THANK YOU DU

Yesterday, the MICAH Project and America in Solidarity of Tacoma, Washington launched the first ever NATIONAL GUARANTEE YOUR VOTE DAY. This was in response to numerous news reports of rampant voter purging and other forms of manipulation. We had asked that everyone verify the status of their voter registration by either getting online, calling your state or local elections officials or going in person to your auditors office. We also asked that you text, blog, email or phone all those with in your network to ask that they do likewise and spread the word in the same manner.

Thanks to you we had 108 congregations in 6 denominations, an NAACP Branch, the Central Labor Council of our state, 4 newspapers and 16 other organizations along with individuals in 46 states (we missed MS, AL, SC and UT) take part. We had roughly 1.1 million emails initiated (doesn't include those who responded to the call to action, which would be secondary emails) and about 1.4 possible reads on blogs or electronic newspapers.

We will continue to work on making this an annual national event.

To those at DU thank you so much for help and participation...on to November and on to next year and future years...may we turn this nation even bluer!!!!

Together in the Cause,
