There's no doubt: this election is critically important

URGENT: Early voting is already underway in states across the country!

There are only 35 days left until Election Day and Republicans are ramping up their voter turnout efforts. We need every last Democrat to confirm they’re voting this year so we can finalize our strategy to help elect Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot.

But we’re still missing critical responses from your city, team!

Confirm now:
Will you vote in the 2024 elections?

YES

UNSURE

I ALREADY VOTED

Team, there is way too much on the line this year for us to leave anything to chance. Especially since the GOP has nominated candidates who want to ban abortion, restrict voting rights, attack our democracy, cut Social Security and Medicare, AND ruin the progress Democrats have fought for.

Just look at what’s happening across the country!

North Carolina: GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson said he wants to ban abortion at “zero” weeks. And new reporting shows that he called himself a “black NAZI!”
New Hampshire: Kelly Ayotte, the Republican nominee for governor, played a critical role in helping confirm far-right conservative Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and led the charge for a national abortion ban.
NATIONWIDE: Donald Trump has promised to attack LGBTQ+ rights, shred environmental regulations, and threaten tens of thousands of federal employees. And that’s just on day one!

It’s never been more important to elect Kamala Harris and Democrats like Josh Stein in North Carolina and Joyce Craig in New Hampshire who will fight back against the GOP’s far-right agenda.

But we’re still missing data on whether local Democrats are voting this year – and that includes YOU:

Answer now:
Will you vote in the 2024 elections?

YES

UNSURE

I ALREADY VOTED

We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
