Donald Trump is destroying our democracy, attacking public education, whitewashing Black history, and harming our communities. And he thinks he can get away with it!!

Trump says Democrats have GIVEN UP fighting back against his hateful, racist agenda.

I thought I would be met with fury on the left, but they're sort of giving up… There's been no fight.

This can’t be right!! We just launched an emergency fundraising goal of 25,000 grassroots donations to show Trump that Democrats are NOT giving up. Will you pitch in $5 or any amount to show you’re committed to defeating Trump? >>

Trump’s biggest adversaries in Congress have been Black Democrats. Leaders like Jasmine Crockett, Cory Booker, and Hakeem Jeffries are standing up to Trump and holding him accountable each and every day.

That’s why we’re working overtime to support and elect the next generation of Black leaders at every level of government – to defeat Trump, his MAGA allies, and his racist agenda. But we can’t do this alone!

Help us prove Trump wrong. Help us show him that there’s a powerful grassroots team ready to defeat him and his MAGA agenda. Chip in $5 to send a message loud and clear to Trump: “I’m NOT giving up!” >>
