| | | Hi friend – before I ask you to chip in to help me win in Ohio and keep the Senate blue, I need to take a moment to explain why I'm in this fight and what your grassroots contribution would mean today.
I grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, in a community of ironworkers, carpenters, autoworkers, and electricians. I spent summers working on my family's farm. Today, I live in Cleveland with my wife, Connie, and our two rescue dogs, Franklin and Walter. | I’ll be honest with you, friend: Over the years, in Ohio, we've seen manufacturing jobs shipped overseas because of bad trade deals, prices skyrocketing as wages failed to keep up, and hopes for a comfortable retirement dashed. That's why I've devoted my life to fighting for the Dignity of Work – the idea that hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of work you do. | Every day in the Senate, I’m fighting for you. But I’m facing my toughest race yet, and I need your help to win. Will you chip in $5 or more now – split between my campaign and Jacky Rosen's – so I can keep up the fight in Ohio and defend the Senate for Democrats? | Right now, Mitch McConnell and the GOP need to flip only two seats to retake Senate control – and experts at Politico say it could all come down to Ohio. Last year’s Senate race here was one of the most costly in the nation, and NBC News reports this one could be “even nastier and more expensive.” | That's why I simply cannot win this race – and Democrats simply cannot hold on to our narrow Senate majority – without grassroots support from folks like you. As one of the most vulnerable senators in the country, I'm personally asking: | Will you please split $5 between my campaign and Jacky’s to help us hit our midnight fundraising goal, power our reelection campaign to victory, and keep the Senate blue? | This is gonna be a heck of a fight, but with you by my side, I know we can beat the odds and continue making much-needed progress for workers and families. Thanks for being on our team.
With gratitude,
Sherrod |

| | Virginia’s Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin: Restricted access to the ballot box. Proposed a budget that gives the ultra-wealthy massive tax handouts. Pushed an extreme abortion ban that threatens doctors with jail time. Raised a record-breaking nearly 2.7 million dollars in the year’s first quarter from right-wing donors. This is the Governor of battleground Virginia.
You’ve heard about this year’s competitive elections in Virginia, but we can’t stress enough how important they really are. The people of the commonwealth have lived under Gov. Youngkin’s extreme agenda for far too long, but this November, we finally have a chance to turn things around. The truth is: Glenn Youngkin’s despicable agenda will be the reality for the next two years if we don’t reclaim the House and defend our Senate majority this November. We’re only 5 seats away from flipping the state House – it’s within arms reach! From now until July 31st, a group of generous donors are 3X matching all donations. This is the exact kind of push we need before these critical races. Losing in Virginia means handing Republicans even more power to pass anti-democratic legislation. We need you to step up and make a 3X-matched donation of $7 ($21 impact!) or whatever you can ahead of crucial races in states like Virginia → If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
We have a real chance to block Glenn Youngkin and his Republican allies by electing state Democrats in November, but it all depends on the support we get today and through Election Day. With the help of grassroots donations last year, we were able to flip four chambers and expand Democratic power in ultra-competitive states. Now we have a chance to flip the Virginia House, but it all relies on the support we build right now. Are you up to the challenge? Your $7 or $25 donation will help our team stay competitive in elections in Virginia and nationwide. Your donation will be 3X-matched through our deadline on July 31st, so it’ll have three times the impact! Let’s take back Virginia, Team DLCC

| | | Friend: During my time as president of Planned Parenthood, I watched Republicans attempt to pass horrific laws to control women's bodies.
But now, with Roe v. Wade no longer the law of the land, I need to be blunt with you: Anti-choice extremists are attacking abortion access like never before. | In states across this country, Republicans are doing everything in their power to restrict reproductive freedom – and Mitch McConnell and his allies have threatened to pass a national abortion ban if they take back Senate control. | Political analysts say that the future of the Senate could all come down to Nevada – just like it did last year – which is why I’m reaching out today: My friend Sen. Jacky Rosen is running for reelection. I’m working hard to help her win this fight, and I’m asking you to join me. | The GOP knows the importance of Nevada, so they’re zeroing in on Jacky as a top target for defeat. She’s facing an uphill climb and won’t be able to defend her seat without grassroots support from people like you. So please, friend, I’m personally asking: Will you chip in $5 or more now to keep Nevada blue, defend the Senate, and restore reproductive freedom nationwide? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | Last year, the GOP flooded Nevada’s Senate race with a staggering $55 million – and their handpicked candidate came within less than 8,000 votes of winning. That’s a SLIM margin. There’s no question that Jacky’s race will be just as close – and likely even more expensive.
That’s why she urgently needs grassroots resources as early in the election cycle as possible. So please, friend, can I count on you to join me in supporting Jacky today? | Donate $5 now – or however much you can spare – to keep both Nevada and the Senate blue. This race couldn’t be more pivotal in the fight to protect reproductive freedom in America. | Thank you,
Cecile Richards

Hey Sula,
Are you ready to stand up for a fair and inclusive democracy? I've got some urgent news to share about what's happening in redistricting, especially in Alabama.
Picture this: After a week-long special legislative session, the Alabama Legislature passed yet another gerrymandered congressional map. Despite a Supreme Court decision upholding the Voting Rights Act and affirming that the state should have two Black opportunity districts, the state’s legislature drew a status-quo map that preserves their party’s own power while providing only one Black opportunity district. It’s an absolute disgrace!
We need to take action, and fast! Will you chip in right now to All On The Line?
Here's the deal: The Republican legislature's gerrymander seriously limits Black voting power in Alabama -- again. It falls far short of giving Black Alabamians a real shot -- the equal opportunity they deserve, and that has been court-ordered -- at electing a candidate they believe in. We won't stand for it.
Any map in Alabama that doesn't include at least two Black opportunity districts must be challenged. It's time for fairness and equality to win! Support our work to put an end to gerrymandering in states like Alabama and everywhere maps are unjust. Make a donation today!

But wait, there's more! This fight for voting rights isn't just confined to Alabama. Across the nation, our movement is continuing to push for VRA-compliant maps that don’t dilute the voting power of communities of color, in states like Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. These cases are all about ensuring that all voters' voices are heard loud and clear. Our movement is making progress, and it's because of amazing supporters like you!
So, Sula, this is a call to action. We need your support to protect voting rights and fight against gerrymandering. Your contribution will make a real impact everywhere it counts.
Thank you for being with us every step of the way. Let's keep pushing forward, together!

| | This is URGENT, friend: Our country is facing a gun violence epidemic. Already this year, there have been more than 400 mass shootings and tens of thousands of lives have been unnecessarily lost.
Expanding background checks is a critical step toward solving the gun violence epidemic. Research indicates that as many as a quarter of all gun purchases in the United States occur without a background check – even though 90% of Americans support them. This allows guns to fall into dangerous hands, putting entire communities at risk.
Despite this overwhelming support, the far-right will stop at nothing to BLOCK this lifesaving legislation. So we want to hear from you, friend. | We're asking 500 activists to speak out by midnight tonight, and we've personally selected YOU to represent your area. Please respond to our urgent live poll before it closes at midnight. | TELL US: Do you support universal background checks on gun purchases? |
Live poll expiring at 11:59 p.m. Responses after this time will be discarded. |

Can we bring you up to speed on what 2 of our nation’s highest-profile white supremacist sympathizers are up to?
FIRST: Tommy Tuberville (best known for tripling down on his take that “white nationalists are unfairly labeled as racists”) held up military promotions for months – all because the military supports reproductive freedom.
THEN: Fellow MAGA clown Ron DeSantis came out in support of Tuberville’s policy, and promised to end access to abortion in the military if he were president.
NOW: We can’t tell if Ron was more excited by the white nationalism or the restrictions on abortion rights, but one thing is for sure: WE CAN’T LET HIM NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE.
Will you chip in $10 or more today to help us fight back against MAGA racists? If we’re going to be successful this cycle, our grassroots organizing needs to start NOW! If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately. |
Thank you,

| | 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 triple-matched gift of $7 so we can halt Republican power in your state and beyond? There's only five days left to claim your match! If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
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 3X-matched donation of $7, $25, or whatever feels right before midnight on July 31st to help us fight extremism in the states » Thank you, Team DLCC3X-MATCH: DONATE »
