Simple: We elect hundreds (or hopefully, thousands!) of diverse young progressives to the local offices that administer our elections.
The people who serve in our local election offices are instrumental in what our voting experience looks like. These individuals impact how easy -- or burdensome -- voting can be in our local communities.
In places where our candidates have won, polling places are opened on native reservations where tribal members previously had to take 2–3 hour round trip drives to vote. Mobile polling places are opened to allow for more accessible voting and more.
Imagine that kind of commitment to democracy and access in every single state, county, and town in America. It's JUST as powerful as a federal law.
Our fight for the freedom to vote doesn't end with the Senate. Chip in
$5
or more to support diverse young progressives running for election admin offices.

A fun fact I learned earlier this week is that nearly a
third of all current local election admins serving are eligible to retire before 2024.
Let that sink in for just a moment -- one out of every three election administration offices may need to be filled between now and the next presidential election.
Do we want them filled with Trumpists or with pro-democracy candidates who will protect our freedom to vote?
That's why I keep saying we need diverse young progressives running for and winning these offices.
Keep our fight for the freedom to vote going -- support diverse young progressives running for election admin offices by chipping in
$5
or more.
Let's go,
