Job Mela Hub: 07/26/25

Hi Emily,

It's Dan Freeman, the DNC's Litigation Director. I'm reaching out today to share some appalling news about President Trump's plan to gerrymander Texas and give Republicans FIVE new seats in Congress.

In a minute, I'm going to ask you to split a donation between the DNC and the Texas Democratic Party to help Democrats fight back. But first, let me explain:

Texas and I have some history. Before I joined the DNC, I was a voting rights lawyer for the Department of Justice, where I helped block Texas' discriminatory 2011 redistricting and led the fight against its 2021 maps.

Emily, Texas is already home to some of the worst gerrymandering in the country. And now, President Trump has demanded that they make a bad map much, much worse — all to stack the deck against Democrats taking back Congress in 2026.

And do you know what makes this even more shameful? Governor Greg Abbott is trying to do all of this during a special session he supposedly called to deal with flood prevention, relief, and recovery. But his first priority is to ram through a redraw of Texas' congressional map.

To sum it up, he's playing politics with a tragedy. Now it's up to us to do something about it.

If you're in Texas, it's time to organize, attend public forums, and speak out at the Legislature.

If you're not in the Lone Star State, then please donate right now to fund the DNC's organizing efforts in Texas and around the country.

There's not much time left, so let's get to work: Split $10 between the DNC and the Texas Democratic Party as they stand up to stop Donald Trump and Texas Republicans from redrawing the map to benefit themselves →

$5 - not a typo

Emily, we have an important request: Can you pitch in $5 to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot who will fight back against the harmful and disastrous MAGA agenda?

No, that's not a typo! Just $5.

We get it. You might be thinking, "How much can $5 really do?" when Trump and his Republican-controlled Congress have billionaires behind them?

But it's not just your $5.

It's $5 from a bookkeeper in North Carolina, $5 from a caregiver in California, $5 from a teacher in Georgia — millions of $5 donations coming together to power our grassroots movement.

So Emily, we're asking you to join your fellow Democrats in this fight. Because when we all pitch in, we can take on Trump's budget bill, protect Social Security and Medicare, and defend our democracy by ensuring we hold Trump and his administration accountable.

Will you give $5 (or more!) to help us win local and statewide races this year, take back Congress in 2026, and the White House in 2028? This work is more important now than ever.
