ACLU Supporter –

There's no question that we're facing a real and existential threat to our basic human rights – and to the fundamentals of American democracy.

We watched this threat grow when Donald Trump was elected to the Presidency in 2016 and as the January 6 insurrection unfolded last year.

But in a week's time, we all have the chance to hold our elected officials accountable at the polls – and to demand that the civil liberties of all of us are upheld in this country.

That's why our team is reaching out today to make sure you know about the crucial on-the-ground work that the ACLU and our affiliates are pushing forward right now to educate and mobilize voters. Check out a rundown of this critical work today and get the voter resources you'll need to fight down the ballot for:

• The right to access abortion
• LGBTQ rights
• Voting rights
• Racial justice
• All our most fundamental civil liberties

ACLU Supporter, we know too well that the fight for our rights has moved in full force to the states. And it's the down-ballot races happening across the country for the midterms – for local officials and ballot measures – that will have a direct impact. It's also where your vote makes an enormous difference.

So please check out where we've been working to empower voters this election season – and then learn how you can fight for your rights at the ballot box, too.

No matter what, remember to vote for what matters to you in these elections – and to vote for the people who will protect what matters to you as well.

And together, we can and will fight for civil liberties – and protect the future of our democracy.

In solidarity,

The ACLU Team
