Snacks to Wisconsin 2020
Donation protected
Help us get *SNACKS, WATER, WARM DRINKS and CHAIRS* to voters in Wisconsin standing in long lines at the polls on November 2nd & 3rd (Election Day)!!
We are four lucky Portlanders (Nora Colie, Cambria Matlow, Karina Lomelin Ripper and Marc Ripper) without a line to stand in due to Oregon's universal mail-in-voting.
So, we have decided to drive to Wisconsin, one of the most important swing states in this election . Our goal is to offer food and refreshments and provide chairs for those who may need a temporary respite from standing. We want to ensure that Wisconsin voters’ bellies and feet are taken care of, so that lack of comfort or hunger do not become a deterrent to casting their ballots. No one should have to go hungry, or suffer unnecessarily, to vote.
In one of the most segregated states in America, our focus will be polling stations in the Black and Latinx communities, where people are already being asked to risk their health and safety to exercise their voting rights. Wisconsin is currently considered a hotspot for COVID cases. It is also where Republicans have worked hard to make voting very difficult for these communities.
With less than two weeks until Election Day, we are depending on the kindness of others to help us raise funds. Your donations will go towards a van rental, gas, lodging, and of course the SNACKS! Any leftover funds will be donated to a relevant Wisconsin citizen-support organization.
We need these donations by October 29th, to be sure to secure our van rental in time to make it to Wisconsin prior to election day.
Help us support these crucial voters by donating to our campaign today.
Thank you all for your generosity and kindness during this challenging election year! We will get there, together.
Much peace and love!
Nora, Cambria, Karina and Marc
