A false choice

American lives and our democracy are on the line due to Republican voter suppression efforts and we need your help.
DemocratsJoin us.

Nobody should be forced to choose between staying safe and casting their ballot -- tragically, that is what Trump and Republicans are pushing for across the country.

We saw it in Wisconsin, where Republicans tried -- and ultimately failed -- to steal a state Supreme Court seat. And we're seeing it play out on the national stage, as Trump and Republicans wage a baseless smear campaign against vote-by-mail and other accessible ballot options.

Republicans are opposing accessible ballot options because they know that if the American people can vote, Republicans won't win elections anymore. Democrats believe that voting is at the core of our democracy.

That's why the DNC is fighting tirelessly to expand access to safe voting methods as Americans weather this pandemic -- supporting voter protection directors in 17 states, helping voters navigate the process of requesting mail-in ballots, seeking expanded access to safe in-person voting, and taking urgent legal action to protect the right to vote. As Democrats, we have no choice but to fight to protect the right to vote every way we can. It's hard work and incredibly expensive, but it's no less than what is called for in this moment.

Please make a $7 donation to help Democrats protect access to safe, secure, and accessible voting nationwide. This work is incredibly important -- especially in the midst of a crisis -- which is why your support is critical to defending our democracy.


Republicans are making their intentions clear as day: They want to make it harder for you to cast your ballot so that they can stay in office. Trump himself has even admitted it:

Donald Trump: 'They had things -- levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again.'

It's indefensible.

Now, more than ever, our elections must be made accessible -- and it's that core belief that drives the DNC's urgent work to push for expanded vote-by-mail and other common-sense reforms. Protecting the right to vote is difficult and expensive, and Republicans aren't going to make it easy. However, I know with the support of loyal Democrats like you, we can get it done.

If your situation allows, donate $7 to support the urgent voter protection efforts of the DNC and to elect Democrats who will protect the right to vote. American lives and our democracy depend on it.

We're in this together,
