Over the past year, Republicans have gone to incredible lengths to undermine our right to vote, our elections, and, ultimately, our democracy. Rather than seeking the truth following January 6, Republican lawmakers have concerned themselves with whitewashing the insurrection at the Capitol and spreading Trump's Big Lie in a desperate attempt to cling to power.
To put it simply: Republicans know that they cannot win back power on their policymaking alone, so they're trying to win by spreading lies about the 2020 election. And we must hold them accountable at the ballot box.
Republicans launched a coordinated assault on voting rights on the ground in states. Last year alone, 34 laws were passed in 19 states with provisions making it harder to vote -- with Republican state legislators leading the charge.
As Democrats, we know that our democracy only works when everyone's voices are heard. We must continue fighting to protect every eligible American's constitutionally guaranteed right to vote and to defend our democracy -- and we can't do that without your support.
The DNC is investing a historic amount of money to fight back against the GOP's efforts in all 50 states, the territories, and D.C. These investments will not only be critical to defending our democracy in the upcoming midterms -- but also protecting access to the ballot box.
So please, chip in $7 to the DNC's Voter Protection Fund today. With your support, we can help provide Democrats with the tools we need to protect voting rights and elect Democrats nationwide.
As we inch closer to the November midterm elections, here are just a few of the programs the DNC is investing in to defend our democracy:
-
A nonstop voter protection and education effort: Democrats are ramping up the number of voter protection staff we have on the ground, helping folks find their polling place, running a national voter protection hotline, actively monitoring and tracking incidents on the ground, and more.
-
Expanded voter and multi-lingual outreach: The DNC expanded robust voter education and coordinated event activities for voters of color across states, including multi-lingual outreach to mobilize growing Spanish-speaking and AAPI populations.
-
Distributed organizing capacity: The DNC mobilized thousands of the national volunteers who took part in the 2020 election to also support the New Jersey and Virginia coordinated campaigns through volunteer recruitment, voter education, and early get out the vote efforts.
We can only keep these programs running with your support. There's never been a more important time to chip in, so I'm asking:
Will you rush a $7 donation to the DNC's Voter Protection Fund today? Every penny will go straight toward our efforts to elect Democrats who will defend our democracy.
Thank you,
