** PLEASE CROSS POST **

Dear neighbors, sharing just for those who may be interested, a great call
to action for a new-ish nonpartisan advocacy group ahead of GT & Cyber
week. You may have heard of other cities moving to this option; in NC the
group is seeking supportive North Carolinians to take part. Feel free to
share or forward as wished, disregard/delete if not interested! - DH
------------------------------

It’s the season of sharing for 2021, and a time when many reflect on
life…and legacy. Better Ballot NC is doing this too….and launching our End
of Year Sustain & Smile Drive.

A sustainer is a supporter who helps BBNC ‘keep the lights on’ with a
regular/recurring contribution, and SMILE (via Amazon) lets supporters
choose BBNC to receive a share of Amazon’s profits every time they shop
with them or Whole Foods online. This Nov/Dec, we invite you to join this
group of helpers!

Here’s a message from one of our actual supporters about why they Sustain &
Smile with BBNC:

"*As a volunteer Outreach Team Lead for Better Ballot NC, I know how
important it is for us to have a predictably firm financial footing in
order to plan our events. That’s why I give a monthly sustaining
contribution to BBNC. They know they can count on my (tax deductible)
donation each month, and I know that I’m doing my part to help bring Ranked
Choice Voting to North Carolina. Recent election results have made it plain
to me that improving our voting system is the best possible use of my
discretionary dollars."*



- Vicki Ryder (Durham)

BBNC Outreach Team Co-Lead



Won’t you join Vicki in helping our endeavors at BBNC? You can sustain at
literally any level that works for you, easily at our contribution page on
the web - or if you’re on a budget, set us as your receiving charity at
Amazon ahead of Cyber Monday/week, and let them make the donation for you
free after you shop!

As we expand our activities in our super-second year as an organization,
we’ll need more regular monthly support to plan and cover the expenses for
RCV advocacy & awareness actions. Can you help?

Become/Join our sustainers here:

https://www.betterballotnc.org/contribute

…and Smile for us with Amazon/Whole Foods here:

https://smile.amazon.com/ch/85-2475738

We always welcome one-time donations at end-of-year giving time if that
works best for you…you can do that at the link above, or by check/money
order to our address at Better Ballot NC, 146 Robert Alston Jr. Drive,
Pittsboro, NC 27312.

-------------------------------------

Remember, all contributions to BBNC are 100% tax deductible… *and*, in 2021
anyone can take a tax deduction up to $300 for donations *without* having
to itemize or meet any other criteria! (per the Pandemic recovery act, just
like in 2020, see form 1040 at irs.gov.)

Thank you for your support this season! We also welcome/seek volunteer
support, if giving a little time works best for you. We have lots of fun
things to take part in! You can express interest in that here:

In appreciation,

Better Ballot NC volunteers
