VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
Jump to today’s actions:
Background
Trump is enriching himself during COVID-19 and using the pandemic to further sow chaos in an election he’s losing. Our health and safety mean nothing to him.
Biden and Harris want to ensure that you can vote and protect your health and choice by taking a strong stance on:
Supporting and expanding mail-in voting.
Pledging to address modern racist voter suppression tactics and signing a new Voting Rights Act.
Stopping lies and election disinformation by foreign governments and domestic campaigns in social media
Meanwhile, Trump is weak, failing and flailing. His taxes show a failed business fraud. The bill for his financial shell game is coming due and he will do anything to remain in office to protect himself, including:
Working to destroy the Post Office and lying about mail-in voting and while using it himself.
Suppressing voters, particularly Black Americans.
Using social media to sow election chaos through disinformation and lies.
The GOP push to get an ultra-conservative, anti-choice, anti-ACA Trump acolyte on the Supreme Court prior to the election only heightens the importance of voting.
Make your plan to vote NOW. Help family and friends make their plan to vote NOW. Work to get out the vote NOW.
