This Independence Day, we'll commemorate the brave actions of our founders who dared to declare independence from tyranny. They envisioned a country where freedom, justice, and democracy would reign supreme, free from the unjust rule of monarchs. 

As we approach the Fourth of July, we're all preparing to celebrate the birth of our nation in the way that feels most meaningful to us. Whether it's a backyard barbecue with family, watching fireworks fill the sky, or simply reflecting on the incredible journey of our country, we all have our traditions. 

This year, I plan to spend the day honoring the great strides we've made as a nation. But I’m also focusing on the work that’s left to do. Today, we find ourselves striving to free our democracy from a different kind of tyranny – the partisanship and polarization of the two parties that leave too many commonsense Americans in the middle feeling left out and unheard. As Ryan Clancy, our chief strategist, eloquently put it: 

"Why is it that when every single poll says two thirds of people don’t want what our major parties are selling, the response from our political system is: ‘You just have to take it.’ Why is that an acceptable outcome?" 

It doesn't have to be, and with your help, we can change it. We’re making incredible progress in our effort to secure ballot access in all 50 states for the 2024 presidential election so that Americans can have a greater choice at the ballot box if they’re unhappy with the two major party nominees. We’re already on the ballot in five states, with more to come. 

Your support has been crucial in helping us reach this point. Your belief in our mission and your commitment to a democracy that isn’t beholden to the political extremes are what keep us going. But our work is far from finished. We are at the end of our fundraising quarter, and we're making a big push to meet our donation goals. Your continued support is vital. 

That's why I'm asking you today to contribute to this important cause. Your generous donation will be instrumental in helping us achieve our mission of securing ballot access in all 50 states. In the spirit of the Fourth of July, I ask you to consider making a donation to No Labels 2024 to help Americans declare their independence from the partisanship that holds the nation back. 

Thank you for your commitment to our cause. Together, we can shape the future of our democracy just as the Founders did 247 years ago. 

With gratitude,  

Margaret White
