Thank You For Making Your Voice Heard
Thank you for exercising your right to vote. Thank you for making your voice heard. Thank you for standing strong in the face of unprecedented voter suppression and refusing to be silenced. And thank you for fueling our work to empower voters across the country to do the same.
Our voter engagement work is only possible because of grassroots support from people like you – people who believe in getting into Good Trouble and making our voices heard, just like John Lewis taught us.
Regardless of who you voted for or which side of the aisle you stand on, the 2026 Midterm Election was a victory for our democracy. It was a victory over restrictive voter ID laws, racial gerrymandering, partisan redistricting, ICE intimidation at the polls, voter purges, and every other voter suppression tactic wielded against the American peoples’ right to a voice in our own future.
On Tuesday, you stood up to voter suppression and refused to be intimidated into silence, and I know John and Lillian Miles Lewis would be proud.
Congressman John Lewis was harassed, jailed, and beaten bloody protecting the right to vote for EVERY American. But he never gave up the fight, and he never surrendered his voice in our democracy.
Today, it’s up to us to carry on his vital work. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and we’re committed to continuing the fight against voter suppression in the years ahead. It’s our mission to protect the right to vote for EVERY American, just like Congressman Lewis taught us.
And we’re proud to have you standing with us in this fight, Neil.
Thank you for participating in our democracy.
Thank you for exercising your right to vote.
Thank you for carrying on the Good Trouble legacy.
With deep gratitude,
- Michael
