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… [1]
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.
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.”[3]
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!!!
Thanks for everything that you do, and for standing with us shoulder to shoulder in this fight!
—Ben Jealous, President
