Emily, it’s Dan Freeman, the DNC’s Litigation Director. There’s been a lot of noise on voting rights recently, so I’m writing to give you a brief rundown of what’s actually happening. Two months ago, the Supreme Court decided Louisiana v. Callais, gutting Voting Rights Act requirements that protect majority-minority districts and making it much harder to bring discrimination claims against redistricting maps. Within days of SCOTUS’s decision, Republicans in states like Texas, Missouri, and Florida have redrawn congressional maps to win more seats without more votes, silencing the voices of minority voters. To add insult to injury, President Trump recently issued an executive order directing the federal government to build an eligible voter list for every state. And then the order instructs the Postal Service not to return ballots for anyone on this list. I know this may seem bleak, but my team and the DNC are fighting back. Before I go into detail, please use this link to chip in and help power our fight, both in and out of court. Here’s what you need to know: The Trump administration has tried to interfere with voting rights before, and we’ve beaten them time and again. We’re fighting President Trump’s executive orders in court right now, and we’re committed to fighting on the ground to ensure that every American is able to make their voice heard at the ballot box this November. President Trump doesn’t set rules for our democracy, and we’re fighting tooth and nail to put a stop to his agenda. If work like this matters to you, please make a $7 contribution to the DNC today to help us continue fighting — both in the courthouse and at the ballot box.If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, Dan Dan Freeman  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support. Emily, we’re building the largest midterm operation in DNC history to take back control of Congress this November, but we need your help right now. Your donation today will help fund our work to register new Democrats in battleground states, organize everywhere, and win everywhere. Text JOIN to 43367 Want to receive fewer emails? Click here.

I’m writing to give you a brief rundown of what’s actually happening.
You deserve to know…

Emily, You deserve an explanation. You’re going to be seeing us in your inbox a bit more often over the next few days, and we wanted to let you know why. We know your time is valuable, and we wouldn’t email you if it wasn’t important. Our end-of-quarter fundraising goal is coming up, and we set an ambitious goal here at the DNC: We need to raise $750,000 by Tuesday night. That may seem like a lot, but $750,000 isn’t an arbitrary number for us. Our team set that goal intentionally to ensure that we have the resources to power Democrats to victory this November, so we cannot afford to miss it. If we come up short, we’ll have to make some tough decisions, like hiring fewer organizers to register new Democrats to vote or sending less money to state parties. We’re not going to let that happen, but we need your help to make this work. Right now, we’re falling short. So, we’re reaching out to our top supporters and asking: If winning this November is important to you, please chip in $7 to the DNC today. We’ll put your donation to work immediately to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, all across the country. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you for your support, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support.

what happened after we reached out yesterday (WOW)
|

Hey Emily, we wanted to make sure you saw this. We’re less than 150 days away from Election Day, and we need 25,000 Democrats to activate their DNC membership this month. After we reached out yesterday, 72 more Democrats from Virginia became Official DNC Members, but we noticed you weren’t one of them. Becoming an Official DNC Member is one of the most impactful ways to get involved and make a difference as we gear up for the most important midterm elections of our lives. Can we count on you to chip in $7 to activate your 2026 DNC Member Card today and help us build the strongest grassroots movement possible ahead of the midterms? Thank you for joining the fight, The Democrats ---------- Forwarded message --------- Hey Emily, did you see this? We’re just shy of reaching 25,000 Democrats to sign up — and it’s still not too late to claim your 2026 DNC Member Card! Thank you for meeting the moment, The Democrats ---------- Forwarded message --------- Emily, We’re less than 150 days away from Election Day, and we need 25,000 Democrats to activate their DNC membership this month.

Our team at the DNC has been working tirelessly to scale up our organizing efforts and build the strongest grassroots movement possible as we get through the primary season and prepare to fight tooth and nail with Republicans for the congressional majority. Emily, this is the last month of Q2 — it’s the calm before the storm. We’ve got five months to reach voters, register new Democratic voters, and break the GOP’s fragile majority, but we can’t do it alone.

We went to Georgia, and the maternal healthcare crisis there will shock you
|
|||
|
“There is a deep lack of humanity.” That line stuck with me as I traveled across my home state, amplifying the stories of Georgians navigating one of the strictest abortion bans in America. Emily, I’m Akeima Young, the DNC’s Video Director. Today, on the fourth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, I’m humbled to share the stories of Olama, Zuri, and Shanette in the DNC’s newest mini-doc, We went to Georgia: The maternal healthcare crisis will shock you. As Republicans try to silence our voices and control our bodies, sharing our stories is a crucial act of resistance. If there’s one thing to take away from these conversations, it’s the deep lack of humanity involved in not only the Court’s decision in 2022, but in states legislating away women’s rights to these necessary reproductive procedures and doctors’ ability to practice evidence based medicine. Each of these women has experienced firsthand what it is to live as a Black woman in the South with limited reproductive freedom. Olama was denied critical care during a miscarriage because of the strict ban on the procedure she needed. Zuri, an OBGYN in Atlanta, now faces a new level of fear and uncertainty in her practice, as many procedures have been made a felony in the state. Shanette lost her daughter, Amber, after doctors severely delayed her necessary care — one of many preventable deaths at the hands of anti-choice legislators. Abortion bans impact real people every single day, and it’s all happening right in front of our eyes. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the privilege of giving these women a microphone and letting them know that their voices matter. As a queer Black person from Georgia, I found these women and their stories all too familiar. In them I saw myself, my friends, my family, my community. And I hope these stories have as powerful an impact on you as they did on me. Giving these women a platform to reach millions of people is only one of the ways my team at the DNC is fighting back against abortion bans. We’re telling stories that need to be heard from folks all over the country — stories the 24-hour news cycle might otherwise forget. As a filmmaker, I deeply believe in the power of storytelling, and I know the kind of change that’s possible when a story moves someone. If one person sees a video, reads an email and feels seen, or is compelled to action, then I know it’s working. Because the way we build a movement for change has always been the same — one person at a time. Olama put it perfectly: “We need to show up on voting day, and we need to let these people know that the decisions that they’re trying to make for us are not going to fly.” If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

What the DNC has in common with the S&P 500 …
|

|
Emily, We know your inbox is probably flooded with emails from campaigns and organizations asking for donations, but we’d like to explain why giving $7 to the DNC today is a worthy investment. INVEST $7 INTO WINNING THE MIDTERMS If you’ve invested before, then you’ve probably heard this a million times: Diversify, diversify, diversify. That wisdom applies to political donations, too. Much like investing in a S&P 500 index fund, when you donate to the DNC you’re investing in a diverse portfolio of programs that are working in tandem to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, across each corner of the country, every single year. Essentially, a donation to the DNC (however small or large) works like an investment. Some of your money goes towards short-term programs we know will help us win elections immediately, like organizing in swing districts or suing to stop Trump’s election interference. The rest of your money is invested in long-term strategic projects that will pay off for decades to come, like building organizing infrastructure in growing states like Mississippi and Louisiana or registering young Democrats who will decide future elections. Emily, come this fall, the impact of your $7 could be priceless. In the last midterm elections, one race in Arizona was decided by just 280 votes. So, no matter how big or small, your $7 investment could be the $7 that registers that decisive voter, helps us win that crucial court case against Trump, or gives an organizer the resources to build long-term power across the South.

When the Court overturned Roe
Emily, four years ago today, the United States Supreme Court took away the fundamental constitutional right of all people to make decisions about their own bodies.
Many of you reading may remember where you were on that day when the Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
I was traveling from Washington, DC to a maternal health event in Illinois when I heard the news, and it became clear: Women of this generation would have fewer rights than my generation or my mother's generation.
Our work now is about fighting for all of them and for the generations to come.
Over the past four years, women across our nation have suffered the consequences as Republican lawmakers capitalized on Dobbs. They have passed laws creating chaos, confusion, and fear. Laws that have denied the women of our country care, even when their life and health were at risk.
Make no mistake: Republicans are implementing an agenda decades in the making, and the midterm elections are our next best chance to apply a real check on them.
I know it is not easy. I know these are difficult times, and it requires a whole lot of courage. It requires a level of optimism to remember that we're fighting for something, not against something.
So today, I am asking you to make a donation to support Fight for the People PAC.
Fight for the People PAC is how I am working to elect a Democratic House and Senate to protect our fundamental reproductive freedoms in the future.
Donations are critical to our success, and we know that when we fight together, we make a difference. We have to publicly report how many donations we’ve received this quarter in less than a week, so your donation — especially right now — has a big impact.
Please, Emily:
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.
Thank you and take care,
Kamala
