Dear Friend,

In 2020 and 2021, voters turned out in record numbers to make their voices heard. In response, the nation witnessed Jim Crow 2.0.

Just weeks after Georgia’s first Black and Jewish senators were sworn into office, state legislatures across the country began filing hundreds of anti-voting bills. Black people were removed from local boards of elections, and poll workers were forced to confront rising threats.

But once again, we rose up. We came together to advocate for federal legislation to protect the freedom to vote for all eligible Americans. Working together, we made ourselves heard: the freedom to vote is essential to our country, and to this moment in our history.

To say we are frustrated would be an understatement. We share that with you. Last night, 52 U.S. Senators failed to uphold their duty as public servants by refusing to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.

Yet while Senators Manchin, Sinema, and their Republican colleagues have chosen to ignore the pleas of their constituents, it’s important you know this: We have heard your demands, and we share them. From Hot Call Summer through Freedom to Vote Fall, we made our voices loud and clear. And the 48 Senators who voted to change the rules heard us, too.

You made it clear that we cannot tolerate barriers to voting for voters of color, veterans, voters with disabilities, rural voters, new Americans, or young people. That we cannot tolerate efforts to remove or harass local election officials. And you made it clear that the freedom to vote is intrinsic to the issues that impact our daily lives. For this reason, we will keep fighting. We are in this fight for the long haul, and we are in it with you by our sides.

While we did not win last night, our resolve persists. We need you in this fight with us. [[link removed]]

Fair Fight Action will not waver. We are committed to continuing our work on the front lines—along with local, state, and national allies—to protect the voice and vote of every eligible American.

In just a few short months, voters across the country will cast their ballots in primary elections. These primaries will only serve as a small preview to the obstacles we’ll face in the November Midterms.

Ensuring that every eligible voter can register to vote, cast a ballot, and have that ballot counted fairly will be no small feat. It will take all of us, working together, to fulfill the promise of our democracy.

Let us be clear: We will need you. We will need poll workers, pro-democracy poll observers, volunteers to document peoples’ experiences with voter suppression, and folks working on the ground to get voters the resources they need.

This is how we were able to support voters of color in 2020 and 2021 to ensure their voices were heard. And it’s how we plan to do so again in 2022. Fair Fight Action will be working around the clock to provide ways for you to join in this fight.

History has already made clear that in moments like this, it is up to us to carry the fight forward. We have faced and overcome staggering odds before, and we are prepared to do so again in 2022. We will continue to do what we do best: advocate, organize, and mobilize. We will never stop fighting on behalf of voters everywhere. Join us. [[link removed]]

Thank you, always, for your dedication and investment in our mission.

— Team Fair Fight Action
