John, it’s no secret that political pundits don’t think much of Democrats’ chances to defend our narrow Senate majority this year.

NPR: Democrats hold the Senate now and face long odds of keeping power. They're just defending more seats than Republicans and, in some cases, defending seats in states that voted for Donald Trump in the past.

John, the talking heads are right — the odds are stacked against us in the Senate. But what they don’t factor in is the power of the Democratic grassroots movements like ours.

We’ve had tough fights for Senate control for the past two cycles — but we work hard, donate what we can, and have defended our narrow majority.

Together, we’ve beaten the odds and we’re ready to do it all again.

The stakes of this election are higher than ever. A Republican-controlled Senate would push a national abortion ban, try to block SCOTUS nominations, shield Donald at every turn, and much, much more.

Now it’s time for this team to get off the sidelines and back into the fight.

Can you chip in $25 toward our Defend the Senate Fund to re-elect vulnerable Democrats in places like Ohio, Montana, and Pennsylvania, while helping defeat GOP extremists like Ted Cruz and Rick Scott?

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

We’re fighting an uphill battle, John, but I promise that if we win, all the hard work will have been worth it.
