Harris Unveils $25M DNC Get Out The Vote Project

July 8, 2021 Democrats, Politics

Vice President Kamala Harris announced Thursday that the Democratic National Committee will invest an additional $25 million to expand its voter access initiatives ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

According to the DNC, the $25 million investment will go to efforts aimed at registering millions of new voters, assembling a voter protection team to use the courts to counter efforts to limit polling access, defending voting rights, and beating back legal challenges to election results.

Speaking at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Harris said: “This is the fight of our lifetime. Americans have successfully blocked some anti-voter bills from becoming law — and others are being challenged in courts.”

Proud to announce @TheDemocrats are launching a first-of-its-kind, party-wide effort to fight to protect the fundamental right to vote. Watch live. https://t.co/Wo5I5p8krw
