Hey friend — it’s Katy.
I want to talk for a minute about what this moment looks like from the organizing side of things, because voter protection isn’t abstract to us. It’s real people. Real confusion. Real consequences.
When our Secretary of State fails to provide accurate voting information to every single voter, it's the organizers who get the panicked texts:
“Am I registered?”
“Why did my polling place disappear?”
“Why does the website have my information all wrong?”
Right now, we’re anticipating more of those messages than ever. Thanks to a failing Secretary of State website and some sneaky machinations from the GOP.
With select Texas counties switching back to precinct-only voting, precinct lines being redrawn, and state systems failing, word of mouth is more crucial for voter info than ever. And guess who does word of mouth better than anyone? Organizers!
Our organizers, volunteers, and trusted messengers are stepping in where the state won’t. But organizing at that scale takes resources. Want to chip in right now to help us make sure voters get the info they need? (Seriously, I’d appreciate it so much!!! Even a contribution of $12 or $25 right now would go such a long way to helping.)
Our Voter Protection Fund — what we’re raising to fund right now — helps us:
- Do everything we can to provide whatever information the Secretary of State isn’t getting out to every voter
- Train volunteers to share correct voting info
- Get accurate resources into voters’ hands fast
- Support organizes working county by county to fight misinformation & suppression
Grateful to be in this fight with you,
Katy
