Thanks, Natália Simões Events Manager natalia@hcamposgroup.com www.hcamposgroup.com The GOP has spent decades building state power, gerrymandering districts, and propelling their anti-American agenda across the country. From gutting abortion access to infringing on LGBTQ+ rights, state Republicans have become a one-stop shop for advancing the far-right agenda. But state Democrats are right on their heels. They’re doing everything in their power to ensure these extremist policies don’t come to fruition. Even the Obamas have sounded the alarm: Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama know just how critical coming together right now to rally behind Democrats is. That’s why they’re calling on members of this community – yes, you! – to help fight Republican extremism across the country. Will you heed the Obamas’ message, take a stand with us today, and chip in a gift of $7 so we can halt Republican power in your state and beyond? If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. Chip in $7 » Chip in $25 » Chip in $50 » Chip in $100 » Chip in another amount » GOP lawmakers have already started to propose dangerous legislation like: The death penalty for women who have abortions Infringing on LGBTQ+ rights Enacting execution by firing squad And so much more! We can’t afford to have anyone sit on the sidelines if we want to expand Democratic power. Rush a donation of $7, $25, or whatever feels right to help us fight extremism in the states » Thank you, Team DLCCDONATE »MAKE IT MONTHLY »   BREAKING: GOP BEGINS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AGAINST PRESIDENT BIDEN Friend: Stand up for Biden and against Kevin McCarthy and his accusations by adding your name to our emergency petition NOW.
