John,

I'm no longer as scared as I was Thursday night.

Since then, Social Security Works supporters and progressives around the country have delivered a strong reminder: Joe Biden alone didn't beat Trump in 2020. We all did.

Joe Biden didn't stop Trumpcare, and its destruction of Medicare and Medicaid. We did.

We're not giving up because of a bad debate. We will still defeat Donald Trump and his cronies who want to loot Social Security's $2.78 trillion trust fund.

P.S. If you missed my first reaction to the debate, here's our previous email:

Donald Trump scared the heck out of me last night, John.

I’ve got the same feeling in my gut that I did on November 9th, 2016—the day after Donald Trump’s election. The horrible thing we didn’t think could happen is happening again.

Here’s the difference: It’s June. While we didn’t have the power to stop Donald Trump after Election Day in 2016, we do now.

Trump’s threat is extremely real. And we can mobilize to stop him. Can you rush a donation to Social Security Works today to remind voters of the REAL stakes of this election?

In 2017 and 2018, Social Security Works was an integral part of the massive resistance to Donald Trump. We didn’t wait for political leaders then, and we don’t need to wait for them now. We can still stop Trump’s reign of terror.

In 2025, we’ll be right back on the front lines if we have to. But the best time to block Trump’s anti-Social Security, anti-health care agenda is now.

Here’s the problem: Democratic donors love to make donations when it’s too late. After Trump won, we were raising 4-6x every day what we were before. After Justice Ginsburg died, fundraising exploded. In both cases, it was too late to be maximally effective.

It’s not too late now. We have a plan to reach seniors whose votes Trump is counting on and remind them that Donald Trump was the worst president for seniors in history. Can you rush a donation today?
