We are nearing the end of 2021 and our democracy is at stake.
This year alone, 19 states have passed at least 33 laws that make it harder for Americans to vote. The folks most targeted and harmed by these anti-democratic policies are often Black communities - from voter roll purges in 2020 to poll closures in 2021.
At Groundwork Project, we are committed to protecting democracy by empowering hyperlocal community organizers, advocates and activists like our first Official Groundwork Partners: the Black Voter Impact Initiative, Mississippi Workers’ Center, and United Women of Color. Friday at midnight is our first end-of-year filing since launching Groundwork Project. Our 2021 finances need to send a clear message about the strength of our movement and our ability to protect democracy in 2022.
GWP needs another 197 grassroots donors by Friday at midnight. Can we count on you to be one of them?
It has been a brutal year for voting rights. We must invest now to build our warchest for the battles ahead in 2022. Republicans continue to run on election fraud lies and anti-democratic ideals — we must be prepared to fight back.
Give now to empower Groundwork Project and our partners before our first end-of-year deadline.
