Today we’re asking for just $1 – yes, you read that right. In fact, if everyone reading this email right now chipped in $1, we wouldn’t need to send another fundraising email this year. With Republicans taking power at the federal level, building Democratic power in the states has never been more essential. Can you chip in $1 to help lay the foundation for Democratic victories in upcoming special elections? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Your state legislators are responsible for making decisions that will most impact your day-to-day life. Your state legislature decides everything from when and how you vote to the curriculum taught in school classrooms – that’s why it’s vital that we elect strong Democratic leaders who will fight for progress in places like your community and nationwide. Even just $1 will help put our party on the path to victory in 2025 and beyond. Will you donate $1 (worth 3X more!) to help elect Democrats, protect our democracy, and defend our fundamental freedoms in state legislatures across the country? Thank you, Team DLCC

Figuring out how to respectfully disagree in our diverse and changing society is not an easy task, which is why we’re bringing together some incredible experts who navigate this challenge every day at the Democracy Forum on December 5.
Here are a few speakers we’re excited to hear from:

| |  | | We’re asking for your help. Democrats narrowly broke the supermajority in the North Carolina House – and now, we’re facing a recount in a race that was decided by just 233 votes. Will you rush $7 right now to help power our work on the ground in North Carolina and beyond? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Republicans have wielded their narrow, veto-proof supermajority to pass backward abortion restrictions, attack access to the ballot box, and cement themselves into power. We cannot afford to let their unchecked power continue to harm North Carolinians. Losing puts Republicans one step closer to regaining their supermajority. Will you make a contribution to protect against unchecked Republican power and elect state Democrats nationwide? Thank you, Team DLCC

We’re falling dangerously behind our end-of-month fundraising goal. We cannot afford to fall short this month – Democrats are gearing up for key special elections in states like Delaware, Louisiana, and Virginia. But time is running out – we have just ten days to raise $150,000. That’s ten days to raise the funds that will help: 📣 Amplify our messaging
🗳️ Mobilize voters
📋 Train volunteers
💰 Invest in competitive races
...and so much more. Building Democratic power in state legislatures will take the full effort of this team, and it has never been more important. Make a 3X-matched donation of $7 or more to elect state Democrats in key races → | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
With a Republican trifecta at the federal level, electing state Democrats is critical to safeguarding our rights and our freedoms. The GOP is working to build strongholds at every level of the ballot – including our statehouses. To defend and expand Democratic power, we need to hit our fundraising goals every day, month, and year – falling short this month could set our party back once again. With the stakes higher than ever, a generous group of donors has offered to 3X match every donation until midnight on the 30th. Your $7, $25, or even $100 donation will have three times the impact, optimizing your contribution and giving state Democrats the extra push to win in 2025 and beyond. So, will you rush a 3X-match gift of $7 to help hit our end-of-month fundraising goal and empower state Dems nationwide? Let’s do this together, Team DLCC

| |  | | $7. That’s all we’re asking for to help elect Democrats in the states. Here’s why: Reason #1: Seven special elections are on the horizon in states like Delaware, Louisiana, and Virginia – $7 helps win races like those and more. Reason #2: Every special election marks a chance to protect or gain Democratic seats in statehouses nationwide – $7 helps our party make the most of every opportunity to build power. Reason #3: State legislatures have an important role to play in protecting access to the ballot box, abortion rights, and more – $7 helps elect leaders who will stand up to the ultra-extreme MAGA agenda in our statehouses. So what do you say? Will you donate $7 today to help elect state Democrats nationwide? | If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
$7 donations are exactly what we need to win special elections and loosen Republicans’ grip on state legislatures. While $7 may not seem like a huge investment, the collective power of thousands of donations drives our movement forward. Add a donation of $7 or more today next to thousands of Democrats nationwide so our party can continue building power in state legislatures across the country → Together, Team DLCC

Dear USO Supporter, As we gather with our loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to remember our heroes in uniform who won’t be at their family’s dinner table this holiday. For our service members deployed far from home, Thanksgiving can feel especially lonely — knowing their loved ones are gathering without them to share a turkey dinner, watch the parade or enjoy a tradition like playing football in the yard. But together, we have the power to bring them a little piece of home. This Thanksgiving, the USO is determined to provide programs and services, including at least 2,500 holiday meals at military bases and USO Centers around the world, creating a warm, familiar space filled with joy and gratitude. And for a limited time, every dollar you give toward this goal will be MATCHED by our partners at the NFL: Please rush $37.50, which can help provide one holiday meal! Imagine, without the USO: A service member might find themselves alone in the barracks, their thoughts drifting to family memories and the special recipes they’re missing. But with your support, we can offer them a holiday meal that feels like home: laughter shared over a traditional Thanksgiving spread, a chance to relax as football plays on a big screen, and the comfort of camaraderie in place of the loneliness. We may not be able to bring our service members home or fully understand their challenges — but we CAN make sure they enjoy a warm and festive Thanksgiving meal. That’s why we’re asking: Will you rush $37.50 right now, which can help provide a Thanksgiving meal for our heroes in uniform? Thank you for being a lifeline to our service members, especially during this season of giving. Together, let’s make this Thanksgiving a special one for all those who serve our country. With gratitude, The USO |

 |  | | | | In an effort to reconcile its tax system with the OECD’s Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Pillar Two regulations, Brazil issued on October 3, 2024 Provisional Measure 1,262/2024 and Normative Instruction RFB No. 2,228/2024. These legislative and administrative measures introduce an additional Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) to ensure a minimum effective tax rate of 15% for multinational enterprises. This move is part of Brazil’s commitment to fair taxation within the global economic framework, which will further its reputation as a transparent and equitable jurisdiction for multinational business operations. The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce is pleased to welcome Bruno Marques Santo, Partner at Finocchio & Ustra Advogados; Daniel Loria, Director at the Extraordinary Secretariat for Tax Reform at the Ministry of Finance of Brazil; and Nathaniel Carden, Partner, International Tax; Tax Controversy & Litigation at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP to address Brazil’s adoption of the Pillar Two rules, as well as tax mechanisms of Provisional Measure 1,262/2024 and Normative Instruction RFB 2,228/2024. |

| We’ve been through a lot in the last few years, and many folks may not feel like this is the best time to talk about democracy. But I think this is exactly the right time to talk about it. Over the last couple of years, we’ve talked about two of the major factors eroding democracy: the change in how we get information, and how a shifting economy makes a growing number of people feel like they don’t have control over their own economic fates. So now we must confront a third element: in a country as diverse as ours, how can we disagree deeply while still finding a way to live together? That’s what the third annual Democracy Forum on December 5 is all about: the idea of pluralism and developing the habits and approaches to help us disagree, not just for today but for generations to come. I’ll share more of my thoughts then – and I hope you’ll tune in. |
|
At the Forum, we’ll bring together leaders who are already working around the world to build diverse coalitions and bridge divides in their own communities. We’ll also explore the challenges we face, examine strategies that work, and talk about how we can help the next generation of leaders get the tools and training they need to do even more. This will be a generational project. But I’m encouraged by the young people experimenting with different ways to bring people together and build social trust. It’s the key to building stronger organizations, figuring out how to work together, and ultimately delivering results – and it’s some of the most important work we can do right now. I hope you’ll RSVP to this year’s virtual Democracy Forum to hear more from me and our incredible speakers about the path forward. |
|
Thank you for continuing to show up for that work – and for believing in a better vision for America. Let’s keep building it together.
-Barack |
