Voters are facing suppression tactics in more ways than one

Boston Globe: Not everyone can vote by mail. Protect in-person voting too.

Expanding mail-in voting is important. But -- we must protect in-person voting too, Diane.

If we fail, we risk shutting out people who are historically least likely to vote by mail -- low-income and young voters with nonpermanent mailing addresses, people experiencing homelessness, voters who need language assistance to fill out their ballot, voters living with disabilities, and black voters.

Unfortunately, we expect to see these same communities disproportionately impacted by the economic hardships of the pandemic. AOTL has launched and supported advocacy tools across the country demanding fair, accessible elections. We must protect the right to vote. But -- we cannot do this work alone.

Without safe in-person voting options, many voters may be excluded from the political process. Will you pitch in to help us build a movement strong enough to provide safe, fair, and accessible elections for communities who need it the most?

A recent op-ed from the Boston Globe rolled out a roadmap to protecting in-person voting that should be the standard across the country. Solutions such as keeping neighborhood polling locations open, recruiting new poll workers, implementing safety protections, and expanding in-person early vote to weekends and evenings. Together, these reforms would help ease concerns of voting in-person amidst a pandemic.

Do we need to keep pushing for universal vote-by-mail? 100%. However, we have to make sure that we're protecting those who must vote at the ballot box.

We must protect in-person voting while also expanding vote-by-mail. President Obama has said supporting All On The Line is one of the best ways to get involved in the fight to protect our elections. Can we count on you to donate today?

Together we're going to protect our elections and return our government to people like you, Diane.

Thanks for being a part of this,
Brian Gabriel
AOTL States Press Secretary

An urgent request​:

In times like these, we can't afford to have a president whose first concern is his own interests.
DemocratsJoin us.

So much is at stake in these next few months. The coronavirus pandemic has taken a profound toll, and emerging from this crisis will require a lot of hard work. Donald Trump has shown that when things get tough, they're someone else's job -- and that attitude won't get us anywhere.

The urgency to replace him and his allies with Democratic leaders who will guide our country with competency and compassion has never been higher. I'm prepared to do the hard work it will take to get us back on track, but I need you on board with us.

President Obama and the DNC launched the Democratic Unity Fund in order to build the strong party we'll need to win at every level. But with fewer than six months to go until the election of our lifetimes, time is running out to scale up key pieces of our 2020 strategy while we still can.

Can I count on you to split a $10 donation between my campaign and the Democratic Unity Fund today? It's going to take the strongest DNC in history to win the White House and crucial seats all the way down the ballot.


After the 2008 financial crisis, President Obama put me in charge of overseeing the recovery. Getting our country back on track was no easy task, and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate were integral to our success.

In short, there's no limit to what we can achieve when we elect leaders who share our values up and down the ticket -- and we must make sure that's the case in November.

If you're able, will you donate $10 to my campaign and the Democratic Unity Fund today? It's going to take early commitments from supporters like you if we're going to take back the White House, flip the Senate, and expand our House majority on Election Day.

Thanks for being in this fight -- stay strong.

President Obama's announcement

President Barack Obama announced the Democratic Unity Fund almost a year ago.
DemocratsJoin us.

Almost one year ago, President Barack Obama formally announced the launch of the Democratic Unity Fund:

The Democratic Unity Fund is a promise that no matter who earns our nomination, he or she will have a strong, united, and well-prepared DNC ready to lift them to victory. - Barack Obama

President Obama wasn't alone -- soon, nearly every presidential primary candidate, along with 191,528 grassroots supporters, endorsed the Democratic Unity Fund.

Now, Democrats are coming together to lift our party's presumptive nominee, Vice President Joe Biden, and Democrats down-ballot to victory in November.

Image of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. 'Join me in supporting the presumptive nominee -- my longtime friend and vice president, Joe Biden -- and Democrats in all 50 states.'

This is the moment the Democratic Unity Fund was made for -- and we cannot slow down one bit. While the Democratic Unity Fund is already improving the data and technology that power thousands of Democratic campaigns across the country, there's still so much to do right now -- while it's still early enough to have a major impact on Election Day.

Here's what we have on file to you:

Your Democratic Unity Fund Supporter Record:

Donate $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund to help elect Joe Biden and Democrats down the ticket this November.


What we're able to accomplish in the coming months is going to have an incredible impact on our party's success in November. And though our world has changed drastically in the last few months, it remains true that there's more that unites our party than sets us apart. By powering the tools that campaigns use to contact voters and train organizers, the Democratic Unity Fund is critical to bringing our party together to elect VP Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide.

We don't have a Democratic Unity Fund gift on file for you just yet. If you can, I hope you'll donate to support the important work we're doing to elect VP Joe Biden to the White House, take back the Senate, hold our House majority, and elect Democrats down the ticket. We're putting in the elbow grease to scale up key programs right now -- so your support today would mean so much.

Make a $7 donation to support the Democratic Unity Fund and build the strong DNC Democrats nationwide are counting on to win.

Thank you for being on this team,

Clarke

re: Obama's announcement and Virginia

Momentum is on our side, but we're counting on you to help us finish strong.
DemocratsJoin us.

With all the dire news in the world right now, I wanted to take a moment to share three points of good news about the Democratic Unity Fund -- and then ask you to make your first contribution to the fund:

  1. As of today, this is how many people have contributed to the Democratic Unity Fund from Virginia:

    There are many Democratic Unity Fund donors in your state.
  2. Since President Obama announced the fund last May, over 191,535 Democrats have come together to support it.

    Image of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. 'It's the best way to make sure Democrats win up and down the ticket this year.' - Barack Obama
    That's crucial, because the Democratic Unity Fund is key to avoiding the mistakes our party made in 2016. Together, we're making sure Vice President Joe Biden and Democrats down the ticket are in the strongest position possible to win in November.
  3. We're already putting the Democratic Unity Fund to work, implementing strategic programs that will help Democrats up and down the ballot.

    Battleground Build-Up 2020 states
    Running Battleground Build-Up 2020 in these 12 battleground states wouldn't have been possible without this team coming together to support the Democratic Unity Fund early on.

That's the good news -- but that doesn't mean we can stop now. The Democratic Unity Fund is designed to support investments in organizing, advancements in data and technology, and more -- and the earlier we can scale investments in that work, the better.

We're counting on committed supporters like you to help Democrats continue to ramp up these important programs, because truth be told, the stakes simply could not be higher.

If you can, make your first $7 gift directly to the Democratic Unity Fund today. Whatever you are able to give now while it's still early in the race will have an outsized impact come November.


Thanks for your ongoing support.
