Dear friend, Charles Koch has made his 2020 goal clear: To use his money to launch a wide-reaching elections-based effort that could impact nearly 200 federal and state races this year. Top Koch official Emily Seidel told CNN that "...the people who thought that we may have been backing down from politics are going to be surprised because the reality is we've been strengthening our capabilities to go bigger than ever before." Protect our democracy from the Koch Network's influence today. WE are NOT surprised! This tactic comes straight from the Koch Network playbook of using their funds to shape election outcomes in their favor. While nobody in the Koch camp will share how much they plan to spend on this year’s campaigns, we know that in previous elections, Koch networks have doled out hundreds of millions of dollars, almost as much as the National Republican Committee spends. We don’t have those types of resources, but we do have YOU! Will you chip in today to help us continue to push back against Charles Koch and his network of dark money players? We’re working hard in areas like criminal justice reform and fair courts, both of which will be in jeopardy with Koch-backed politicians elected at the state and local levels. Americans for Prosperity (the political arm of Koch’s network) has already endorsed a number of harmful candidates, with plans to come out in support of many others in the coming days. These are candidates that fight for the rights of corporations --not people-- and roll back environmental protection policies. Help us fight back against this billionaire-funded election invasion. Every little bit counts! Sincerely, The Team at UnKoch My Campus
