This is Heather and the Donuts + Democracy team, with an urgent update regarding voting by mail.
The Supreme Court signaled it may allow Donald Trump's executive order attacking mail-in voting to go into effect in time for the midterms. And there's now a USPS whistleblower report warning that if Trump's order goes into effect, USPS's new "data portal" could result in millions of ballots not being counted.
Trump, Republicans, and the Supreme Court have made clear that they will do everything they can to interfere with voting by mail.
They know that college students — the most progressive voting bloc in America and the most angry about Trump and Republicans' policies — will be particularly impacted. 45% voted by mail in the last election!
To stop this fascist power grab and help Democrats win the 2026 midterms, we need to make sure that young people know how to get a mail-in ballot, and where and when to drop it off. We need to ensure that they can overcome all of the roadblocks the Trump administration and Republican state legislatures have put in front of them.
We have a plan to do just this! With your help, we will host over 500 voter education, registration, and get-out-the-vote events over the next two months on college campuses in must-win districts and states. Our events are big, fun, and draw a crowd. Why? Because every event we host has tons of donuts, sunglasses, and more. We make it a party that everyone wants to be part of.
If you're not familiar with our work, you might say, "Really? Donuts?" But trust us, it's the most effective way to engage young voters!
Our Donut Wagons are on college campuses across the country right now. What we do is simple but incredibly powerful: We show up with donuts in locations where young people are. We have real conversations with them about voting. We explain the stakes and help them make a plan to vote.
Can we count on YOU to help us reach the young voters who plan to vote by mail? We've got a plan to help progressives WIN!
Show your support today. Even just $1 makes a difference. Please give more if you can.
Help make sure the most powerful, progressive voting bloc — 50 million eligible young voters — are able to vote. Together, we can make Trump's attacks on voting by mail BACKFIRE!
