From the ACLU https://www.aclukansas.org/en/transportation-need-dodge-city-met-were-not-finished
The outpouring of support from across the country has been heartening as concerned citizens have flooded the ACLU of Kansas with emails, calls, and messages asking to help transport voters to the single poll on the edge of town in Dodge City, Kansas.
Through the tireless efforts of numerous volunteers and organizations in Dodge City, the need for transportation for voters appears to be sufficiently covered. We commend everyone who has been directly involved and who has remained engaged.
But Dodge City should draw our attention to a larger picture of the many roadblocks dropped in front of Kansas voters. It should compel us to remain vigilant. Voter suppression efforts take on many forms in policy or practice across the state.

For this, and for so many other reasons, I am proud to support them with my money.
My money goes where my mouth and heart are.
