John,

Did you see this? June 20th is our chance to ensure abortion remains legal in Virginia next year. 

We only have a slim one vote pro-choice majority in the State Senate because one of 2 Democrats who make up our majority, Joe Morrissey, is a "pro-life" Democrat who'll sign any awful anti-choice Republican garbage.

But we have the perfect solution! If you join us, in less than 3 weeks we'll replace the anti-choicer with progressive champion & former State Delegate. Laschrecse Aird, who's challenging Morrissey in the June 20th primary.

Aird is exactly the kind of candidate we must get behind. She grew up impoverished to a teenage mother and father who worked multiple jobs to get by. This motivated Aird to run for the VA House of Delegates. 

In 2021, she was named Legislator of the Year by the Virginia Education Association. Aird was also lauded by the Virginia Chamber of Commerce for job creation. Two very different groups--both seeing Aird's accomplishment and integrity. Now that's someone who can bring people together.

Not surprisingly, when comparing Aird to Morrissey, this was the result:

Aird has made abortion rights the centerpiece of her campaign, running for "Roe Not Joe." She'll be taking that fight all the way to June 20th, but early voting has begun, so we must SUPPORT AIRD NOW or risk an anti-choice majority! 

Will you join Blue Amp Action's own "Roe Not Joe," fundraiser, and support Lashrecse Aird with $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can?

Thank you and have a great long weekend!

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
