From Mara Gerstein:

Dear Friends,
with T-6 days until voting ends in 2020, here at The People we are cycling between anxiety and HOPE. We are also filled to the brim with gratitude to our brilliant partners, generous donors, and the network of talented creatives, data geeks, and political wizards who have made our work this year possible. 

Together, as part of our Statehouse Media 2020 program, we produced 200 digital ads for 24 inspiring candidates and are running targeted digital distribution programs to flip the State House in Texas and Iowa and to break the Republican supermajority in Kansas. These states and districts were selected for maximum leverage in strengthening our democracy at the state level.

To date in 2020, this $1.5M program has resulted in our candidate videos being viewed by in-district voters IN THEIR ENTIRETY over 10 MILLION TIMES (and counting). 

So check out the ads for these talented candidates and share them with folks in our target states!

TEXAS PLAYLIST **** IOWA PLAYLIST **** KANSAS PLAYLIST

Inevitably, some of these races will come down to 100, 10, even ONE SINGLE vote (recall that in Virginia 2017, control of the entire State House came down to a tied race with the winner chosen via hat pick!).

So if you can, please consider a final donation to help get candidates in our closest races over the line.

She moved from East Hampton to Houston last year and continued her volunteer and activist work in support of a blue wave.

Today:

“Lines were around the block for early voting yesterday! “

Yesterday:

Texas is voting! Wish us luck!

Up before dawn for a rally with Beto and hundreds of supporters before two weeks of early voting starts at 8 am. There is still a lot of getting out the vote but we could not have asked for a more all-in year-long effort from a candidate than we’ve gotten from Beto. Thank you for your support over the past months. See him in action in the attached clip. Meg. “
