[1]Voting While Black
Wow John -- we only have a few hours left in this decade! Can
you believe that?
Over 360 people have donated to support our end-of-decade push, but I’m
reaching out because we haven’t heard from you.
[ [link removed] ]You still have time-- join them to make sure we can come out stronger
than ever to win for Black people in 2020. Donate today before the year
ends.
Thank you,
Norm

Hey John,
You haven’t gotten an email from me before, but I wanted to introduce
myself. My name is Norm, and I’m the new Chief Financial and
Administrative Officer at Color Of Change PAC.
Usually, I stay behind the scenes, but with just a few days left in 2019
and a lot going down, I needed to speak up. 2020 is already shaping up to
be a huge battle for us--this month in Georgia, over 300,000 voters were
purged from the rolls, and another 230,000 are at risk in Wisconsin.
These purges disproportionately affect voters of color, students, and
low-income people.^1
Stacey Abrams lost the governor’s race in Georgia in 2018 by 21,000 votes.
The number of purged voters is 14 times more than that.^1
Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 by 22,000 votes. The number of voters at risk
of purge is more than 10 times that.^1
It’s clear we’re going to need to come out stronger than ever before to
protect Black voters and win for our people in this brand new decade. Are
you with us?
[ [link removed] ]Yes I’ll donate $20.20 before the year ends for a powerful 2020.
[ [link removed] ]Yes I’ll donate another amount.
We’ve spent most of this year making plans for 2020, and it has the
potential to be the biggest year in our history. Here’s some of our
vision:
1. Train and support thousands of Black leaders in cities and towns
across the country, many of which are historically ignored by
politicians, to inform their communities about the importance of the
2020 election
2. Elect district attorneys, Congresspeople, and governors who are deeply
committed to racial justice, and are accountable to everyday Black
people, not police, corporations, or the wealthy
3. Expand our cutting-edge digital technologies to reach Black folks like
no election ever before, including lifting up member voices with video
storytelling and using chatbots and text messages to have personalized
digital conversations with underserved Black voters
I’ll be honest with you John: my finance team and I know better
than anyone that these plans are going to take a lot of money to pull off.
But I’m reaching out to you because I know that if we can do all this,
then 2020 could change the course of our history.
John, the budgets I approve are largely made up of dollars from
people like you. So I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the
most important things you can do to support us. Will you make an
end-of-decade donation so we can win big for Black people in 2020?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll donate now to make this the decade of Black Joy and Black
Power!
Thank you for all you do,
Norm
