Indivisibles,

We've got some exciting news: We're launching a new campaign to keep the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court out of MAGA hands! Most people probably haven't
heard about the November Supreme Court election, but it's a must-win race
with serious implications for abortion access and voting rights in
Pennsylvania -- and for the outcome of presidential elections for years to
come. 

The race pits far-right Carolyn Carluccio against Democratic candidate
Judge Dan McCaffrey. To secure the Republican nomination, Carluccio ran
hard to the right to appease the MAGA base. She took aim at our democracy
by suggesting the 2020 election was stolen and that she would roll back
the freedom to vote by mail. She had also been unabashedly anti-abortion
and aligned herself with the most extreme anti-abortion groups in
Pennsylvania (before ultimately trying to scrub her website of any
reference to her record on the issue).

Carluccio is far out of step with the majority of Pennsylvanians, but she
still poses a formidable threat thanks to the millions of dollars from
billionaires, corporations, and national Republicans propping up her
candidacy. 

This one race won't make or break Democrats' majority on the court, but
with justices serving ten-year terms, a win by Carluccio will have lasting
consequences -- leaving Democrats with a narrow one-seat majority and
putting MAGA Republicans on the path to retaking the court two years from
now. We can't let that happen. 

In a battleground state like Pennsylvania, a MAGA-controlled state supreme
court would wreak havoc on our elections and democracy, with devastating,
national consequences. 

That's why we're committed to getting out the vote this November and
protecting the liberal majority on the court for the long term. [ [link removed] ]If

our goal of $15,000 so we can fund our GOTV work and win this November.

Since retaking the court in 2015, the Democratic majority has played a key
role in deciding how Pennsylvania’s elections are run. In 2018, they
overruled a Republican gerrymander and implemented new congressional
districts. In 2020, the court issued multiple rulings defending
vote-by-mail and stood as a xxxxxx against Trump's attempts to overthrow
the election. 

Over the next decade, the court will continue to play a significant role
in defending our democracy by ruling on voting procedures in high-stakes
elections and potentially shaping the redistricting process after the 2030
census. 

Despite the stakes, this race isn't getting much national attention from
progressive groups because it only threatens to take us to the brink of a
MAGA majority -- it won't result in an immediate flipping of the court.
But a one-seat majority on a court this important is not something we
should feel comfortable with -- and the fact that this race isn't getting
a lot of attention is exactly why it's so important for this movement to
step up and fill the gap. 

Pennsylvania groups are committed to getting out the vote, and we’re ready
to boost their efforts with reimbursements, support for local group-led
peer-to-peer texting, and a revamped version of our Neighbor2Neighbor
canvassing program. All in all, we're estimating this will cost $15,000
and we're counting on our grassroots donors to help fund this work. [ [link removed] ]So,
