How you can fight voter suppression

If you’re interested in helping to protect democracy, now’s the time to act.  {NAME}, we know what to expect in the next few weeks: last-minute polling location changes, heaps of online disinformation, and other dirty tricks to suppress voters. We’re already seeing it in states like Wisconsin – where a local mayor attempted to silence his own constituents by removing the town's only ballot drop box in a shameful publicity stunt. [1] And unfortunately, these anti-voter schemes are just getting started. For first-time and at-risk voters, these changes can be overwhelming – and without your help, could mean they go home without casting their ballot. Voters have already been harmed by new restrictive voting laws passed since the 2020 election. That’s why we’re fielding tens of thousands of trained, nonpartisan volunteers at high-risk polling sites across the country – to help hundreds of thousands of voters make their voices heard. For the Common Cause team, protecting the 2020 election against those threats – and ensuring the will of the people was ultimately respected – is one of our proudest memories as an organization. We won’t stand for these schemes to sow distrust in our elections. We have volunteers standing ready to inform voters of attempts to restrict voting access and point them in the direction of alternative voting locations. {NAME}, if you’re interested in helping to protect democracy, now’s the time to act. Your contribution today will go a long way toward making sure every voter can make their voice heard in this critically important election.
