Action 1: Sign up by TONIGHT - Michigan Canvassing on Sunday
Next door in Michigan, the fight is on right now to preserve access to abortion and save democracy in this key battleground state. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is all that stands in the way of a right-wing Republican legislature seeking to criminalize abortion and subvert free and fair elections.
On Saturday, July 17, join us for a day of door-knocking and talking to voters about issues that matter to us all. For those interested in carpooling, we'll be meeting at Backlot Coffee for an 8am departure (everyone will be asked to test for covid and wear masks). Please indicate your travel preferences and canvassing experience below. (times are CST). Please sign up before TONIGHT, Friday evening, July 15.
Action 2: TOMORROW - Support the Disclose Act
Over $1 billion of dark money was spent in the 2020 election cycle alone, according to Open Secrets. Organizations backed by anonymous donors funded and organized the Trump rally on the morning of the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Right-wing dark money is also funding attacks on our fundamental rights including reproductive freedom!
This weaponization of untraceable money has enabled corporate and special interests to push their agenda in Washington without ever being linked to their toxic advertisements or lobby efforts. Thankfully, we have a solution. The DISCLOSE Act would take crucial steps toward protecting our democracy by shining a bright light on the dark money that corrupts our system. It's time for the Senate to make the promise of democracy real by taking the imperative step of exposing secret, dark money spending through passing the DISCLOSE Act.
Write a Letter-to-the-Editor to your local newspaper and make your voice heard on the continued need for Congress and the White House to tackle secret money by passing the DISCLOSE Act. Join us for a virtual letter-writing event TOMORROW, Saturday, July 16 at noon.
