There will be no end to dirty tricks in election 2020 by the Trump campaign, but we can fight back. We have to. We may not see truly free elections for another generation if we don’t.

But what exactly can we do? Plenty.

We’ve launched our 60 Days Of Action campaign, offering ideas for protecting our democracy, even with small actions every day. Check out the full list below, and start filling on your calendar. From writing postcards, to checking in with friends, to hosting voting parties, there is so much you can accomplish between now and Election Day, November 3.
