Friend –

I'm confident that, by now, you know how much the November elections could impact everything from access to abortion to LGBTQ equality to the right to learn.

I hope you also know how much you can impact these elections.

You can help stop racially-motivated voter suppression barriers from denying people the right to vote. You can help ensure election deniers don't subvert our democracy. And you can help mobilize people to get out and vote like their rights depend on it.

The one thing you can't do? Wait.

With the midterms almost here, we need you to act right now. Please, make your generous donation today and let's fight back with the relentlessness and tenacity that are hallmarks of the ACLU.

This election year could have devastating consequences in our lives – because elected officials up and down the ballot have a massive and direct impact on key civil liberties and civil rights issues:

Governor and LGBTQ+ Rights

Governors can sign into law or block legislation that offers protections and equal access to services for LGBTQ+ people in their state.

Secretary of State and Voting Rights

In many states, the Secretary of State is the state's chief elections officer responsible for the administration of our elections, and can expand people's voting access through various policies.

State Supreme Court Judges and Reproductive Freedom

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, state courts will likely be the final arbiters to decide whether reproductive freedoms are protected in the states.

School Boards and the Right to Learn

Local school boards can pass classroom censorship efforts restricting discussions about race and gender, or they can work to proactively uphold the rights of students and educators to teach and learn about these issues.

We can't say it enough: Elections matter. That's why the ACLU is going all-out to protect and expand voter participation. And that's why it's so important that we hear from you today.

Please, make your immediate gift to the ACLU today and help us protect our democracy and protect our future.

We don't know what our opponents will throw at us in these final weeks. But, I'm confident that with your support, we'll be able to take them on, to take back our power and to get to work creating a more fair, just, and equal future.

Let's do this,
