Emily, California Governor Gavin Newsom is calling for a special election to redraw the state's maps and defend fair representation. This news comes on the heels of Republicans in Texas trying to manipulate their odds in the 2026 elections by gerrymandering their congressional map. And Republicans in other states are beginning to follow suit. If you agree Democrats need to fight fire with fire when it comes to defending our democracy, pitch in now to support the DNC:
CONTRIBUTE $3 This isn't politics as usual — it's an emergency. Republicans want to rig the game to get as many House seats as they can to keep their majority, no matter how the American people vote. So Gov. Newsom and Democrats across the country are sending a message: We're done fighting with one hand tied behind our backs. You want to play hardball? Two can play at that game. The California ballot measure could be the difference between electing a Democratic House majority in 2026 to act as a check on Trump … or two more years of unilateral rule by MAGA Republicans. That's why it's so important we fight back against Republicans' gerrymandering schemes by using every tool at our disposal. If this work matters to you, pitch in $3 to support the Democratic Party today:

| Emily, If you've been waiting for the right moment to make your first contribution to the DNC, we're here to tell you, this is it. Here's why: What's happening in Texas should be a warning sign for all of us. Republicans are trying to redraw Texas' map to give themselves FIVE new congressional seats. And this is just the first step in their plan. Trump and his allies are directing Republicans in states like Indiana, Missouri, and South Carolina to follow the same playbook: redraw their states' maps and give themselves more new seats. If they succeed, the costs could be devastating. Imagine another four years of Trump with ZERO guardrails — where Congress refuses to check his power and lets him do anything he wants? We have to fight back, and we have to do it now. Democrats are organizing around the country to stop Trump's redistricting plans and take back Congress, but to fund that work, we need your help today. Not tomorrow, not next week. Today is the time when your contribution will go the furthest. If protecting our democracy is worth $3 to you, that's the contribution we're asking you to make to the DNC today:

This isn't only an attack on the media — this is an attack on all of us. | Emily, have you seen this?  House Republicans recently approved Trump's plan to gut public media. This isn't only an attack on public media, Emily, this is an attack on all of us. Communities across the country rely on public news, radio, and broadcasting to access local and national news, children's education and entertainment, and even emergency alerts. In fact, when North Carolina faced widespread power, cellular, and internet outages due to Hurricane Helene, public radio was one of the only avenues communities could count on for emergency alerts and updates. Cutting funding for public media means that millions will lose access to these critical resources. But Democrats are not backing down without a fight. House Democrats voted together against the funding cut and will continue working to ensure Americans have access to the alerts, news, and educational resources they need. And at the DNC, we're organizing cross-country and investing in state parties to elect more Democrats who will continue to fight to protect public media and act as a check against Trump's disastrous agenda. Emily, if this fight matters to you, please consider pitching in $3 or whatever you can to the DNC today so we can keep building the resources we need to win back Congress: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

| Emily, If you're looking for a way to make an impact right now, we're here to tell you this is it. Let us explain: Democrats are fighting a major battle in Texas — and the outcome will directly impact all of us for years to come. Right now, Republicans are blatantly trying to steal five Democratic seats in Texas. And, if they succeed, it will be that much easier for the GOP to hold Congress in 2026 and beyond. That's why Republicans are laser-focused on this fight, and we need to be, too. Texas Democrats have left the state to prevent a vote on the rigged map. But now, the state's Republicans are threatening to remove and arrest Democrats who are blocking their gerrymandered map. The DNC has activated over 30,000 volunteers to contact Texas voters and let them know what's at stake right now. We've sent tens of thousands of messages recruiting Texans to attend hearings on this issue. We're fighting fire with fire, because if Republicans succeed, the consequences could be disastrous for people all over the country. But we'll need your help to do it. If you're looking for a way to make an impact right now in this important moment, this is your opportunity. Can you split a $10 contribution now between the Texas Democratic Party and the DNC to help power our work?
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between the Democratic Party of Texas and the Democratic National Committee instantly: Thank you, The Democrats P.S. We're fighting Republican gerrymandering, but we need as many resources as we can get. So, we're urgently asking you to chip in to help stop the GOP from giving themselves FIVE new House seats.

| Emily, Under the Trump administration, the role of governor has never been more important. Here at the DNC, we're laser-focused on two governors' elections happening in November: Mikie Sherrill for New Jersey
Abigail Spanberger for Virginia
These races are not just about electing governors — they're about protecting the rights of all New Jerseyans and Virginians and setting the tone for the 2026 midterms. But winning them both is not going to be easy. In New Jersey, the latest polls show Democrat Mikie Sherrill in the lead — but only by a small margin. With many voters still undecided and time running out to reach all of them, it's going to take all hands on deck to make sure Democrats' message is resonating with as many New Jersey voters as possible. In Virginia, Republicans are pulling out all the stops to defeat Democrat Abigail Spanberger. They're working around the clock to fund her opponent, with national Republicans recently spending another $500,000 to boost Spanberger's opponent. The truth is, these elections are going to be close. That's why the DNC has invested over $1 million in both of these states to help Democrats register voters, train volunteers, knock doors, and win up and down the ticket. If we can win in states like Virginia, New Jersey, and beyond, we'll be sending a powerful message that voters are fed up with Trump, Republicans, and their corruption and chaos. But we can only do that if we have the resources now to fund our on-the-ground organizing work. So we're asking: Can you chip in $3 today to help elect Democrats in states like New Jersey and Virginia and send the message that voters everywhere are rejecting Trump's disastrous agenda?

| Emily, we have a few quick questions for you this evening: If you knew that a $3 contribution to the DNC would help Democrats win back Congress next year, wouldn't it be the best $3 you've spent this year? If you knew that $3 would go directly toward helping us defeat every single Republican who voted to slash health care and food assistance for millions of people, wouldn't it feel like the most gratifying donation you've ever made? And if we told you that your $3 donation would help us keep the pressure on every single Republican to do their job and ensure the full Epstein files are released to the public, wouldn't you click the link below to give $3 right now? These questions aren't rooted in fictional scenarios — this is the work that we're able to do with the support of grassroots supporters like you. Your $3 donation helps us invest in organizing across the country, invest in all 50 state parties so they have the resources they need, and support electing Democrats who will fight for working families in their states, districts, and communities to stop Trump and his allies from ripping our democracy to shreds. If this work is worth $3 to you, that's the donation we're asking you to make to the DNC today:
