For the past 15 months, you've marched with us, rallied with us, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder in defense of democracy, constitutional rights, and our shared freedoms. Together, we've shown up by the thousands - loud, visible, peaceful, and impossible to ignore.
Protest is only the beginning. Lasting change requires more than showing up - it requires organizing, educating, engaging, and most importantly, voting. That's why Pasco Resists has launched Voices & Votes, our voter education and mobilization project. Our mission is simple: transform the energy of grassroots activism into sustained civic participation and an increased number of informed voters from across the political spectrum. We aim for a record voter turnout in the November midterm elections to save American democracy.
Since March of 2025, your generosity has provided the resources needed to build and sustain this work: from walkie-talkies, tents and coolers to flyers, buttons and supplies that keep volunteers organized, supporters taken care of and community events running effectively. Today, those needs also include the digital tools that help us communicate with supporters, educate voters, coordinate volunteers, and mobilize communities. Essential services like Canva, Constant Contact, GoDaddy, and Zoom allow us to expand our reach, strengthen the efficiency of our organization, and turn engagement into action. These aren't simply expenses; they're investments in the infrastructure that powers this movement. They enable a small but determined team of volunteers to keep organizing, informing, and mobilizing at a time when the stakes are nothing less than the survival of American democracy.
Whether it's $5, $25, or $50, every contribution helps accomplish that mission. Your support allows us to stay visible, remain engaged in our communities, educate voters, support volunteers, and continue turning concern into action, action into participation, and participation into meaningful political change.
If you believe in the value of what we're building—if you've attended an event, shared a post, volunteered your time, or simply believe that an informed and engaged public strengthens our democracy—we're asking for your financial support.
No one is coming to save us and democracy can’t defend itself. It endures because ordinary people like you and me choose to work together to protect it. Between now and November, there is no slowing down, no time to rest, and no room for complacency. The work is intensifying, the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been rising, and your support now is crucial.
In power, resolve and solidarity, thank you!
