Emily,

I'm Anderson Clayton, the Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party. I wanted to take a moment to explain what's happening in North Carolina right now and what you can do to help:

In my state, there's a case moving through the judicial system that threatens not just one election but the integrity of our entire democratic system.

Judge Jefferson Griffin lost his seat to North Carolina Justice Allison Riggs by 734 votes last November. And rather than concede, Griffin, backed by the Republican Party, has filed sweeping legal challenges attempting to discard tens of thousands of ballots.

Last week, six months after Election Day, the Republican majority on the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled that over 65,000 voters whose ballots were already counted face having those ballots being thrown out unless they prove their eligibility.

Ultimately, this decision will be appealed to our state's Supreme Court. But here's the thing: because we knew this would be a conflict of interest, Justice Allison Riggs has recused herself, making the makeup of the Supreme Court a 5-1 Republican advantage.

We don't know how these justices will rule, but we are prepared to continue this battle in federal court if it doesn't go the way of democracy.

This is the unprecedented fight that we are in right now, and it's a test case for the right-wing playbook: If you can't win the election, challenge the voters. Manufacture a list, create confusion, and let partisan courts do the rest.

We will not allow this to become the new normal in our state. We will make sure we fight this on the ground, in the legislature, in the courts, and also at the ballot box next November.

But this work is going to require a massive amount of resources, and we're going to need all the help we can get. Please use this link to split a contribution between the North Carolina Democratic Party and the DNC so we can ensure that democracy and the will of the people wins.

Emily —

We understand that your inbox can get overwhelming, so we'll get straight to the point (this shouldn't take more than 60 seconds, we promise!).

Trump is tanking 401(k)s, allowing Elon Musk to dismantle key government agencies, and now he's floating the idea that he'll run for a third term. If you're feeling anxious and frustrated, you're certainly not alone. But we are not powerless.

Millions of people cast their votes against Trump. More than one million people showed up at nationwide protests last weekend. There are millions of us who won't passively allow Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress to dictate our future unchecked.

We have the power to confront Trump's harmful agenda head-on, which is exactly what the DNC is doing. With the backing of this grassroots team, we are:

Taking the Trump administration to court to challenge his attempts to control the Federal Election Commission, America's federal elections watchdog.
Suing Trump again over his illegal voter suppression executive order.
Investing in state parties, which helped us secure big wins in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the last few weeks alone.
Organizing People's Town Halls across the country — including in districts where Republican representatives are hiding from their constituents — to ensure everyone's voices are heard.

But this work requires a massive amount of resources. That's why we need your help today, Emily. The DNC is the organization best positioned to move resources to where they're needed most in 2025, 2026, and beyond as we work to elect more Democrats who will check Trump's power.

Can you chip in $3 today to help fund our work?
