Wowza, Emily! Take a look at this ActBlue map:  Thousands of supporters have stepped up in the last few weeks to show they have the Democratic Party's back, and are ready to win races at all levels. And with elections rapidly approaching in states like New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, that support couldn't be more important. Republicans are counting on all of us being overwhelmed by the daily chaos and destruction. They want us to completely give up. Well, we won't — and neither should you. So, please, make your first contribution to help send a powerful message to Trump and his allies: Democrats aren't going anywhere. In fact, we're going to win up and down the ballot this fall, and then, we're coming for Congress. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

  | Emily, We're at a critical moment, and your voice matters more than ever. While Trump and Republicans are redrawing congressional maps to rig elections in their favor, we're fighting back and showing up for Democrats in red, blue, and purple states alike. We're investing in every single state Democratic Party, deploying thousands of organizers across the country, and investing seven figures in both Virginia and New Jersey ahead of their elections this year. As we prepare for the 2026 midterms and beyond, the Democratic Party is listening closely to our base. We want to know what issues matter most to you, where you think we should focus our efforts, and how we can better communicate, organize, and fight for the values we share — because we can't move forward without you. When Democrats across the country take the time to make their voices heard, that is how we create a vision for the future of our Party. That's why we're reaching out today to ask for your input. We've put together a survey to hear directly from our supporters across the country. Your answers will help guide our strategy, messaging, advocacy, and investments in the months ahead. Whether you're a longtime activist, a first-time voter, or somewhere in between, Emily, your voice will shape the future of this Party and the future of our country. So please take 3-5 minutes to make your voice heard to strengthen our movement. In solidarity, The Democratic National Committee  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.

Republicans own this shutdown | Emily, FIRST: Trump and his allies put forward a government funding bill that failed to protect millions of Americans from the health care cuts in Trump's budget bill. THEN: Democrats refused to vote for it — standing together to try to reverse the cuts, lower costs, and save health care for their constituents. NOW: The government has officially shut down, and Trump is threatening to permanently lay off more federal workers — putting thousands of hardworking people out of work instead of sitting down with Democrats to address our country's health care crisis. Republicans control the White House. They control the House and Senate. They own this shutdown. But we still have a say in this, Emily. You can make a difference — whether you're organizing in your community, contacting your representatives, or using the power of your wallet, your voice matters. And that's exactly why we're asking you to consider making a $7 donation to the DNC today. Your donation will help us invest in more state and local parties that will elect Democrats who will advocate on behalf of ALL Americans and who will use their power to protect necessities like health care. So, will you pitch in $7 today, Emily? If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

| Emily, $7. That's the contribution we're asking you to make to the DNC today. $7 because congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown this week instead of negotiating in good faith with their Democratic colleagues. $7 because thousands of federal workers are about to lose their jobs, and 22 million Americans will see their health insurance premiums double. $7 because Democrats are ready to help reopen the government when Republicans are willing to come to the table. $7 because Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House, and electing Democrats who will work to protect your health care, your jobs, and your communities is the best path toward ensuring a brighter future for all. If flipping the House and the Senate next year is worth $7 to you, that's the contribution we're asking you to make today.

| Emily, Sharice Davids here. I'm honored to represent Kansas in the House of Representatives. Every day, it seems like we are mounting another fight against the Trump administration and their extreme agenda. Here in Congress, we are doing everything we can to stop him — but it would be impossible to win this fight without your help. We are so lucky to have supporters like you on our side: talking with your friends, signing up to make calls and knock doors, and giving what you can when you can. You're a key part of this work. That's why I'm inviting you to enter the DNC's new contest, where five winners will have the chance to hear directly from Democratic leaders about the work we're doing — and everything that lies ahead in the fight against Trump. By chipping in below, you'll be automatically entered to win a trip to the DNC's Women's Leadership Forum Conference in Washington, DC — and have the chance for you and a guest to hear from me and other Democratic leaders in person. Plus, your donation will help the DNC support Democrats up and down the ballot and across the country as they fight back against the Trump administration. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. I hope to see you there. Thank you for your support, Sharice Sharice Davids

Here's what you need to pay attention to: | Hi Emily, We just wanted to make sure this major deadline is on your radar. Election Day is in one month. We know elections outside of presidential years might not be top of mind for a lot of folks, but that's exactly what makes them so important.
Here's what's at stake across the country next month: In Virginia and New Jersey: In both states, the governorship and other statewide and municipal offices are up for election. Keeping the governor's seat in New Jersey blue and flipping the governor's seat in Virginia will be imperative to ensuring that state leadership can protect Virginians and New Jerseyans against even more harm from the Trump administration. In California: Proposition 50 — or the Election Rigging Response Act — is on the ballot this November as a defense against Trump's efforts to rig next year's midterms. This legislation would counter Republicans' efforts to redraw the Texas congressional map. Passing this is key to defending our democracy. In Pennsylvania: On Election Day, voters will decide whether or not to retain their state Supreme Court justices for another 10-year term. These justices will continue to issue consequential rulings on issues that impact Pennsylvanians directly — from abortion funding to gerrymandering — and it is critical that justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht all remain on the bench. At the DNC, we know there is no such thing as an off year. The outcome of November's elections will have a meaningful impact on people's lives. As the organization best positioned to distribute resources where they're most needed, we're heavily investing in all of these states' Democratic Parties to support on-the-ground organizing, reach voters, and ensure as many people as possible know what's at stake this fall. This kind of work is only possible with the generosity of grassroots supporters just like you. So, Emily, will you pitch in $7 to the DNC today to ensure we can win these races in just a few weeks and even more races in the years to come?

My name is Mark McLaughlin, and I recently started a new role as Chief Financial Officer at the Democratic National Committee. | Hi Emily, My name is Mark McLaughlin, and I recently started a new role as Chief Financial Officer at the Democratic National Committee. Here's what you should know about me: It's my job to make sure that we are raising enough money to elect Democrats up and down the ballot — in 2025, 2026, and beyond. It's also my job to make sure that every dollar we raise is being spent in the most cost-effective manner possible. I've been doing this work for more than 25 years, and I am eager to use those skills at the DNC, because in this critical moment, we need all hands on deck — and every dollar we can raise — to safeguard our democracy from the harm being done by Trump and his billionaire buddies. That's why today I am asking you to chip in $7 or whatever makes sense for you to the DNC to support our mission — because all hands on deck means we need everyone to do whatever they can to help us win these critical upcoming elections. No donation is too small to make a difference, I know that better than anyone. $7, that's the ask. $7 to help win rapidly approaching elections in states like Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. $7 to help Democrats flip Congress next year. $7 to protect our democracy and prevent more damage and destruction. If this work matters to you, I hope you'll use these links to chip in: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you for joining me in this fight, Mark McLaughlin
