We wanted to take a moment to say thanks.
Thank you for remaining vigilant and steadfast in your support for free, fair, and accessible elections in the face of mounting voter suppression tactics.
Thank you for understanding that there are no “off years” when it comes to protecting your right to vote.
In this season of gratitude, we want to thank you for enabling Project Vote to fulfill our mission of protecting and empowering marginalized American voters.
You are a part of a growing sea change across the country. A community of elected officials, activists, and voters who see the Supreme Court’s Shelby decision not as an end, but as the beginning of us owning the fight for our most fundamental of rights and demanding that the story of our democracy not be one of disenfranchisement.
We all know that 2013 was not an easy year for voting rights, and with the mid-term elections next year, we have a lot of work to do to ensure that all eligible Americans can register, vote, and cast a ballot that counts.
With your help, Project Vote is working to advance a pro-voter agenda to modernize registration and voting systems and help more citizens register and vote. We’re advocating for same day registration, early voting, permanent portable registration, and online voter registration.
From enforcing compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, to protecting registration drives, and fighting against voter roll purges and attempts at voter disenfranchisement, the work ahead will span over two dozen states. In New York, Kansas, Texas, Florida, and many other states, Project Vote will continue the important fight to ensure the right to vote for all eligible Americans.
If you’re reading this, we’ll likely be active in your state.
As you make your final giving decisions of 2013, remember why you give. You give because you can make a difference, in your state and beyond. The future of this country is dependent upon free, fair, and accessible elections. And the work to create a democracy that works for everyone is dependent upon support from people like you.
Your gift made by midnight will be tax-deductible for 2013 and will help us hit the ground running in the New Year.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
