John,
In 2020, CHN’s election outreach team helped turn out voters from marginalized communities to vote on the critical issues of human needs. Since then, conservative state legislatures in 19 states have passed 34 restrictive voting laws to disenfranchise voters and make it more difficult for people to vote.1
This includes gerrymandering districts, targeting mail-in and early voting, removing ballot drop boxes, politicizing elections administrations, establishing biased elections reviews and more. Already this year, 27 states have introduced or carried over 250 more bills to make it harder to vote.2
For this year’s midterm elections, we have to work even harder to make our democracy accessible to low-income and marginalized communities.
Help CHN expand our elections outreach team to reach more voters in 2022 and ensure everyone is able to access their constitutional right to vote. Pitch in $5 today!

In 2020, when billionaires spent a record $1.2 billion in the presidential election, CHN countered that influence by empowering working people, helping turn out record numbers of Latino voters in Georgia and across the country.3 We didn’t tell them who to vote for, but we did tell them how much was at stake. We made sure they knew how to cast an absentee ballot or to vote early. We told them how to register to vote. We helped with translating voter information into Spanish.
But now, there are even more hurdles for voters to jump through to ensure our voices are heard at the ballot box. That’s why we need to expand CHN’s elections outreach team immediately to reach voters before the midterm elections.
Pitch in today to fund our election outreach efforts and ensure voters have the resources they need to make their voices heard!
