Hi Emily,

It's Dan Freeman, the new Litigation Director at the DNC, following up. I'm a former Department of Justice attorney, and I'm joining the DNC to help protect your right to vote.

Here's how I will fight for you:

I spent almost 15 years at DOJ as a voting rights lawyer. I served as lead attorney for the United States in last-minute voter purge litigation, constitutional challenges to the Voting Rights Act and National Voter Registration Act, statewide redistricting cases, challenges to voter ID laws, and other matters of national importance.

I was a civil servant, and I took pride in enforcing the Voting Rights Act on behalf of the American people because I believe the right to vote — and to have that vote counted — is the threshold of American democracy and preserves all other rights.

But everything changed when President Trump returned to the White House. They forced out brilliant lawyers. Directed us to drop crucial cases. I soon knew that my opportunity to protect democracy within DOJ was over.

So I made the difficult decision to leave DOJ and come to the DNC. Because at the DNC, we believe that voters pick their elected officials, not the other way around. We're going to court to enforce voting rights laws when states violate them, and we'll intervene and defend your right to vote when the Republican Party tries to make it harder for you to cast a ballot that will be counted.

That's why I'm asking you to make a donation to help fund the DNC's legal work today.

By donating $3 today, you'll help us make strategic investments in legal work that will have a lasting impact for years to come. You'll also help us send a message to President Trump and the Republican Party that any attempt to take away your right to vote won't go unanswered.

Chip in today to help fund the DNC's legal work and fight for every vote to be counted. Too much is at stake to lose this battle →

How we're going to kick Republicans Out of Congress.

Emily,

This summer, we're making history by organizing earlier than ever before to kick Republicans out of office in 2026.

In a minute, we're going to ask you to make a $3 donation to support our early organizing efforts in key House and Senate races. But first, let us tell you more about the Organizing Summer program.

This program is historic. If Democrats are going to take back Congress, we need to lay the groundwork right now. That's why we launched Organizing Summer in partnership with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Association of State Democratic Committees. Organizing Summer is a nationwide campaign to register voters, train up our volunteer base, and host in-person and virtual events in places where people need to hear from us the most.

But we can't do this work alone. Your donation now, along with the donations of thousands of grassroots supporters just like you, helps to fund these early investments and allows us to build our strongest organizational infrastructure yet. With your help, we can elect Democrats up and down the ballot who can act as a check on Trump's power.

Can you give $3 today to our Organizing Everywhere Fund? If everyone reading this email used this link to give what they could today, we would be able to expand our organizing efforts in key races and kick Republicans out of Congress.
