John,

The extremists in Arizona are at it again.

A dangerous fringe group, “Clean Elections USA”, has recruited people to conduct an organized campaign to suppress the vote by harassing and intimidating voters at early ballot return boxes.

We are deeply concerned that this group’s actions at drop boxes in Arizona have and will continue to intimidate and discourage Arizona voters, including voters in the communities that Voto Latino serves, from voting. In particular, young minority voters may be intimidated by the presence of groups of sometimes-armed individuals filming, photographing, or following voters at drop box sites.

Voto Latino is committed to protecting Latino voting rights in Arizona and beyond. That’s why we’re seeking a temporary restraining order against Clean Elections USA, its founder Melody Jennings, and the individuals who have been gathering at and surveilling drop boxes . Will you pitch in now to support our work mobilizing Latino voters in Arizona and across the country?

​​Early voting and voting by mail are of great importance to the Latinx community in Arizona. In addition to its voter registration work, Voto Latino has focused its get-out-the-vote efforts on increasing Latinx vote-by-mail and early-vote turnout. We’re committed to making sure that Latino voters have a fair chance to have their say at election time. And that means we’re going to fight like hell against Clean Elections USA.

“No one should be subject to harassment and intimidation in the process of casting a ballot. The right to vote is sacred, and we can’t allow conspiracy theorists to use vigilante tactics to prevent anyone from casting their vote safely and without the threat of violence. We know from hard experience that some people are willing to make accusations of illegal voting based on nothing more than the color of someone’s skin. The tactics being used by Clean Elections USA aren’t just profoundly dangerous to voters in Arizona, they’re an affront to the fundamental principles of our democracy.” – María Teresa Kumar, CEO

Extremist groups like this know that when our young Latinos are organized and mobilized, our votes are an unstoppable force. That’s why they’re working so hard to stop us. Young Latinos turning out to vote in Arizona and nationwide will be a deciding factor in whether Democrats keep control of the House and Senate this fall.

Our team at Voto Latino is prepared to do whatever it takes to build Latino political power in Arizona and across the country. Will you rush a contribution now to help?
