An inalienable right

Our right to vote is precious - it's one of the most important blessings of our democracy. Say you'll help protect it.

Diane --

Fifty four years ago, millions of Americans marched on Washington, D.C.

They came from all walks of life -- young and old, black and white, of many beliefs and backgrounds -- but they marched for an extraordinary vision.

They marched for the America they knew they could build if enough of them stood together as citizens. They marched for justice, equality, and freedom.

They marched for the right to vote.

And now, fifty four years later, we're still speaking out.

This month, OFA is launching a new initiative to get more people registered to vote. We need supporters like you to get involved.

Still today, right now, across the country, there is a deliberate, systemic attempt to make it harder to participate in the democratic process. Efforts like these disproportionately affect the members of our most vulnerable communities: students, seniors, minorities, the poor and the disabled, and those in rural areas.

We must not let that happen. We must continue to work for a more inclusive democracy.

President Obama likes to say that you and I, as citizens, have the power to set this country's course. He's right -- and that power comes from the ballot.

It's the most powerful tool we have in our democracy, and it's in our hands. Let's use everything we have to protect it, and make sure we understand what a privilege and duty it is to act on it.

Say you'll stand with OFA supporters to protect a Fair Democracy.

I'm in


Thanks,

Jennifer
