Stay in the Fight

The foundation of fair and free elections rests within the states. Our fundamental right to vote depends on the assurance that citizens have the opportunity to vote and that their votes will count. The responsibility to see that this happens lies with governors, state legislatures, courts, secretaries of state, boards of elections, county election commissions, town clerks, poll workers, and poll observers, and with citizens. State elections are key to protecting American democracy.

Since 2017, Lean Left volunteers have given their time, energy, and money to citizens in other states who are working hard to protect the vote, voting that ultimately affects all of us. 

We are now asking you, in the words of Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint: “Do what you can, when you can. You can’t do it all. Change takes time. Stay in this fight. . . .” 

If we stand together, if we support each other, we will make progress.

We must make sure that pro-democracy candidates are elected at the very local level all the way up to state legislatures, governors, and state supreme courts. State legislatures are one of the strongest lines of defense against the extremist trifecta at the federal level.
