It’s not about us. This is a heads-up to the energized and enthusiastic young voters who are being drawn to the Harris campaign in huge numbers. You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile and specious personal attacks based on her race and gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided.

Let nothing stop you from getting to the polls. Because Election Day 2024 will decide who will govern and uphold democratic values.
