Millions of voters may find themselves facing new obstacles at the ballot box this fall. Don’t worry — we have a plan to fight back no matter what’s thrown their way.

Since we launched our Protect the Vote 2022 campaign — our urgent response to GOP-led voter suppression laws and anti-democracy disinformation — we’ve helped voters overcome new restrictions in states like Georgia and Texas, recruiting and training thousands of volunteers to work in primary and general elections across the nation.

I’m inspired by how many Common Cause members have answered the call — volunteering hours of their time to fight voter suppression in their communities, ensuring every voter knows their rights, and vigorously pushing back against right-wing election denial.

With the possible exception of 2020’s record-setting mobilization, we have never signed up this many Election Protection volunteers before. That’s especially important in a midterm year, where far too many Americans simply tune out that an election is even happening.

But I’m glad to see you — and thousands just like you — know we can’t afford to let that happen this year.

Now here’s the challenge: We must rapidly scale up our volunteer training program to match this historic level of interest, sharing the lessons learned from the primaries this year while stepping up our recruitment efforts even further.

The result? With your help, we plan to field thousands more nonpartisan election protection volunteers at the highest-need polling places across the country.

We’re holding trainings as I write you — tailored to each state and jurisdiction’s specific election rules. And in an environment where we know there will be litigation and other last-minute changes to voting procedures, we’re equipping them so they’re ready for anything.

Each additional volunteer we field costs us $50. This covers the expert training, legal backup, and tech infrastructure to support them during early voting and Election Day. So, your $50 investment translates into hundreds of voters now able to cast their ballots free of fear or intimidation!

Thousands of voters across the country are counting on your support to help them cast a ballot, free of suppression or intimidation. Please act now to sponsor a volunteer today >>

YES, I’LL SPONSOR A VOLUNTEER!

It’s been amazing to see the difference our trained and dedicated volunteers have already made this year.

With your help, we’ll be able to repeat those successes nationwide — strengthening our democracy through voter participation, and building a better future for us all.

Thank you,

Sylvia Albert, Director of Voting and Elections
and the team at Common Cause
