Hi John!
If you've spent this year doomscrolling the news about Republican-led efforts to subvert our elections, you're going to want to pay attention to this.
Run for Something is alarmed —
terrified, actually — by these blatant attempts to undermine democracy, too. (And you know I don't hit the Panic Button lightly.) That's why we've launched
Clerk Work: one of the biggest investments in electing pro-democracy candidates to election administration positions across the country.
We're investing a whopping $80 million dollars between now and 2024, and we're working in every single state where election administrators are elected directly by voters.
Because when it comes to saving democracy, we're not fucking around.
Politico is saying our plan "represents one of the boldest organized attempts to put Democratic-backed candidates in [election supervisor] positions."
Here's the best part: We've found a generous donor who is
MATCHING every donation that you make to Clerk Work today. It's a lot of money, but when it comes to saving democracy, there's no price tag too big.
If you're ready to be a defender of democracy, donate
$5
or more by MIDNIGHT tonight to DOUBLE your impact to make sure people who believe in free and fair elections are running ours.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Right-wing media outlets are already fuming about this — that's how we know we're doing it right. We cannot and will not sit back and let Republicans and the far-right attack our freedom to vote, our elections, and ultimately our democracy.
Election subversion in 2024 may not look like a violent mob storming the Capitol — instead, a bad-faith county board in Michigan or a conspiracy theorist running elections in Kansas will have enough power to undermine the entire process. Malicious incompetence will be enough to do serious damage.
Clerk Work is how we stop this from happening, but it comes with a steep price tag. Donate
$5
or more right now to DOUBLE your impact and make sure the 2024 election isn't our last.
Let's go,
Amanda Litman
