THE TORTURED STATE LEGISLATURES DEPARTMENT

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised us.

Oh, isn’t that a coincidence? Taylor Swift just released an album called “The Tortured Poets State Legislatures Department” and it’s a perfect representation of Forward Majority’s relentless fight to build Democratic power in state legislatures.

With just THREE days left until our first end-of-month deadline of the second quarter, it’s more critical than ever that we pool our resources together to fill Forward Majority’s war chest and say So Long, London extremism 👋

We’re Down Bad for state legislatures because this is where real progress — progress that will impact each and every single one of our day-to-day lives — is created. Unfortunately, it’s also where the worst of extremism is created.

Arizona!!! (feat. Arizona + the extremist Republican Machine) — Just a couple of weeks ago, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled to allow an abortion ban dating back to the Civil War to take effect. The majority of Arizona House Republicans — A.K.A. The Smallest Men Who Ever Lived — initially wouldn’t even allow a vote to debate repealing the ban.

Taylor was onto something, though, because one thing about The Tortured State Legislatures Department is that we have a history of saying, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can).

Just look at our work in Virginia — How Did It End? In 2023, we invested $1 million to win a Democratic majority in the Virginia General Assembly — AND we protected abortion rights in Virginia!

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me Forward Majority? Extremist Republicans nationwide. We have the strategy, we have the plan, and we know how to get the job done. With abortion, voting rights, and democracy on the line, this is an incredibly consequential election year and all we need now is your support.

We’re filling the Forward Majority war chest to the MAX to ensure we have the resources to run persuasion, optimize our targeting, and drive voter engagement between now and Election Day. Can we count on you to donate $25, $10, or any amount possible to support our work ahead of our critical end-of-month fundraising deadline on Tuesday?

What can we say, we’re obsessed with electing Democrats to state legislatures. Taylor’s new album clearly gets it.
