Good morning If you have any interest in voter protection work, but were not sure how to get involved, here is your chance. Join the awesome folks at NOPE this Thursday, May 21, at 7:00 p.m. EDT to learn about voter protection and how you can get involved. You could register voters, educate voters about election rules changes, help voters fix errors on their mail-in ballots, staff a voter hotline, or be a poll watcher – and more. Most of this work can be done from home, and training and support are always provided.

Register here to hear from VoteRiders, VoPro Pros, and Red2Blue about your options and to meet the NOPE voter protection team. (Note that the confirmation email will come from NOPE’s partner, Third Act.)

And here, from Robert Hubbell, are my daily notes to help prevent despair:

“We are shaping our future every day. If we believe that there is no hope and that people are intrinsically bad or lazy or cynical, we should expect them to act accordingly. But if we appeal to their better angels and exhibit trust in their desire for a more tolerant, just, and decent America, they will respond in kind. Let’s lead by example. Don’t give up on the American people—and they will not give up on us.”

We’ve got this.

PS. Don’t forget today’s protest at Brian Mast’s office. 11-12.
