CRISIS: From the twisted mind of Elon Musk comes VoteSafe-a grifter’s ploy to steal/sell YOUR data while pretending to protect your vote. SOLUTION: Check your voting status. Try IWillVote.com 866ourvote.org or your Sec of State’s office. Your vote is precious. That’s why Elon wants to suppress it.

CHALLENGE: This fall we MUST vote in numbers too big to challenge. SOLUTION: Make voting a social event! Grab some friends & vote together on DAY 1 of voting in your state. Then go grab a bite or a coffee (or a🍷!! ) together. TIP: Use 866ourvote.org to update address, registration & polling place.

PROBLEM: Every day brings new outrages from this administration. No wonder we’re feeling stressed & helpless. SOLUTION: Get involved! Join a bridge brigade. Write postcards to voters. Call your legislators using 5calls.org. Don’t just thank others for their activism. Join in! It’s crucial you do!!

**We know that Trump and his Big Lie cronies are plotting to do everything they can to undermine our elections in 2026.** Whether it’s trying to end mail-in voting, targeting registration programs, blocking vote-counting, even trying to ban states from encouraging people to vote – it’s going to be no-holds-barred from them this year as they try desperately to block the free and fair elections. But we’re going to cut through the noise, and we’re going to be ready for whatever dirty tricks they try. And we’re going to do it with community power and preparation, not panic. **Hands Off Our Vote is Indivisible’s national program to ensure all eligible voters get to cast their ballot, and that those ballots get counted. We’ll help you be ready to respond to any attacks, and we’ll shine a light on the bad actors threatening our basic constitutional rights.** By signing up you’ll get notified of key voting deadlines in your state, get updates on any threats to your voting rights and learn how to counter them, and be ready to mobilize in defense of your vote. You’ll also play an important role in rapid response moments whenever and wherever they try to pull those dirty tricks.

PROBLEM: Trump’s businesses are suing Capital One over “debanking”-tho it was a money fraud issue-while DOJ is shielding him & his family from past IRS tax claims. He controls the government that’s protecting him. America 1st or Trump 1st? 🤔 SOLUTION: Stop the corruption. VOTE BLUE! www.Vote.Org

PROBLEM: As his approval plummets-again-to new lows, Trump’s pushing petty policies like withholding FEMA funds to states he doesn’t like. (The blue ones. Shocker.) Beyond outrageous. SOLUTION: Americans must turn out in #’s too big to challenge & vote for Dems in the Nov. midterms. www.vote.org

PROBLEM: Trump’s war has cost us $37.5B so far & Hegseth is asking for more! SOLUTION: That $ could be used to forgive student debt currently around $1.7B or reinstating ACA tax credits-$14B. Instead it’s being spent on an endless illegal war. Vote this majority OUT! www.Vote.org Cartoon: A.Telnaes

PROBLEM: That increase you’re seeing at the pump? It’s going to get worse thanks to the illegal costly war Trump started nearly 5 months ago—& is unable to stop. SOLUTION: VOTE OUT the enablers in Congress! Elect representatives who’ll follow checks and balances against this President. www.vote.org

PROBLEM: Repubs are gerrymandering as fast as they can. It’s disastrous for American democracy, taking us back to the ‘60s. SOLUTION: MASSIVE turnout of voters on Nov 3. Dems MUSTmust win every election w such wide margins that results can’t be contested. Check your registration at VoteAmerica.org
