Make an impact on dozens of voters

The smartest way you can make an impact on this year’s elections. {NAME}, I’m writing to let you know about the smartest way you can make an impact on this year’s elections. You know well what's at stake -- but so do wealthy megadonors, with over $15 billion projected to be spent this cycle. [1] And sadly, most of that money won’t go to anything that matters – just endless TV ads or right into the pockets of political consultants. If you are looking for a way to cut through the noise – and to give in a way that will actually move the needle on issues you care about – I urge you to consider sponsoring an Election Protection volunteer today. Our volunteers help voters when they need it the most, from the primaries all the way to Election Day and beyond: when they're facing confusion or suppression at the polls. As a friendly, pro-voter face, they’ll help overcome obstacles to the ballot by providing both advocacy and access to resources. Thanks to our training and support infrastructure, these volunteers are empowered to assist dozens of voters across a single shift – making the difference between a voter casting their ballot, or going home in frustration. {NAME}, this will be the first presidential election since the January 6th attack on our democracy. Since then, extremist state legislatures have cooked up more than 60 anti-voter laws: making our work together more urgently needed than ever. So with your help, we’re fighting back, working directly with affected voters to help them exercise their most fundamental right.                 Believe it or not, we're now less than two weeks from Election Day, and unfortunately, our funding is behind what it needs to be if we’re going to build out the volunteer support network voters deserve. But we’re not giving up – and already, we are deep into training volunteers on the state-by-state rules around elections. It costs $50 to train, equip, and place each volunteer. And to be fully prepared for what’s to come, we need to field 10,000 more volunteers, which means we need to raise $500,000 between now and Election Day. Thankfully, we’ve got a great head start. A fellow Common Cause member has donated $250,000 towards this goal in hopes of inspiring others to support our work. With your help, we can multiply the impact of his gift to fully fund our Election Protection program through November’s election and beyond. [Now I need your help to fund the rest. Can I count on you to chip in $50 – enough to train and place one volunteer – or anything you can afford to help us reach our most important deadline of the year?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [SPONSOR A VOLUNTEER FOR $50!]( Thanks for all you do, Elena Nunez, Senior Vice President of State Operations and the team at Common Cause --------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Common Cause’s work to defend and strengthen our democracy is powered by members like you.
