90 min to close the gap
We won’t go back to Jim Crow, Pamela
|
||||
Pamela, right now, some power-hungry politicians are determined to drive us back to one of the ugliest chapters in American history.
The Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act has opened the door to efforts to strip power from the American people, especially Black voters and other communities of color — echoing a period when our laws and our political maps enforced racial segregation and propagated inequality and injustice.
This period should be ancient history — but there’s an active campaign to bring it back. This isn’t some far-off threat. It’s happening in real time.
In the weeks after the Supreme Court’s shameful ruling, states across the South rushed to rip away voting power for racial minorities — power that took decades — practically our nation's entire existence — to secure. States like Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama have passed congressional maps that intentionally erase majority-Black opportunity districts.
And anti-democracy leaders are lining up to follow their lead — from Mississippi to Georgia.
These leaders have shown us their hand. They've made it clear they value their own power over the rights of racial minorities to participate equally in our democracy. It's shameful — and it’s on us to shut it down. Make a donation today to strengthen our fight against racial and partisan gerrymanders.
One of the most harmful parts of Jim Crow was the idea that the injustice, the unfairness, was permanent — so deeply ingrained that it couldn't be uprooted. The civil rights movement exposed that lie. People marched, sacrificed, and bled to bring Jim Crow to an end. We must carry forward that legacy today.
When we band together, when we organize, when we fight, we can fix what's broken.
Thank you for refusing to let injustice win,
Art Mitchell

NEW POLLING IN OHIO: 53-45
Team –
The first public poll of the general election in Ohio was just released, and you need to take a look:
This is a big deal. It’s the first public poll of the general election – and the data proves Ohio is ready to unseat my opponent, Jon Husted, and pave a path for us to flip the Senate in November.
The momentum behind our campaign is growing, but so is the target on our backs. Republicans can see we’re putting up a fight, and they’re going to do whatever it takes to stop us in our tracks. Before I say more, can you split any amount between my campaign and State Democrats Committee so we can hit our $100K rapid response goal and take on whatever’s next?
What we’re building together is truly remarkable, and I see it at every stop I make across the state. Folks are fed up with rising costs, rampant corruption, and a rigged system that makes it impossible to get ahead no matter how hard you work. So they’re showing up to make a change and proving that we have the support to flip this seat, even in a state Trump won by 11 points last time.
Seriously, we’re 8 points ahead of our opponent in this latest poll. That’s the good news.
Here’s the tough part: Outside Republican groups and corporations see these polls, too. They’ve already publicly announced I’m one of their top targets and are spending $83 million against me, so another poll like this will give them all the more reason to dump a fortune into Ohio to take me down.
I don’t know what’s coming next, but I know the only way we can keep this going in our favor is by fighting hard each and every day until the election. Ohio broke the record for the most expensive Senate race in history last time, so we need a lot of support if we’re going to pull this off.
Your $5 might not seem like a lot on its own, but it all adds up when thousands of folks chip in whatever they can, whenever they can – even if it’s just $5 at a time. If you’re with me, I’m earnestly asking if you can split a donation between my campaign and State Democrats Committee before midnight. Everything counts and means a ton to me personally.

Graham Platner
Graham Platner — one of the boldest warriors for working people running for U.S. Senate this year — is officially the Democratic nominee in Maine.
We’re excited to support his campaign this year. And today, we’re asking you to join us.
SUPPORT GRAHAM PLATNER: CHIP IN NOW
Since launching his campaign last year, Graham Platner has been unafraid to call out the corrupt insiders and corporate elites stripping our communities for parts.
He’s taken on the billionaires who want to buy our elections, fearlessly advocated to end the pointless forever wars that make us all less safe, and boldly committed to protecting reproductive freedom and keeping the government out of our private lives.
Now, he’s officially running against Republican Senator Susan Collins — the MOST vulnerable U.S. Senator up for re-election this year. But if there’s one thing we can be sure of, it’s that national GOP insiders will do everything they can to hold onto power.
They’ll spend whatever it takes to prop up Collins. They’ll launch vicious attacks against Platner. They’ll do absolutely everything they can to sway this election in their favor.
Grassroots supporters like you are our best firewall against that reality.
Together, we can elect a real warrior for working people to Maine’s U.S. Senate seat this year. But we need to act NOW in order to make it happen.

We can’t do this without you.
Now let’s get moving.
