Dear
CODEPINKer,
In
the midst of election madness we need to stop worrying and start
acting. Many of you have been spreading the word with our "I
am a Voter for Peace"
pledge and with Tuesday around the corner now is the time to bring
peace to the polls. Here are some effective and fun ways you
can paint the polls pink:
If you haven't pledged to vote for peace
yet, do
it today (there are prizes!)
Vote early! There are only a few days
left but every little bit helps -- visit govote.org
to see where you can vote early
Increase the peace vote by calling
women around the country and encouraging them to vote. We're partnering
with Women's Voices Women's Votes and we will send you a
short script and 25 phone numbers to call this weekend! How inspiring
is that? Click
here and we'll send you what you need to inspire those
who need it!
Check
out our voter protection tool page for more creative
ways YOU can protect this election
When you vote next Tuesday, there are many ways you can carry
the message of peace! The lines are sure to be long; here
are some things you can do to engage with your neighbors, and turn
Election Day into the celebration of Democracy it deserves to be:
- Bring
pink lemonade to make the wait easier
- Bring
crayons, markers, construction paper, coloring books, etc for
kids (it's great for kids to see democracy in action!)
- -Download
and bring copies of Greg Palast's Steal Back Your Vote
comic book
- Be
sure to take note of or even bring a camera/video camera to document
any instances of voter suppression, visit www.866ourvote.org
or call the toll-free voter hotline, 1-877-523-2792
Last but not least- sign
up to be in action in case of a stolen election. We don't
like negative thinking any more than you, but let's be real. We
need a plan. For months we've been in conversation with our
partners at the No More Stolen Elections coalition and we
encourage you to be out in the streets at 5pm, November 5th at your
Federal Building -- share this info with friends and neighbors!
You can also list your event on our
calendar.
 November
4th is a day to celebrate! Election Day is our day--it
is the day for all of us to stand up and be counted, to make our
voices heard.
It is our day to exercise our voice.
Thank
you for giving peace a vote and a voice!
Voting
for peace every day,
Dana, Deidra, Desiree, Farida, Gael, Gayle,
Jean, Jodie, Liz, Lori, Medea, Nancy, and Rae
