Day 22: Daily Democracy Challenge (24 Days ’til Election)

It's Day 22 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.

Only 24 more days until the election and 3 more days until early voting! 

TODAY'S ACTION:

This isn't directly related to getting anyone elected, but it is directly related to fighting voter suppression. Today, Saturday, October 10 at 11am there will be a rally at the Texas State Capitol in support of Crystal Mason, who may be sent to prison for 5 years for unknowingly attempting to cast an illegal ballot.

Here's info on the rally.

Can't attend the rally? Pick up the phone and call Gov. Abbott's office. Ask him to pardon Crystal Mason for making an honest mistake and casting a ballot that was never even counted. No harm was done -- don't send Crystal to jail and separate her from her children for this. Gov. Abbott's number is: (512) 463-2000

She also has a GoFundMe as she fights for her freedom: https://gf.me/u/yr2ttp

Ready more about her case here.

TOMORROW! If you are in the Austin area, please join us for a socially distanced, masked, '90s-themed lit drop at 10am. We will be wearing our hottest neons, jamming to '90s throwbacks, eating donuts, and then sticking pre-printed post-its with election info on apartment doors. Safe, fun, impactful.
