PROTECT THE MIDTERMS
We Know You Care As Much As We Do
Our team has been working to improve U.S. elections for decades, so we know the challenges. Our experience means we have real solutions that work, including:
- Documenting and challenging election corruption
- Teaching voters how to monitor & protect their local election
- Changing laws to make elections more secure & accurate (via SMART Legislation)
We are currently raising $500,000 to protect the midterms. Through the deep generosity of our donors, we've raised almost $140,00 and are putting those funds directly into our #CountTheVote program - which is training almost 1200 election observers in 47 states. Please continue to share about this with your friends, families, networks, & influencers. This is a long-term project and we value your participation!
