Contact your state senator and representative and urge them to support HB 5448 to protect elections workers! It has become apparent over the past few years that election workers need protection.

Local news outlets spark civic engagement and voter turnout, and their collapse poses a threat to our cities and towns due to increasing polarization and misinformation. We can reverse this trend through reallocation of funding.

Act now! We anticipate a vote on CAMPAIGN FINANCE OMNIBUS BILL by Saturday night.
