Emily, we’re reaching out today to ask you to chip in $7 and activate your Democratic membership today >> $7 because we need to make sure every single Democrat has a plan to cast their ballot. $7 because the DNC is working overtime to narrow MAGA’s voter registration lead in key battleground states. $7 because we’re the best-positioned committee to send resources to the campaigns and state parties who need it most in this final stretch. $7 because it’s officially crunch time. We’re just 74 days away from Election Day, and activating your Democratic membership today will help execute a massive organizing push before it’s too late. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, 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. 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.

They kicked me out of the House chamber

Emily, my name is Justin Pearson, and I just became the Democratic nominee for Congress in Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District. I won my primary exactly 61 years after President Johnson stood alongside Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Reverend Ralph Abernathy, John Lewis, and Rosa Parks and signed the Voting Rights Act into law. Today, that same Voting Rights Act has been severely undermined by the Supreme Court, and the Tennessee state legislature has taken advantage of those weaker protections by separating Memphis and Shelby County, our only majority-Black congressional district, into thirds. The political dilution and deprivation of our rights is happening in our lifetime. It’s a blatant attempt to keep people like me out of power. This election is about a vision for 61 years from today. Not just for my district, but in races across the country. In 74 days, we will face a choice: We can start to build an America that reflects the true spirit of generosity and kindness that I have always known our communities to have. Or, we can let our country continue to be permanently scarred by two more years of unchecked power for Donald Trump. By two more years of chaos and cruelty. By two more years of the systematic dismantling of our fundamental rights and freedoms. Emily, we can’t let that choice be made for us on Election Day. We have to make that choice in these next 74 days. We have to choose to fight, to knock doors and make calls and do everything we can to power Democrats to victory, or we can choose to sit back and wait. I’ve made my choice. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that Democrats take back the House and the Senate this November. The DNC is doing everything that they can too. They’re sending organizers out to register tens of thousands of new Democratic voters in swing states and supporting over 10,000 Democrats running for office across the country, from the school board to the Senate.
