John, we’re about to ask you to contribute $5 before our upcoming mid-quarter deadline [[link removed]] – but first, there are a few things you should know:
 * 
   Our
   Democratic
   Senate
   majority
   is
   razor-thin,
   and
   we're
   defending
   two-thirds
   of
   the
   seats
   up
   for
   election
   this
   November. 
   Democrats
   are
   defending
   some
   of
   the
   most
   competitive
   seats
   nationwide,
   in
   states
   Trump
   won
   by
   a
   landslide
   in
   2020.
   
 * 
   Our
   rights
   are
   on
   the
   ballot
   in
   this
   election. 
   With
   our
   Democratic
   majority
   on
   the
   line,
   so
   are
   critical
   policies
   like
   the
   right
   to
   abortion,
   lowering
   health
   care
   costs,
   a
   national
   paid
   leave
   program,
   and
   much
   more.
   
 * 
   We’re
   not
   on
   track
   to
   reach
   our
   monthly
   fundraising
   goal. 
   <
   Next
   month,
   we
   have
   to
   publicly
   report
   our
   fundraising
   totals
   and
   the
   press
   will
   use
   our
   FEC
   report
   as
   an
   indication
   of
   how
   much
   momentum
   Democrats
   have
   in
   this
   election.
Asking you to chip in $5 might not seem like much – but if everyone reading this chipped in $5 right now, we'd get back on track to meeting our monthly goal in no time. So, can we count on you to chip in $5 today? [[link removed]]
