Just this year, state Democrats have won 12 key special elections – including one last night in Georgia! But with six days until our next must-win election, we must ramp up our momentum. Take a look at what we’re up against → Date State Seat 3/28 Virginia SD-9 4/4 Wisconsin SD-8 5/16 New Hampshire HD-Hillsborough 3 5/16 Florida HD-24 5/16 Kentucky SD-28 5/16 Pennsylvania HD-108 Special elections at the state level don’t get the same level of attention or funding that races at the federal level receive – when in reality, the outcome of state-level elections affect voters’ day-to-day lives more than other elections. That’s why it’s more urgent than ever that we invest our time, resources, and energy into electing state Democrats right now. So what do you say? With just six days until polls close in our next must-win special election, will you donate $7 or whatever feels right to you? When Democrats get elected, they pass comprehensive legislation that betters our communities but when state Republicans win, we see the disastrous effects of their far-right agenda take hold of abortion rights, voting rights, and more. We mean it: 420+ anti-LGBTQ+ bills have already been introduced this year – but we have the ability to lower this number by electing state Democrats into state legislatures across the country! Special elections are one of the best ways we can expand Democratic power in states like yours. But we don’t stand a chance of defeating the party of extremism without you by our side. Can you rush $7 right now to give Democrats the resources they need to WIN against Republican extremists in elections across the country? If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

You have been selected to represent your area in our survey – but your response is missing! Please tell us now: DO YOU SUPPORT TAXING THE WEALTHY? YES   NO Friend: Under Trump, corporations and the wealthy benefited from massive tax cuts, leaving everyday Americans struggling to make ends meet. President Biden's budget seeks to reverse these policies and raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy to cover costs for essential programs, like Medicare and Social Security, that millions of Americans rely on.   But the GOP is already attacking Biden's plan and using their majority in the House to block these tax increases. Now more than ever, we need your help to show the GOP that Americans support President Biden's budget. As one of our most reliable supporters, we chose you to represent your area in our live survey, but we STILL haven't heard from you!

2023 Brazil Summit Friday, April 14th 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (Eastern Time - U.S. and Canada) President Lula returned to power determined to consolidate his legacy of social progress and reforms in Brazil, buoyed by a pro-democracy majority. From the start, however, he has faced obstacles: he inherited a compromised fiscal position, made worse by a post-election commitment to expand expenditures in 2023 bargained with the departing legislature in the waning days of the Bolsonaro administration. The market is uncertain of his adherence to transparent and prudent fiscal management and is concerned about the return of subsidized lending through state-owned banks. Moreover, his accent to power coincides with the downswing of the economic cycle. Likely, he will face a slowdown in growth and rising unemployment in 2024. Against this backdrop, two initiatives could help turn the tide of expectation. Together with agribusiness, the petroleum and gas industry is thriving and expanding. And the turn toward greener energy will reinforce this momentum. On the policy front, the all-important tax reform is mature, largely consensual on its outline, and steadfastly supported by the new administration. Bernard Appy, one of the main proponents of the reform, has assumed a senior position in the Ministry of Finance as its chief negotiator. The aim is the have the legislation enacted in 2023. The Chamber brings together Deputy Finance Minister Gabriel Galípolo (TBC), Special Secretary Bernard Appy, and senior representatives and experts from the oil and gas, renewables, legal, and financial sectors to discuss these challenges, outline proposals, and share their views on Brazil’s prospects. Please join us for this timely and informative annual conference.

We cannot make Chicago whole until all of us are whole. That’s why we’re going to invest in people.

We’re guided by the belief that ordinary people working together can change history. This idea inspires us to empower and connect the next generation of changemakers. On Obama.org, we highlight the work of our leaders and share defining moments of President Obama’s career. Here is a round up of a few inspiring stories to give you a midweek pick-me-up. Read on to see what you’ve missed on Obama.org:     “A MORE PERFECT UNION” SPEECH ANNIVERSARY     Fifteen years ago, then-Senator Obama delivered a personal and honest speech on race titled “A More Perfect Union.”  The speech came during one of the most heated moments of the 2008 campaign, when videos began circulating of old sermons that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, had given denouncing the United States government.  After it was finished, many commentators noted they’d never seen a politician speak so eloquently on race, and it offered a preview of the direct and open manner in which Barack Obama would overcome the challenges he would face as president. Read Valerie Jarrett’s full blogpost about the speech here.     GROUNDBREAKERS PROFILE: CRYSTAL MOTEN   Credit: Maurice L. Bland  For Women's History Month, we’re sharing the stories of the women behind the Obama Presidential Center and recently highlighted the work of Dr. Crystal Moten, the Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Obama Presidential Center Museum. Crystal grew up on the South Side and has returned home to head up the team researching and collecting historical artifacts related to the life and political journey of President and Mrs. Obama. Read the full Q&A here to learn more about Crystal and her work.     OBAMA ALUMNI PROFILE: DEVIN HAMPTON   Devin Hampton is an Obama alum and current CEO of UtilityAPI who set out to address the lack of diversity in his industry in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder.  Devin co-founded the initiative Empowering Diversity Climate Talent (EDICT) to create a diverse pipeline for climate-focused organizations, with the goal of fostering inclusive workplace cultures while expanding the network development of rising leaders from minority backgrounds. Read the full Q&A to learn how Devin’s experience in the Obama Administration shapes his work.     We look forward to bringing you more inspirational stories and memories from President Obama’s presidency in future editions of ICYMI.
