What just happened in Georgia has me livid and fired up to fight back, and I'm hoping I can count you in. Governor Brian Kemp signed into law S.B. 202 yesterday -- a massive voter suppression bill that my friend Stacey Abrams called "Jim Crow 2.0."
Let me be perfectly clear: This bill is intended to make it harder for folks in Black and Brown communities to vote. Full stop. S.B. 202 imposes stricter voter I.D. laws, limits the number of ballot drop boxes, and even criminalizes giving people food and water as they wait in line -- sometimes for hours -- to cast their vote.
This is voter suppression, plain and simple, and we must push back.
The Democratic National Committee is working day and night to fight the onslaught of attacks on folks' sacred right to vote. From litigating cases in the highest court in the land to running a 24/7 voter protection hotline to placing organizers on the ground, we're doing everything we can to fight back. And I need you with us.
Make a $7 donation to the DNC today so that our party has the resources it needs to fight Republican's heinous attacks on our right to vote.
Georgia is not the only state where Republicans are launching attacks on voting rights. It's happening all across our country -- they've already proposed over 250 pieces of legislation to try to suppress the vote.
And you better bet that Republicans are closely watching Georgia and taking notes to see what they can get away with in their states. That's why I am counting on supporters like you to step up now and send a strong message that we are not going back.
Join me in this fight for justice and make a $7 donation to the DNC. Every penny will help fight the GOP's attacks on our democracy and elect Democrats nationwide.
Thank you,
Jaime
