BIG NEWS: Democrats won THREE special elections in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night – blocking Republicans from taking control of the chamber!  This is HUGE – so much was at stake in these races. With these three victories, Democrats just stopped Pennsylvania’s extremist GOP from passing dangerous restrictions on abortion and creating barriers to the ballot box ahead of 2024. But we can’t let our guard down now – Republicans pour money into special elections, and they refuse to cut their losses now. With less than two weeks until our next must-win special election, we’re counting on our grassroots supporters to give Democrats the resources they need to go toe-to-toe with their Republican opponents in special elections across the country. The GOP isn’t going to let a single special election opportunity pass by without a fight, so we need to be prepared: Will you chip in $7 right now to help elect state Democrats who will work to defend abortion access, voting rights, and so much more in states like Pennsylvania and across the country? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
With Joe McAndrew, Abigail Salisbury, and Matt Gergely in the Pennsylvania House, Democrats will be able to protect abortion access, defend our democracy, make our communities safer, and build a better future for Pennsylvanians. And if we keep up the momentum, we can replicate these wins in New Hampshire – but we need you with us. Can we count on you today?

 | | | |  - State Democrats in Pennsylvania just WON three critical special elections on Tuesday.
- In just two weeks, we’ll face off against Republicans again in a TOSS-UP special election in the New Hampshire House.
- And we’re only FOUR seats away from a majority in New Hampshire, so if we win this special election, Democrats could take control of this chamber before Election Day next year!
Special elections between now and Election Day next year will be more consequential than ever because some of these races could determine the fate of which party controls whole chambers. That’s why Republicans have dumped six-figures into special elections this year already – and if we can’t keep up, we won’t be able to pull off more Democratic victories! We have to keep pace with GOP spending in these races if we want to stand a chance at securing more wins for Democrats. Can you chip in $7 or anything you can afford to help state Democrats win critical elections? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
The reality is, we’re up against GOP candidates who are anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ+ rights, and anti-democracy. When these Republicans hold majorities, like they do in New Hampshire, they create barriers at the ballot box, restrict abortion access, and more. We can’t let that happen – so we need you and our whole grassroots team standing with us. By making your first gift today, we can help elect more state Democrats across the country, who will create a more progressive future in communities like yours, in 2023, 2024, and beyond. YOU are the key to every one of our special election victories, which is why we're asking: Can you donate to elect state Democrats? Thank you,

Hey Sula, I have to level with you there are ongoing threats against our democracy that will have a consequential impact on 2024 and beyond. Here’s how map manipulators and conservative extremists are doubling down on their anti-democratic tactics in 2023 and taking things a step further: → taking political opportunity to gerrymandering maps
→ suppressing voting power
→ failing to improve the fairness of state legislative maps
North Carolina
Conservative legislative leadership filed a petition to reconsider the Harper v. Hall ruling that struck down the legislature’s gerrymandered state senate map. This is an attempt to undermine the state’s system of checks and balances and seek political opportunity, under their belief that new justices on North Carolina’s supreme court would side with them simply because they have the same party affiliation.
Ohio
Last month, House Bill 458 was signed into law. This bill will force Ohioans to show a state-issued photo ID when voting in person, denying voting access to many Ohioans that previously voted using an alternate form of identification indicating their current address. It also eliminates early voting on the Monday before Election Day, shortens the deadline to apply to cast absent voters’ ballots by mail and limits polling place accessibility.
Texas
The Texas Senate is gearing up for another round of redistricting. According to the Texas Demographic Center, communities of color have accounted for over 95% of growth during the previous decade. A new state legislative map should reflect this demographic shift and allow communities of color the opportunity to vote for their candidate of choice. However, experts predict no significant changes to the maps.
Remember that all the progress we have made is fragile. And I want to be clear. We must act now to protect our democracy. The new wave of radical gerrymandering and threats to our democracy are happening at this very second. All On The Line needs your help today. Will you rush a contribution to boost us in our fight against gerrymandering? We must take unified action and put a stop to the outrageous extremist agenda in 2023. The way we see it, all of these trends are a reaction to folks, like you, getting involved and making a real difference. Donate $23 to All On The Line as we are taking action to combat threats against democracy in 2023? Thank you for your support,
