Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Binging on content from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social for the last months!😍 Congrats with the Emmy!
Our Emmy-winning video tells the story of Elliott County, Kentucky—a place that voted Dem for 144 years straight before flipping to Trump, while simultaneously electing a Dem governor.
Our team dug into what this county and its people reveal about this moment.
