Dear John:
Trump just threatened to put cops and other law enforcement at polling places during the November election. As civil rights expert Kristen Clarke said, “This is an old and familiar tactic pulled right from the Jim Crow playbook and often specifically targeted at Black voters and voters of color.”
Donate now to help us counter Trump’s racist voter suppression scheme.
Trump’s plan to put cops at in-person polling places is a common, ugly tactic of white supremacist officials who want to scare away voters in Black communities. Trump doesn’t want people–especially Black people–to vote because he knows he’ll lose, so he’s trying to destroy our ability to vote at all during this pandemic.
That makes our efforts to get out the vote more important than ever, and we need immediate support to counter Trump’s voter suppression schemes. Can you chip in right now to fund our efforts to beat Trump in November?
Trump ran a racist campaign in 2016, he’s governed as a racist for four years, and he’s using Jim Crow tactics to destroy democracy and push another four years of racism. With Trump’s hand-picked megadonor at the head of the USPS working to wreck mail-in voting while the president threatens to put cops at polling stations, every single vote we secure is a victory.
Our national text and phone banking programs are reaching tens of thousands of voters in key battleground states with an effective persuasion and GOTV effort. If you donate now, we’ll immediately put your contribution to work countering Trump’s voter suppression efforts.
Trump’s Jim Crow playbook is a lethal threat to democracy. Help us fight back with your immediate donation.
Let’s show Trump that we’re all in this together–and we’re united against him.
Sincerely,
Bree Carlson
