why I’m asking you to invest today to scale up our partnerships and expand our fully-paid voter ID assistance to the communities that need it most in the wake of these new laws. We can achieve success only with YOUR active involvement. To make this happen, please consider making your most generous donation (whether that’s $15, $50, $500 or more) at our secure donation portal now. By acting today, you are ensuring that your contribution will result in our reaching and helping citizens who face special challenges in securing the identification they need to vote as well as access housing, employment opportunities, and more. VoteRiders’ staff and trained volunteers’ work with communities, including people experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, and returning citizens who are no longer incarcerated, is effective and impactful in helping all Americans exercise their freedom to vote. Thank you so much for your past support and for stepping up to give today! Roy Speckhardt, Development Director for VoteRiders PS: Please share this with your friends and family so they can have the opportunity to join you in making a difference for democracy. | |
