Hey night shift peeps, not sure if you saw the afternoon post earlier this week. There were tons of posts that day, so this wasn’t on the front page by nighttime. You guys get a brand-new Balloon Juice angel match of $1,000.
We are raising funds for Voting Access for All (VAAC) in Michigan.
VAAC found an external match for our $25,000 goal, and we have a Balloon Juice angel match, so donations up to $50 are 4x your donation amount.
What are we funding? Just like last time, we are paying for teams who are doing direct work with the formerly incarcerated, not just to let them know they are eligible to vote, not just to get them registered to vote, but also to get them out to vote.
Lots more detail about what VAAC is up to are included in the post that’s linked above.
To count toward the match, let us know about your donation in the comments, or you can drop me an email message if you prefer.

Moving this from John’s post because of the giggles reading:
Trust me, it’s worth the click!😂

@Jackie: My eyes can’t take all the jumping around of ads and videos on Raw Story, but the picture was good.
The caption on the photo was “reflecting”.
It’s almost as though she isn’t the former guy’s biggest fan.

Donated $50 for VAAC.
I saw a less cropped in version of the tub reading photo on X and, not to granite-countertops-her, but I must say, the bathroom wall tiles are amazing!! Does she live in a castle?

$50 for a good cause. Done

@Albatrossity: I think of you as a morning person! I’m sure that’s because of On the Road. Funny, because the timing of the posts are totally unrelated to whether you area morning person or not.
Silly me.

Thanks for the donations, everybody!
Oh, and as always, a new angel match resets so everyone is eligible to be matched again.

GOTV is how we are going to run the table this November. :)

How does Voting Access For All abbreviate to VAAC and not VAFA?

Just returned from Michigan, my home state. Let me check my finances after paying off my credit card bill and I will definitely chip in for this one!

@Chris T.: That’s a fair question!
It’s actually Voting Access for All Coalition, therefore VAAC.
But Voting Access for All Coalition is a mouthful, so I just say Voting Access for All. :-)
WaterGirl
Thank you, Night Shift!
We are just $205 away from meeting this $1,000 match!
Reminder, because of the external match and our BJ angels, donations up to $50 are 4x.
Lumpy
I made a $250 donation on May 2, I didn’t realize I should post about it here too (I thought donating at the link in the margins would automatically apply it to the matching fund)

@Lumpy: No problem! I added you just now, so you got the $50 match. :-) thank you!
