This comes after Texas decided not let their voters use Covid-19 as an excuse to vote by mail.
It is very important to empower voting in support for every voter to be safe while getting their voices heard during this pandemic.
The fundraiser will go towards supporting the March for Science hashtag campaign #VoteForScience a science advocacy community that will help voters educate themselves on how to properly vote in person safe and sound.
“As a Texan who is not allowed to vote by mail during a pandemic because of our state’s short-sighted election laws, it’s a powerful reminder that we need elected representatives who will embrace science and listen to public health officials,” said the President of March For Science, Matt Tranchin.
The Voto Latino Foundation will also be supported by the fundraiser. They educate the Latinx community across the country on issues affecting them. They empower them to go out to vote to get their voices heard.
“With a pandemic raging during an election year, this country should be investing in every possible measure to keep voters safe,” said Danny Friedman, Managing Director of Voto Latino. “No one should be forced to choose between their health and their vote. Unfortunately, the state of Texas does not allow COVID-19 to be used as a reason for mail-in voting. Voto Latino Foundation has registered 215,964 voters in Texas, and each one of them will be making their voices heard in November, despite the state’s intransigence.” Register to vote here https://votolatino.org/article/register-to-vote/.
