More on what we are paying for when we donate to the Mastodon for Harris-Walz fundraiser, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris: the largest voter protection program in the history of America. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-08-17-24#h_2a30dcf1891ad9c8be92da25c6c56fffv
Let me say a bit more about that. 1/

The lawyers on the #HarrisWalz team will not charge for all the hours they put in. But the young lawyers especially cannot write off their time - they have student loan debt, young families, mortgages - all the usual expenses that have to be met. We have to help #HarrisWalz2024 pay for the very hard work these lawyers are going to keep putting in. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 3/

Yeah, the lawyering part is going to be so important in this election.
I had been looking for where I could send money to support Elias’s work, and had only gotten as far as finding the Democracy Docket web site.
(cont’d …)
@heidilifeldman
With this announcement, does that change things? I don’t mind giving to the general fund (via #MastodonForHarris , of course), but I’d love to be able to say “this is for the law stuff”. Also, some people might have max’ed their per-person candidate contributions, so can’t go that way, but still want to support the legal team.
In summary: Where should people who want support this send contributions?
@jztusk @heidilifeldman I donated to Democracy Docket a couple weeks ago, in addition to donating to Harris.
@BruceMirken @heidilifeldman
Excellent!
I wasn’t sure, as Democracy Docket seemed to be the informational web site, and I wanted the most direct support of the lawsuits, so had been looking to see if there was a separate fund for that.
