Emily, In a few short weeks, two critical special elections in Florida will determine the control of two previously Republican-held House seats. Republicans' narrow majority in Congress means these elections are that much more important. That's why we have to ask: Will you split a contribution between the DNC and the Florida Democratic Party to help Democrats reach as many undecided voters as possible in the final weeks before Election Day? If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between the Florida Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee instantly: Winning a special election is hard. Winning two in a state Trump won is even more challenging. But since last November's elections, Democrats have over-performed in special elections across this country as voters reject MAGA extremism. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Florida Democrats will need as many resources as possible to counter Republicans' spending, scale up their on-the-ground organizing efforts, and make sure as many voters as possible have a plan to cast their ballots. Anything you can chip in today will help fund this work. You can use this link to make a split contribution. Thank you again for everything, The Democrats

  | It's no secret that this is a critical moment for our Party, Emily. We need to show Americans that Democrats are on their side. And that starts with listening. That's why over the last two weeks, we've embarked on a feedback campaign where we're asking you for your thoughts on the future of the Democratic Party. You've heard from multiple members of our team already, and our campaign is coming to an end soon, which is why I'm reaching out to you today for one last time before my team and I start reviewing responses. I'm personally asking for your input. We've already heard from over 25K supporters, and we hope you'll join them. By completing our feedback survey, you'll directly influence how we address the issues that matter most to working families and communities nationwide. With the stakes this high, it couldn't be more important that we hear from as many Democrats as possible. This is your chance to shape the future of our Party, and it starts with one simple action. Complete our survey today to make your voice heard. Rest assured our team — myself included — will be reading the responses we receive here, and we will use the information we gather to make an informed decision about the DNC's next steps. The strength of our movement has always been rooted in collective action. I am grateful for your commitment to this Party, and I look forward to forging our path forward together with your invaluable insight. Thank you for your dedication and support. More from us very soon. Ken Ken Martin

Here's what's happening: | Democrats to Hold "People's Town Halls" in GOP-Held Target Districts Where Republicans Are Hiding From Their Voters & Constituents Emily, Earlier this month, House Republicans' leadership told their members to avoid hosting town halls with their constituents. That's because Republican members of Congress know they sold out their voters by backing Donald Trump and Elon Musk's agenda — and they're terrified to be in the same room as the people who sent them to Washington. So Democrats are showing up instead. During this congressional recess, Democrats are launching "People's Town Halls," a series of in-person public events in all 50 states across the country featuring local and national Democratic leaders. This is a chance for people to make their voices heard — regardless of where they live or who they voted for last year. Upcoming People's Town Halls include: -
Arizona's 6th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani -
Colorado's 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Gabe Evans -
Florida's 13th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna -
Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Zach Nunn -
Michigan's 10th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. John James -
Missouri's 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ann Wagner -
Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Don Bacon -
Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie -
Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan If you live in one of these districts, stay tuned for more information about how to make your voice heard at an upcoming town hall. Americans deserve to have their voices heard — even if Republicans ignore them.

| Emily — Over and over again, Trump has shown that he'll put his own interests and those of his billionaire backers ahead of everyone else's — no matter the cost. From announcing harmful executive orders to supporting a tax break for billionaires, he will not stop. But neither will we. It's going to take the full backing of this grassroots team to protect our friends and neighbors from Trump's destructive, power-hungry grabs. Here are three things you can do right now to help: -
If you haven't already, take a few minutes to share your feedback about where the DNC goes from here. -
If you have a Republican senator, call them and tell them to say NO to the Trump tax scam. -
Donate to support the DNC as we work to win upcoming elections in states like Florida and Wisconsin.

| Emily — Donald Trump is facing backlash less than two months into his term, and his approval ratings tell the story. Take a look:  It's not too hard to see why Trump's approval is dropping. In the time since he took office, he's already: -
Spiked costs for people all over the country. -
Allowed unelected billionaire Elon Musk to wreak havoc on our government, dismantling key agencies and firing thousands of federal workers. -
Supported congressional Republicans' agenda to slash Medicaid for millions of people, while giving a giant tax handout to billionaires. -
Rescinded President Biden's executive order to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid. -
And more… Unfortunately, this is just the beginning, and Democrats must fight back. To do that, we need to do two things: -
Mobilize against Trump, Musk, and their allies — holding town halls where Republican representatives won't show up, call our representatives and urge them to vote against disastrous legislation that cuts health care access, and more. -
Elect more Democrats who will check Trump's power in their cities, districts, and states. To do that, we need your help. Can you make a $3 contribution now to help fund the DNC's work? If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Millions of people voted against Trump in November, and millions of us are standing firm against his agenda now. We have to keep fighting — and with your help, we will. Thank you for standing with us, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

| Emily, I'm Shelby, the DNC's chief mobilization officer. It's my job to make sure our team is reaching people on the platforms where they're spending their time; listening to our donors and supporters; and communicating what Democrats are doing on a daily basis. That's why I want to hear from you directly. We want to know the priorities that matter most to you and where you believe the DNC should channel our efforts as we prepare for the fights this year, next year, and beyond. Will you take a few minutes to share your thoughts through our feedback survey? (And please, be as honest as possible). Our team will analyze the responses and then provide a report to DNC Chair Ken Martin. SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK This isn't one of those surveys where the hidden purpose is to get you to donate. We genuinely want to hear your feedback, and I hope you'll take a minute or two to share it. Thank you for your time! Shelby Shelby Cole

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. | Emily, Living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won't always win out, but continuing to fight for the change we believe in. Since the last election, the foundational principles of our democracy have been challenged, and it would be easy to give in to fear and despair. But the change we seek — the change we need — will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. The best way to make a difference is to get up and do something. Don't wait for the next election. Go out and make a difference right now. Because through your action, you will fill others with hope. And you might just fill yourself with hope. Today, I am asking you to do something that will give Democrats across the country hope that the next election will be different. I am asking you to contribute $5, $50, or whatever you can afford to the Democratic National Committee today. The amount of the donation isn't as important as the number of people choosing to make a difference. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. In the face of steep odds, it's always been the people who love this country who change it. Thank you for reading, and for your action today.
