TAKE ACTION: Do your part to stop voter suppression by signing up as an Election Protection volunteer today >>
We’re just a few short months away from the 2022 general election, when millions of voters will encounter harsh new anti-voter laws for the first time. Voters trying to prepare for these changes will face the threat of rising misinformation on social media, along with the usual last-minute dirty tricks designed to keep us from the polls.
That’s why every election year, we recruit, train, and deploy thousands of Election Protection volunteers across the nation. These trained, nonpartisan volunteers serve as voters’ first line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation, and needless obstacles to the ballot box.
Today, I’m personally asking you to join our Election Protection 2022 campaign to Protect the Vote. We provide all the training and resources you need to assist voters, and there’s a supportive community of fellow volunteers that’ll have your back the whole way. There’s a role for everyone — whether it’s helping voters from home, assisting voters safely in person, or tracking online disinformation. Sign up today >>
Nonpartisan Election Protection volunteers like you will be an important resource for voters as they face restrictive election laws, changes to polling locations or procedures, or anything else that could silence their voices. No matter where you live, voters in your community face obstacles to the ballot and need your help.
We’ll help you find the best way to get involved — whether that’s monitoring polling places, watchdogging social media for disinformation and voters in need of help, or reaching out to voters to make sure they know their rights.
Unfortunately, voters this year will face obstacles that have no place in a modern democracy — and these impediments to voting will hit communities of color the hardest.
We all know about the problems facing our democracy – confusing rules around the polls that differ from state to state, rampant disinformation, and more. You can be a part of the solution by volunteering as an Election Protection volunteer today >>
Thanks for all you do,
