John,
On Friday, a California man was arrested and charged with sending death threats to Fani Willis, the female district attorney in Fulton County who is prosecuting Trump for 2020 election interference. The man suggested that she "will be killed like a dog", echoing the rhetoric of the former president.
Women's March has been sounding the alarm about the threat of political violence -- a reality that hits particularly hard for women engaged in politics, like us and many of you and your loved ones.

Less than a month ago, The Guardian reported that a survey of gun owners revealed that an alarming number are willing to engage in political violence. The real risk to political leaders and activists, especially women, must not be ignored or underestimated.
We won't let harassment and intimidation stop us. But we must take the threat of political violence seriously, and take measures to ensure the safety and security of our staff, volunteers, and participants.
John, can you contribute to our increased security and safety costs?
Help us stay loud, stay in the streets, and keep each other safe.
In resistance,
Tamika Middleton, Managing Director
