Harris,
Local election workers are underpaid, under protected, and under attack, and instead of backing them up, Washington is pulling the rug out from under them. Again.
We're talking about the people who actually run our elections, the ones who keep the lights on, the ballots counted, and the process fair. Right now, they're staring down cyberattacks, harassment, MAGA-fueled sabotage, and a flood of AI-powered lies. And yet Congress still hasn't committed the $825 million they already know is needed to stabilize the system.
Back in 2020, even under Trump, we funded election security at that level. But in 2025, with democracy hanging by a thread? Radio silence. DHS has frozen election security programs. DOJ is dismantling its voter protection infrastructure. And extremists in state legislatures are shoveling out unfunded mandates designed to make voting harder for people of color, low-income communities, and young voters.
Here's the hard truth: if Congress fails to act, they're surrendering to the liars, the saboteurs, and the cowards who want to break this country and call it patriotism. We've seen what that looks like. We're not going to see it again without a fight.
Help fight for safe, secure, and accessible elections. Tell Congress to allocate $825 million for local election protection now!
$825 million is the floor. Not the ceiling. If we can spend trillions on tax breaks for billionaires and endless wars, we can scrape together the money to protect the one thing that gives any of us a say in what happens next. Anything less is a disgrace.
Every year they underfund elections and hand the extremists another opening. Every time they delay, they reward the chaos. Every time they pass the buck, we pay the price.
You want to see what happens when democracy runs on fumes? Look around. Voting machines are older than TikTok. Election workers are quitting in droves. Threats, smear campaigns, and dark-money pressure on every level of the system. And still, Congress pretends democracy defends itself.
We're demanding real funding for real election protection. No more backroom cowardice. No more bipartisan lip service. Just the dollars that local election officials need to do their jobs and keep the vote safe.
Let's stop duct taping democracy and start defending it. Tell Congress to fund our freedom to vote. Allocate $825 million for local election protection now
Let's demand real election funding.
