John,

2021 has been a year like no other. There have been countless threats to our democracy, from the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to the passage of highly partisan, restrictive voting laws across the country.

These assaults on our democratic system and repeated stresses are challenging the very foundation of our democracy.

It’s clear: our democracy is on the line. And your help is critical to protect it.

Because of your support, we’re laying the foundation for a multifaceted, multiyear campaign to make sure the 2022 and 2024 elections are free and fair — on top of continuing to leverage our bipartisan credibility to win reforms that will fix our broken political system.

We have to do more than ever before to make these crucial efforts a reality. Your support this Giving Tuesday allows us to expand our initiatives to build a democracy that works for all Americans!

I know many of us are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic, and we are truly thankful for every contribution. I’m always so encouraged to see the unwavering support of the Issue One community; you continue to step up and believe in the work we are doing, and the promise of American democracy. Thank you.

From all of us at Issue One, thank you for your support this Giving Tuesday.

Thank you,

Nick Penniman
CEO and Co-founder, Issue One
