Dear Friend,

The January 6 hearings are proving an incontrovertible point: The idea
that the 2020 election was fraudulent is alive and well.

Voters are being fed disinformation on a regular basis -- lies about where
and how they can vote and even if they can vote. That's why our Your Power
Is Your Vote program, launched in 2020, is so critical. We get the truth
out.

But here's the thing: Since President Biden was elected, we have lost
nearly 30% of our recurring donations -- support that we use to build
long-term programs like Your Power Is Your Vote. And if we don't make up
that shortfall in the next few days, we'll have to cut programs like this
way back.

the disinformation that keeps people from the polls. Will you donate to
help fund Your Power Is Your Vote? Your donation will be DOUBLED by a
generous donor.

In 2020, California saw the largest voter turnout since 1952, with more
than 7 in 10 eligible voters filling out their ballots.(1) But that still
leaves millions of voters whose voices are not being heard in our
government.

And exercising our right to vote should never be confusing, intimidating,
or inaccessible, which is why Your Power Is Your Vote provides the
following services:

* Getting factual information about voter eligibility to residents
* Voter registration and absentee ballot requests
* Ballot tracking
* Voting instructions for all 58 counties
* The Know Your Power blog, which helps build understanding of
California and national politics

This is just the beginning: We have long-term plans for education programs
in California high schools, get-out-the-vote programs in low-turnout
neighborhoods, and more, to reach 100% participation in California.
However, fundraising shortfalls mean we may have to cut back on these
ambitious plans.

The Your Power Is Your Vote program is a much-needed boost to our
democracy -- but we can’t make the program happen without your help. And
if you give right now, your donation will be DOUBLED by a generous donor!

gift will be MATCHED by a generous donor!

Yours in the fight for a more progressive nation,

Mai, Mai, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
