John,

Our friends at WeTheChange ([link removed]) invite you to their upcoming event, SoS Power Hour: Letter Writing Campaign to Secretaries of State ([link removed]) this Tuesday, October 20, 2020 at 4pm PT/7pm ET. As business leaders with a strong commitment to the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, we are inspired to act and do everything we can to ensure that this coming election is not only fair and just, but peaceful, and with every vote counted. Let's come together and send letters to our Secretaries of State urging actions for safe, fair, and just elections.

Here are the actions we are asking these SoS to implement:
* Make a public announcement no later than October 25th committing that your office will not call election results until all mail-in ballots are counted.
* Starting no later than November 1st, provide regular pre-election public updates on (a) the number of ballots already received via mail-in or early in-person voting processes, and (b) the percentage of mail-in ballots still outstanding;
* Affirm that your efforts to prevent voter fraud has made it vanishingly rare, and pledge to uphold the professionalism and nonpartisan nature of our civic responsibilities
* Take active steps to prevent political violence, voter intimidation, and illegal polling place activities, maintain safe voting environments, free from voter intimidation, and provide regular public updates on the measures in place;
* Act swiftly to refute attempts by any media, candidate or party to unlawfully limit or prematurely conclude the counting of all ballots, including refuting announcements of loss of victory made prematurely before all eligible ballots are counted.
* Pursue every available option to provide for a safe and secure early and absentee voting experience, including abiding by the US Election Assistance Commission’s best practices on ballot drop box administration and by endorsing the utility of ballot tracking technology.

We are thrilled to announce that SVC member Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry's ([link removed]) will be joining us for a few minutes to offer inspiration and support!
Join us TOMORROW at 7pm ET for the SoS Power Hour with #WeTheChange! ([link removed])
