Background

Everyone deserves to exercise their right to vote, and everyone deserves to have their vote counted -- without interference or intimidation.

Democrats work for their constituents and support free and fair elections. More people have voted for Democrats in every recent election. Yet gerrymandering and myriad other forms of voter suppression have overridden our will, resulting in GOP minority rule.

Trump and his GOP have failed us as leaders. They are losing this election, and they are desperate. Trump broadcasts his intention to disrupt our election. His GOP breaks Senate rules to pack SCOTUS with yet another unqualified Trump appointee who'll they hope will hand them the election, cement their minority rule, and ensure their interests usurp our rights.

We outnumber them. If we join together, we can overwhelm Trump and his GOP enablers with our votes and resist their attempts to undermine our will and our democracy. To do this, we must:

Work tirelessly to get out the vote.

Demand there be no SCOTUS confirmation until after the inauguration.

Insist all Members of Congress state publicly that election season ends only when we have all voted and our votes have been counted.

We will vote. We will resist. We will be heard.
