Summary:

Steve Rogers has done a lot of things out of spite throughout the course of his century-long life, but he never thought retirement would be one of them. But somehow, a year after the second fall of HYDRA and his giant middle finger to the U.S. government, he finds himself with a house in Brooklyn Heights and a lot of time on his hands. With his former team stationed on the other side of the world, he's also far away from his support system, forced to ask the big questions for the first time in his life. Question like "What the hell do I do now?" and "What the fuck is my purpose?" and "How do I deal with this soul-sucking loneliness?"

Enter Bucky Barnes, professional wise guy, presser of buttons, and possessor of the prettiest blue eyes in Brooklyn, on a mission to rekindle the artistic spark in Steve's wary, wounded heart, and give him a healthy dose of family besides.

Chapter 2: The Riverside

Snippet:

What he did not expect—but probably should have, ugh—was to find Bucky Barnes sitting at the furthest sidewalk table, looking like a whole snack and frowning down at the menu.

The hand of fate, in Steve’s humble opinion, could get off his damn jock for a second or twelve.

Steve could have left. He could have, and no one would have been the wiser. Except his cell phone burned in his pocket, full of pictures he’d taken all around the borough. Except he recalled with pristine clarity the glint in Bucky’s blue eyes through the window of that cab. Except he still had a thousand unanswered questions about Arnie and the Roths burrowing a hole in his chest.

Except Bucky glanced up, spotted him, and spooked, so Steve had no choice but to go talk to him. Or that was what he’d tell the judge.

“Hey.” Steve closed the distance between them, hovering beside the empty seat across from Bucky as if waiting for an invitation to sit down.

Which he would not receive, no matter how bountiful the olive branch he offered.

U.S. voters: Please register to vote this mid-term election! Your rights depend on it!

Dear Friends,

This is a big month at Vote.org. We've earned Candid's (formerly GuideStar's) Gold Transparency Seal, won our second Webby Award for Responsible Technology, and we're just weeks away from registering our 10 millionth voter.

With one of the most consequential midterm elections in US history fast approaching, I'm excited to share what's ahead, including the launch of our 2026 midterms programming.

Gold Standard Transparency Seal

Vote.org has earned the Gold Transparency Seal from Candid (formerly GuideStar), the nation's leading source of nonprofit data and accountability.

Candid's transparency seals are earned by opening our books, our financials, our leadership, our metrics, and our governance for independent review. Only a fraction of the 1.8 million nonprofits in the U.S. reach the Gold level.

For you, our partners and supporters, it means this: when you invest in Vote.org, you can see exactly where your dollars go and what they accomplish. You can view our full profile, including our compliance reports and Forms 990, anytime on Candid.

A Webby Award for Responsible Technology

Vote.org won the People's Voice Award for Responsible Information at The Webby Awards this year! This is our third Webby nomination and our second win, alongside three honors from the Anthem Awards, and we're honored.

The People's Voice Award is decided entirely by public vote. For an organization built on voter trust, there's no better endorsement. We take our job to provide trusted and credible information seriously, especially in a time where misinformation is rampant. Thank you, The Webby Awards!

We’re So Close to 10 Million

We are fewer than 20,000 registrations away from helping our 10 millionth voter register.

Ten million people. That's more than the population of 40 states.

Registering to vote in America is getting harder as new documentation requirements are being proposed and imposed. Federal pressure on state election officials is escalating by the week, and the path to the ballot box has never had more friction.

We're so much more than a tool. We’re a platform driven by the people that works in under two minutes.

Behind it is a team working around the clock, tracking every rule change in every state, updating our systems the moment deadlines shift, and reaching out to voters who would otherwise fall through the cracks. We’re here to remind every eligible American of a simple truth: your voice belongs in this democracy.

When we cross 10 million, the win won’t be ours alone, it is a win across many communities in the fight for access to the ballot box.

Our 2026 Midterms Programming is Live

We've officially launched our 2026 midterms programming, anchored by the strategy that has proven itself cycle after cycle: radio.

Vote.org consistently runs the nation's largest voter turnout radio program, and does it at a cost per vote that leads the field. Radio reaches voters other channels miss: rural communities, communities of color, and the millions of Americans who are registered but need a trusted nudge to turn out.

Want to hear what this sounds like in practice? Listen to one of our 2024 ads here.

Here's the part I need you, specifically, to know: the earlier we buy, the cheaper the airtime. Ad inventory in an election year only gets more expensive as November approaches. A dollar invested in our program today reaches more voters than the same dollar in October.

This is why I'm coming to you now, in July. Investing in Vote.org early is strategic. It's how we turn your support into the maximum number of ballots cast.

What I’m Reading Right Now

"Redesign of US government websites stokes surveillance fears" — The Guardian

The Guardian reports that several federal websites, including vote.gov, were recently rebuilt with commercial visitor-tracking software and without the privacy disclosures required by federal law.

Voter registration tools handle sensitive personal information. Voters deserve to know how that information is collected and used. It's what "responsible technology" means in practice, and it's why Vote.org matters now, more than ever. Help us empower voters this midterm.

With gratitude and resolve,

Andrea Hailey

CEO, Vote.org

P.S. — If you'd like to talk about early investment in our midterm radio program, reply directly to this email. I read every one.

Vote.org is the largest 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan voter registration and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) technology platform in the nation. We build best-in-class, culturally competent programs, cutting-edge voter tools, and high-profile partnerships to reach and empower voters across the United States of America.
