Election Protection is the first line of defense against these anti-voter threats.

Trump made his choice. He promised to make life less expensive, but now voters feel like he failed to deliver. His solution? Keep those voters from ever holding him accountable. That's what explains his obsession with Congress passing his new law: he's hoping he can control the outcome of the 2026 midterms before a single vote is even cast. Just last week, Trump announced a total shutdown on signing new laws – including anything that would actually fix the cost-of-living issues he promised he'd solve. His ransom demand: ramming through his new law that would take away millions of Americans' right to vote. Common Cause is lobbying fiercely, with your help, to stop this anti-voter bill from becoming law. But even if we're successful, we have an even larger threat: Trump's clear desire to silence voters and secure unchecked power. Don't take our word for it: he's admitted openly that he wants to pass his law to "guarantee the midterms." [3] Here's an actual guarantee: the 2026 midterms will be free, fair, and secure – but only BECAUSE millions of people like you stood up and took action for what's right. This is why Common Cause is ramping up our Election Protection program to ensure that the midterms are decided by voters – not by Trump and his cronies. Election Protection is voters' first line of defense against any attempt to deny their rights. Each election cycle, we recruit, train, and deploy thousands of nonpartisan volunteers as the initial line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, and any other challenges voters face when going to the polls. These volunteers answer questions, help voters overcome barriers, and ensure every ballot is cast and counted. So, Pamela, if you're worried about Trump and his attacks on our democracy – and about what they mean for our country's future – you aren't alone. AND here's something you can do about it. It costs about $50 to train and deploy one volunteer from early voting through Election Day. So, I am asking you today if you will sponsor one of these volunteers. (or however many you can!)
