Hello Freedom lovers!
The elections are Nov. 2, just 87 days away. As the elections get closer we can make a difference.
Ezra Levin says: Sign up for the first two Hands Off Our Vote trainings: Election Protection 101 on August 19, and Election Protection 201 on August 26 (8pm ET/5pm PT). In this two-part virtual training series, we’ll explore how to get out the vote, become a trusted messenger, prepare for election defense scenarios, and get in formation for fall activations. (The two sessions will build on each other, but it’s okay if you can only attend one.)
It’s critical to get into election protection formation now -- not wait until the final days or weeks before November 3. Trump has made it exceedingly clear that he will use every possible mechanism -- legality be damned -- to block free and democratic elections, undermine democracy, and subvert the will of American voters. He raided the offices of the Fulton County election hub and an Ohio voter registration nonprofit, orchestrated the wave of gerrymandering that could eliminate as many as a dozen Democratic seats, and tried to get rid of mail-in ballots -- and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
