Hello,

Vox News: “The institutions may not hold next time… the 2020 election should help us understand that's not a guarantee.”

Recently, Vox published an article about what went wrong in 2020 -- besides Donald Trump. One takeaway was that we need to be more mindful of politics year-round: watching out for misinformation on social media, ensuring electoral laws are strong and just, and preparing for 2022 right this second.

We have some of the most engaged supporters in the world. The way you stepped up to help us flip the White House and the Senate is proof positive of that.

But engagement always drops after elections. And after a huge (and well-earned!) celebration like this inauguration? We can expect gifts to plummet, civic engagement to wane, and Republicans to get back to their old tricks in the shadows -- only to sneak back up on us next cycle.

Let's stop that cycle before it starts.

We don't have the funds we need because Americans don't have the funds they need. It's unfair of us to ask you after you've been through so much, and done so much, but for the health of our democracy, we're asking anyway: Chip in to help us do the work of preparing our institutions for the next stress test? Right now complacency is our biggest foe. By taking action now, you're safeguarding the future of our democracy.
