Dear Friend,

In 2021 we saw a tidal wave of Jim Crow 2.0 tactics, from threats against election workers to election sabotage efforts at the local level to the more than 580 anti-voter bills that were introduced in almost every state legislature across the country.

Yet, in the face of these challenges, together we have also achieved a number of victories for voters in the last year—and we want to share just a few of them with you, Friend. 

With your support, Fair Fight Action continues our mission of advancing a multi-racial, multi-generational democracy where every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot, have their ballot counted, and make their voice heard. This has included orchestrating a first-of-its-kind Fly-In of dozens of voters from 16 states who traveled to Washington, DC to share their personal experiences encountering barriers to the ballot and demand federal action to combat voter suppression and establish national voting standards, organizing over 83,000 voter calls to Congress, and memorializing Georgia’s ongoing discrimination in voting in the Congressional Record. 

While advocating for federal protections for voters, alongside our allies, Fair Fight Action simultaneously supported battles at the state level in the face of more than 580 anti-voter bills nationwide. Together, we helped mitigate the harm of these anti-voter bills, including defeating provisions that would have:

• Ended no-excuse vote by mail in Georgia

• Imposed strict photo ID requirements on vote by mail in Arizona; and 

• Dramatically restricted student voting in New Hampshire.

This is just the beginning of our fight for voters, Friend. Will you reinvest in our mission in 2022?

Voters are the reason we do this work; they are at the heart of our plans and advocacy efforts. Fair Fight Action has crafted our 2022 goals with voters in mind:

• Continuing our innovative advocacy at the federal, state, and local level to advance pro-voter goals and mitigate the harm of voter suppression, and building voter protection programs that respond to the unique threats 2022 presents.

• Advocating for voters in the courtroom as we are going to trial. Our Fair Fight Action lawsuit, filed in 2018, against the Georgia Secretary of State and State Election Board challenging their discriminatory election practices is going to trial on February 7, 2022.

We remain on track to move towards our North Star of ensuring every vote is protected, every election is fair and free, and every voter’s voice heard.
