MVP friends,

You might have seen this in the news … yesterday, the FBI raided our partners in Ohio, seizing laptops and even showing up at staffers’ homes.

We’re talking about organizers who are working day in and day out to defend our freedom to vote — and to make sure the will of the people prevails in Ohio.

We’ve been texting and calling with them over the past 24 hours, and now, at their request, we’ve set up a democracy defense fund to support their work to fight back.

Check out the Ohio Democracy Defense Fund here:

In solidarity,

Billy Wimsatt, MVP Executive Director
(On behalf of the MVP team)

p.s. - Obviously, this is a big deal … and it’s much, much bigger than any one org or state. This is the moment to show this administration we can’t be bullied into silence.
