Trump is imposing steep tariffs on imports to the U.S. from countries around the globe – many of which are our long-time allies and trade partners.

This move is causing consumer prices to rise on groceries, household goods, and more – straining the wallets of millions of Americans!

Our relationships with our allies are being threatened as Trump risks pushing our entire economy into a recession. We can’t let him do this!!

We need to know how our supporters in your area feel about Trump’s tariffs. Please respond to our one-click poll below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hey Sula,

Last week, All On The Line’s Deputy Director of Litigation, Art Mitchell, sent an email talking about the Voting Rights Act (VRA).

Understanding the VRA and threats against it is at the center of the fight for fair maps. The VRA has been under attack since its inception, but it's become particularly vulnerable since the Supreme Court’s Shelby County decision.

Take a moment to read Art’s message below, and if you’re able, donate to All On The Line to power our fight for equal representation and our work to end partisan gerrymandering.

Thanks,
Team AOTL

Subject: We need to talk about the Voting Rights Act

Folks,

There’s no ensuring fair maps without protecting equal access to the ballot box. But one of the tools created to advance and defend the voting rights of Black and Brown communities is under attack.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) was a landmark legislation that finally created a robust safeguard against discrimination and disenfranchisement in our elections and established strong tools to deliver on the promise of fair representation with fair district lines.

For decades, the Voting Rights Act made a measurable impact in protecting the voting power of marginalized voters.

But all that changed with the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision in Shelby County. The Court’s ruling gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, taking away key protections and making it easier for states to discriminate against voters of color.

Since then, anti-democracy forces have used and abused the courts, bringing case after case to advance a dangerous agenda that threatens the ability of certain voters to make their voices heard — and undermines the very foundations of our democracy.

As you read this, ongoing cases in Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana are taking aim at other sections of the VRA, threatening to deprive voters of the chance to elect leaders who truly represent them.

Throughout these attacks on the Voting Rights Act, All On the Line has been there every step of the way, working tirelessly to defend voting rights and fair representation across the country. Supporters like you make it possible for us to keep up the fight. As their attacks continue — and we know they will — we are committed to mobilizing our grassroots movement in support of fair maps and fair representation across the country.

Today, we’re asking you to make a grassroots donation to power our critical work to protect the Voting Rights Act, stop partisan gerrymandering, and defend our democracy.

All the best,

State Democrats are facing competitive special elections over the next few months.

We’re counting on grassroots supporters to help elect Democrats who will block the extreme MAGA agenda. A $7 donation is all it takes to fuel our work →
If every supporter reading this donated $7 to support state Dems today, we’d have the resources to defend and expand Democratic power from right-wing extremists in state legislatures across the map. 💪

But we know not everyone can pitch in right now, so we’re relying on our most dedicated supporters to make your first donation of the year to the DLCC.
Together, we can power state Democrats to victory in elections that are typically underfunded and overlooked. 🗳️

Will you rush $7 to help Democrats compete against Republicans’ billionaire backers?
