Pamela, as I write you, our team is finalizing our plan to defend voting rights in Florida. Support our work today and ensure every voter can cast their ballot safely >>
Pamela,
Here in Florida and across the country, voters are already facing a new wave of anti-democracy tactics: suppressive laws, misinformation, confusion, even intimidation.
And with the stakes as high as they are, these threats will likely only escalate as we get closer to Election Day.
The truth is, unless we speak out boldly against those whose path to power requires taking away our rights, their schemes to suppress voters and undermine our democracy could very well succeed.
That's why Common Cause Florida is preparing to push back.
Our Protect the Vote 2024 efforts are already in full swing. And thanks to the incredible response from members like you, dozens of passionate volunteers have already stepped up to defend voters' rights in our communities.
That's right, Pamela. Floridians everywhere are joining this unprecedented volunteer effort by getting trained on our state's laws, helping educate their fellow voters on their rights, and preparing to ensure that all of us can cast our ballots without fear or obstruction.
But we need to ramp up our efforts. We know that election deniers will stop at nothing to block our path to the ballot box. That's why we're expanding our volunteer training program and stepping up recruitment — to ensure that every voter's right to cast their ballot is protected.
With your help, Common Cause Florida plans to field even more nonpartisan election protection volunteers at the highest-need polling places in our state and across the country.
Here's why this matters in Florida: The most powerful impact you can make as a voter and advocate is right here, on the local level.
Every single vote counts — not just for president, but for who will represent us in Congress and the state legislature, or in our city councils and school boards deciding on local measures that affect our daily lives. By supporting our local efforts, you're helping keep our elections fair and protecting our freedoms from those who seek to restrict them.
Your support makes all the difference. On average, it costs $50 to recruit, train, and place one volunteer at a high-need polling location in Florida. And that one volunteer can help hundreds of voters navigate any obstacles and cast their ballots with confidence.
Pamela, thousands of Floridians are counting on your support to help them cast a ballot, free of suppression or intimidation. Will you chip in $50 (or whatever you can spare) today to help sponsor a volunteer and protect the right to vote in Florida and beyond?
Every contribution brings us closer to our goal — a safe and fair election for all. With your support, we will continue to protect our democracy and empower every voter.
Thank you,
Amy Keith, Executive Director
and the team at Common Cause Florida
