Sula, when it comes to why the NDRC’s electoral work is so critical to protecting our democracy, A.G. Holder summed it up best:

A.G. Holder: All of this underscores the fact that every election matters, and it is incumbent upon all of us to protect the true independence of the judiciary, which is critical to our democracy. | PITCH IN BEFORE TONIGHT’S MID-MONTH DEADLINE

Over the past several years it’s become increasingly clear we can’t rely on the Supreme Court to protect our democracy. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act and made a series of contradictory rulings on gerrymandering that seem to favor GOP map manipulators.

But the good news is our strategy has always been about way more than the Supreme Court. State courts will decide a number of important cases related to gerrymandering and voting rights in the future, which is why the GOP is desperately seeking to install justices who they think will rubber stamp their manipulated maps. We have a plan to fight back, but we need your help to do it.

That plan includes targeting important races that will affect the future of our democracy across 17 different states this November, including state supreme court elections, state legislative elections, and governor’s races. But all our work takes a significant amount of resources, which is why we’re reaching out right now.

Our July mid-month deadline is at midnight tonight, and we’re still just a few donations short of our goal. Can you pitch in right now to put us over the top and help us keep up our work to protect our democracy?

A.G. Holder: If the NDRC is successful in undoing manipulated maps, we will be able to achieve a system in which everyone's vote counts.
Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete. Our victories have been made possible by our strong community of grassroots supporters.

NDRC July Mid-Month Goal

Deadline:
TOMORROW

12 Donations called for from NY:
PITCH IN NOW!
 

URGENT, Sula:

Our July mid-month deadline is tomorrow night, and we still need help to reach our goal! We've run the numbers and we're calling for 12 people from NY to pitch in now, to help us reach our goalCan you make a donation of any amount to help us get there?

With so much on the line, we can't afford to fall behind right now. President Obama said “the fight for fair maps is part of the fight to protect our democracy,” and he's spot on. If we don't do everything we can to fight back against GOP gerrymandering and voter suppression, Democrats could find themselves locked out of power indefinitely.

The good news is we're well aware of what we're up against: A.G. Holder himself said that “our democracy is under attack, and it will take all of us to protect it.” That's why the NDRC is targeting key races in 17 states across the country this November — but we can't do any of our work without your support.

So please, Sula: Rush a donation before tomorrow's mid-month deadline and be one of the 12 donors we're calling on from NY to help us reach our goal and defend our democracy!

Trump is set to take the stage tomorrow at his MAGA rally in Arizona, just two weeks ahead of the state’s primary election.

We know that these rallies serve as a platform for him to spew his lies, inflate his ego, and engage his far-right base. But these rallies also serve as a powerful organizing tool where Trump is going to tout his endorsements for Republican candidates up and down the ballot in Arizona to get out the vote.

Let’s make sure we can counteract Trump’s rally with a massive wave of support for state Democrats. We know that he’ll use this rally to fire up his base – so we have to do everything we can to ensure we can compete with their momentum, secure organizing resources, and keep his allies out of office.

We’re asking: Can you chip in a $7 donation right away to protect state legislatures across the country? As Trump takes the stage, we have the power to fight back and ensure Republican extremists don’t get elected.

If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

It’s clear: Trump is hosting rallies in states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia because he wasn’t able to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in these states.

Many of the state-level candidates he’s endorsed would have power over how the 2024 election is conducted in their respective states – and with Trump’s 2024 run all but inevitable, his far-right extremist candidates winning would signal that he has the support he needs to run again — and win.

Simply put: We can’t let that happen — and we have the power in our hands right now to put a stop to it.

Before Trump takes the stage, please chip in $7, or anything you can, to support the DLCC’s work to keep extremist Republicans out of state legislatures. Every donation will go towards electing state Democrats nationwide.

Thanks,
DLCC Team

ADD YOUR NAME

USO Supporter,

You know the saying: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

As a chef and restaurant owner, I know all too well how hot it gets during a long shift in the back of the house, where open flames and roaring ovens are part of the job.

But the temperatures in a restaurant kitchen are nothing compared to what the heroes in our Armed Forces deal with daily. Today and every day, American troops carry out their duties in conditions that are hard to imagine for a lot of us back home. Right now, they may be working in sweltering tanks on scorching sand dunes and in triple-digit temperatures in battleship boiler rooms — just to keep us safe.

I just wrapped up a USO tour to personally thank American troops for dealing with these hardships on our behalf — and today, I'm asking you to join me in showing gratitude. We've set a goal to get at least 50,000 patriotic Americans to sign the USO's 2022 Summer Troop Support card, and we're hoping to see your name on it.

Please, will you add your name to our Summer Troop Support card now to thank American troops for all the sacrifices they're making to protect us and keep us safe?

ADD YOUR NAME

This is the time of year when many of us are heading to the beach or cranking up the air conditioning to escape the heat, but the heroes defending our freedom don't have that option. That's why we've got to go the extra mile to thank them for enduring unimaginably harsh conditions on our behalf.

It's impossible to thank American service members enough for everything they're doing to make the world a safer place, but we can all take just a small step to show our gratitude. By signing this card , you're showing how much you care about our troops, and that's so, so important.

Sincerely,

Chef Robert Irvine

Independent state legislature headlines from WaPo, NPR, and 538

Sula,

The ultra-conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has already shown its willingness to turn over the fate of basic constitutional rights to the whims of gerrymandered state legislatures. Next year, they could go even further in a case called Moore v. Harper.

If you’re already familiar with Moore v. Harper, I’ll cut right to the chase -- our affiliate, the National Redistricting Foundation, is supporting the right side in this case as it heads to the Supreme Court, and we need supporters like you to help us keep up the fight, both inside and outside of courtrooms.

Can you make a contribution so we don’t risk losing the gains we’ve fought for?

Moore v. Harper is the latest Republican power grab, and it may be their biggest yet. If they’re successful, it could be a disaster for our democracy. The case threatens our systems of checks and balances, and if the Republicans get what they want from the Court, Moore v. Harper would give state legislatures, many of which are gerrymandered and don’t accurately reflect voters, near-total power over how federal elections are conducted. The basis for this case is the truly fringe and dangerous "independent state legislature" theory.

That means the days of judicial reviews and governors vetoing gerrymandered maps could be gone, in direct contravention of nearly a century of Supreme Court precedent.

It could also mean the end of voting protections as we know them since state courts have been one of the last defenses against voter suppression laws passed by Republican-controlled state legislatures.

Help us continue to defend American democracy, fair maps, and the right to vote. Give $10, $20, $50 if you’re able -- whatever amount works for you. If there was ever a time to help us, that time is now.

Thank you,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States
