Dear People For Member,
The final debate is taking place TONIGHT in this year’s most important
election -- in which early voting has already started.
If voters know the truth about Trump-endorsed, far-right extremist Glenn
Youngkin in Virginia, there’s no way he can win the race for governor in
this critical bellwether state that, together, we’ve worked so hard to
turn blue. But so far, his lies and obfuscations seem to be working; he's
currently polling AHEAD of Democrat Terry McAuliffe… ^[ [link removed] ]
Our triple match offer from a generous donor expires at the end-of-month
deadline, September 30 -- but the work we’re asking you to help with is
happening RIGHT NOW.
[ [link removed] ]So we’re asking for your financial support; can you rush in a
triple-matched contribution today to help keep Virginia blue?
We need to be ready to expose Youngkin’s lies in tonight’s debate -- lies
about his positions on COVID vaccinations, his positions on abortion, and
so much more ... positions that put him squarely at odds with a strong
majority of Virginia voters.
Nearly 70% of Virginia voters support vaccine requirements for teachers
and staff and mask requirements in schools, and fully 55% support
businesses requiring vaccines for employees.^[2] And yet far-right
candidate Glenn Youngkin has come out against school mask mandates, and
encourages college students to opt-out of vaccine requirements for
“whatever reason.”^[ [link removed] ]
We need your help to expose Youngkin as the anti-science,
anti-public-health radical that he really is.
People For is ready to pivot quickly and meet the high stakes of this race
with rapid-response ads to expose Youngkin’s hypocrisy and obvious
unfitness to lead. But we’ll only be successful if our supporters like you
chip in and help fund this program.
Thanks to a generous matching grant from one of our funders, all donations will
be 3X-MATCHED by the end of the month — but we need to raise the full $150K to
unlock the match!!!
[ [link removed] ]So, we’re asking: please make a 3X-MATCHED donation right away to win
Virginia and continue all the progress we’ve made >>
Thanks for everything that you do, and for standing with us shoulder to
shoulder in this fight!
—Ben Jealous, President
