John,

This is Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, and I’m the Democrat running to defeat Rick Scott, serve Floridians as our next U.S. Senator, and defend our Democratic majority. 

I’m reaching out to update you on the fight for abortion rights here in Florida — because, perhaps more than anywhere else in the country, the stakes here for reproductive freedom couldn’t be higher. 

As I write to you, Ron DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban is going into effect. This ban will create life or death situations for millions of Floridians. Because politicians like DeSantis and my opponent, Rick Scott, are so intent on stripping Floridians of their freedoms, families right now could be subject to untold pain.

But there is hope, John. The Florida Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a ballot initiative to let the people — and not extremist politicians like DeSantis and Scott — decide the future of reproductive rights in Florida this November. If this ballot initiative succeeds, abortion rights will be enshrined into our state constitution, making DeSantis’ abortion ban null and void. 

Here’s the truth, John. Despite what the political pundits would have you believe, Florida is NOT a red state. Polling currently shows me NECK AND NECK with Rick Scott and analysts at The New York Times have called him one of the most vulnerable Senators in the country. But Scott spent $64 million of his own fortune to buy Florida’s Senate seat last time around, only winning by 0.12%. I know we can defeat him, but it will take your grassroots support, which is why I’m asking: Will you split a donation between me and Blue Amp Action to help me protect abortion rights, defeat Rick Scott, and save our Senate majority?

Thank you,

Debbie

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
