John,

Election officials and poll workers are on the frontlines of our democracy, managing a vital part of our democratic infrastructure. But in recent years, they have become targets of pernicious disinformation campaigns aimed at sowing doubt about our elections.

Issue One is honored to co-host a national virtual screening of the new documentary film, “No Time To Fail,” which follows the lives of Rhode Island's election teams in 2020. The film shows the human face behind our elections, and the extraordinary sacrifice and dedication these public servants bring to their work. The film will be preceded by a discussion featuring election officials and experts Jocelyn Benson, Al Schmidt, Tiana Epps-Johnson, and Tommy Gong.

Register now to attend a free national virtual screening
of “No Time To Fail” on October 27 at 5 p.m. ET.  

One filmgoer said the film is an “example of vital, important documentary filmmaking.”¹ And according to Roll Call, “the documentary shows how public servants ensure voters are able to participate in the American experiment”² all while dealing with a pandemic and an onslaught of disinformation and threats.

Register now for this eye-opening look into the central role election workers play in making democracy work. You don’t want to miss it.

The roundtable (requires a separate registration) at 3 p.m. ET brings together individuals at the forefront of election administration to discuss the challenges facing these stewards of democracy as we approach the midterm elections.

RSVP for this important discussion.

Hope you’re able to attend,

Dokhi Fassihian
Deputy Chief of Strategy and Program, Issue One
