I don’t regret this decision

$1,000,000.

That’s how much money I wired to get our brand-new ad on the air.

These are the moves that make or break a campaign. And right now, National Republicans are hammering us with attack after attack... but my last ad fighting back got an amazing response.

But the GOP isn’t letting up, so neither can we. We have to put the same resources – or even more if we can – behind this new ad to reach the voters who will decide this race. I need your help. Will you chip in $5 now to keep our new ad on the air?

DONATE

Experts from The Cook Political Report to MS NOW have shifted Ohio’s Senate race further in our direction, officially calling it a “Toss Up.” That’s due to the incredible momentum behind our campaign that you’re helping us build.

But that same progress has put a massive target on our backs. National Republicans are coming after me as their top target to beat this November – committing $131 million so far to blast the airwaves with attack ads smearing my name.

$1 million is a big investment – but I green-lit this new spend because we cannot let the GOP's lies shape the narrative of our race. So please, will you rush $5 or more today to help me close my budget gap, keep reaching voters with our message, and win in Ohio?

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.

Thank you.

Will you RSVP for a Good Trouble Lives On event near you?

Dear MoveOn member,

My name is Nancy, and I'm a fellow MoveOn member and volunteer from Chesapeake, Virginia. Let’s face it: Donald Trump does not want me or people who think like me and you to vote.

But I am sure that you, like me, believe that voters should choose their leaders, not the other way around. But right now, we’re witnessing a Jim Crow-era-like effort from Trump and his billionaire friends to strip away our freedoms and silence Black and Brown voters to consolidate their power.

Just last week, Donald Trump fired members of the Election Assistance Commission and threatened to cut off funding from states that don't comply with his orders to change their states’ voting rules.^1,2 He wants to take control of our elections so he can control the outcome.

The attacks are relentless—and that’s the point. They want us intimidated, quiet, and hopeless. But we aren’t giving up. We will decide our future, choose our leaders, and ensure that the will of the people prevails.

That’s why, this weekend, on the sixth anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, I’m hosting a Good Trouble Lives On event in my community to continue the fight for voting rights with nonviolent collective action. There are more than 500 events taking place July 17-19 around the country, including near you. Will you find and attend an event close to you?

If our vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to take it away. If we weren’t so powerful, they wouldn’t try to silence us. That’s why we need to keep showing up.

We know that our right to vote is directly tied to the issues that impact our lives. From healthcare to housing to our ability to live and thrive in our communities, our vote makes a difference. Every person should have an equal say in the decisions that impact our lives.

Congressman Lewis’s call to "get in good trouble, necessary trouble” couldn’t come at a more pivotal time. Our right to vote is under attack, but we will come together in the spirit of Congressman Lewis’s legacy. I hope you’ll join me.

Find an event near you on the map and RSVP to join an event in your community.

Thanks for all you do.

BREAKING: a federal judge just called out Trump's crooked lawsuit

Pamela, a federal judge just called out Trump's crooked Trump v. IRS lawsuit – going as far as saying it was an attempt to "manipulate the judicial process" and referred Trump's lawyers for potential disciplinary action for violating ethics rules. [1]

Common Cause was the first to blow the whistle and point out that a president can’t sue himself for personal gain. Read on to see how our legal action and advocacy have protected taxpayer dollars and pushed back against Trump's attempt to grant himself broad immunity.

Pamela, big news: after Common Cause filed a lawsuit to stop Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund, backed by thousands of members like you speaking out, the Administration is reportedly retreating. [2]

You’re a Common Cause member, so I’m sure you’ve been following this story, but just to recap:

First, Trump sued the IRS – which he controls – for $10 billion. Common Cause immediately sounded the alarm, taking legal action to disrupt his Department of Justice’s plan to rubber-stamp it and activating our members to demand Congress stop this scheme.

Then, he struck a phony settlement to take $1.8 billion of YOUR tax dollars to pay January 6th insurrectionists – money that should be going to serve the American people, not Trump's cronies.

So, Common Cause took immediate action, collecting over 180,000 petition signatures and filing a lawsuit to stop this unconstitutional cash grab.

Now, thanks to public outcry YOU helped create, we’re hearing that the Trump Administration may be abandoning this fund altogether. [3]

Why’d we pick this fight? It’s hardly the most dangerous action from an administration that’s starting illegal wars and kidnapping our neighbors.

But Pamela, we took a big, early bet that this story was the single most effective way to show EVERY American who Donald Trump really works for: himself. And it paid off – the public pressure we helped generate could help end this slush fund.

We’ll keep our foot on the gas – keeping up our legal case to ensure this crooked deal is gone for good and encouraging our members to speak out.

We’re hosting a press conference and rally tomorrow with senators, small business leaders, and January 6th police officers to make it clear: Congress needs to act swiftly to prevent corrupt misuses of public funds.

Common Cause is YOUR watchdog against the corrupt authoritarians who want to destroy everything our country is supposed to stand for.

And today’s big retreat by Trump proves it: with your help, we can and will stop them and move our country forward to the democracy we all deserve.

Thanks for all you do,

The team at Common Cause

P.S. We’re able to take on and win fights like these because members like you contribute what they can to make it possible. If you agree these fights are worth the effort – and want Common Cause to keep showing up when it counts – will you chip in today?

– DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE POLL –
DEADLINE: 11:59PM TONIGHT

There are less than 120 days until the 2026 midterm elections. Today, we want to know how confident you feel right now about Democrats’ ability to take back Congress.

Please, take our quick Democratic Confidence Poll:

I feel confident that Democrats can flip Congress
I’m nervous about Democrats’ ability to flip Congress
I am not confident that Democrats can flip Congress

CONFIRM YOUR SELECTION HERE

Before the general election.

Folks, my campaign’s mid-month filing deadline is approaching – and this one’s different.

This is my campaign's final FEC deadline before general election voting begins in Virginia.

When we close the books at midnight Wednesday, we will be legally required to report our finance numbers publicly again. That means it's the last chance for people to see the organization and momentum behind this campaign before the general election officially kicks off in Virginia.

Can you split a donation between my campaign and Chuck Schumer to help my team meet our $100,000 fundraising goal before the mid-month deadline?

Before I ask anything more of you, I want to say something first: Thank you. I know emails like these come often, and that every dollar grassroots supporters like you chip in is a real decision.

Here's what that support has been going up against:

A GOP super PAC has committed to spending $5.6 MILLION to defeat VA Democrats and hold onto their competitive House seats. They know that Virginia is critical in the fight for control of Congress, and they’ll do whatever it takes to hold onto power.

Your support, alongside thousands of your neighbors across the Commonwealth, helps us build the campaign infrastructure we need not just to hold this Senate seat, but also support Democrats in critical red-to-blue races – races that will determine the balance of power in the House in November.

That's the fight. And that's why your donation matters now. Friend, will you split a donation between Chuck Schumer and my campaign before our mid-month, FEC deadline? This truly is the most important deadline my team has faced.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Chuck Schumer and Mark Warner will go through immediately:

Thank you – the fight continues,

Mark Warner

This could set us up for failure

Hi, can I have just 60 seconds of your time?

July is one of the hardest months for fundraising for grassroots campaigns like ours.

Not many people know this, but the bulk of our fundraising comes from folks like you chipping in to emails like this – so when folks aren't as reachable as usual in the summer, our budget takes a hit.

But here’s the reality: We have goals we have to hit to ultimately win this race – and falling into a summer slump could set us up for failure.

So today, I’m asking you to chip in what you can – for three key reasons:
