John, 

Right now, Republican officials are waging an all-out attack on the foundations of our democracy – and we can’t afford to ignore it. The abuses of power in GOP-controlled states are so extreme that even the ultraconservative Supreme Court has ordered Republicans to tone down their blatant discrimination and gerrymandering in the South. But as Republicans continue to defy the Court, that won’t be enough to stop them.

That’s why Emerge is taking action to replace far-right officials at every level of government and help achieve a representative democracy for our country. And we have a crucial update for you: We just kicked off our recruitment efforts for our Southern Regional Signature Program!

That means we’re increasing our efforts to empower more Democratic women to run for office and WIN in critical southern states, and we need your help to power our movement forward. We will actively recruit in states like Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Florida, and more!

Please, with the direction of our country at stake: Will you donate $5 or more to Emerge now to empower Democratic women to run for office and flip seats from red to blue across the country?

Emerge’s Signature Program is the ONLY in-depth training program that inspires women to run and gives them the tools they need to win.

Democratic women in the South are already incredible leaders, mobilizing communities to resist far-right policies from voter suppression to attacks on our marginalized neighbors. They’re the leaders we need to defend our democracy, from the school board to the U.S. Congress, and Emerge has the tools, strategy, and network they need to succeed! 

With hundreds of Emerge alums in office across the South right now, we know our recruitment and training programs are working. Trailblazers like Georgia U.S. Representative Lucy McBath, Tennessee state Senator London Lamar, and Virginia state Delegate Danica Roem are all part of our growing ranks of powerful Emerge change-makers. But we can’t stop now. We need majorities of bold Democratic women at every level to turn our country around. So please, John:

Donate $5 or more to Emerge right now – before our next big deadline at midnight – to help recruit, train, and empower Democratic women to run for office and flip states blue.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Thank you for being a part of this important movement.

Brianna Carmen,
Political Director, Emerge

P.S. As we're recruiting and building for 2024, we're looking for folks like you to help us sustain our programs. The most impactful thing you can do for Emerge today is to make a recurring contribution. Please, will you sign up to become a sustainer here?
