Get All Your Election Options Here!
ELECTION DAY - FOUR WEEKS FROM TODAY!
Happy Tuesday, Activists!
We hope you had a great weekend and stayed dry. Today we have a compendium of election protection and election information for you. We've put the info in past newsletters and today we have a shorter listing of all of it for you.
And first, don't forget our fantastic fundraiser event coming up soon. This will be an amazing evening where we learn and talk about how staying on target and doing all we can get to the success we need.
Our No Kings events are expensive and we need to stay on track to tell the world that we will not stop until we get the country and democracy we demand. And SUFFS shows us the perfect example of this! You can watch the show here. Click here and donate to attend and to RSVP.

 This No Kings is all about securing the vote. We do that in two ways: 1) Election Protection efforts, which you saw above, and 2) Banking the votes early - where we encourage voters to sign up for a mail-in ballot and to drop their voted ballot off in a drop box or at a Satellite Election Office early. Or to Vote On Demand, also, above.
We'll be at the Satellite Election Offices around the city and at City Hall. Two things for how to sign up: Here are the locations of the SEO offices here and tell us which office you want to go to here. And then sign up for a shift here.
We'll show voters how to Vote On Demand at these events around the city.
And it'll be fun! We'll have balloons, signs, maybe some food and music (if you'd like to provide some music reply to this newsletter and let me know!).
When: Saturday, October 17, 2 shifts 10:00 - 12:00 & 12:00 - 2:00 Where: See the locations of the SEO offices at this link and then tell us which office you want to go to at this link. Sign up for a shift at this link.
