John,

Yesterday, Donald Trump announced JD Vance as his Vice President pick at the Republican National Convention.

Here's what we know for sure: JD Vance is an anti-choice Republican who applauded the overturning of Roe v. Wade and supports a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. In response to the success of the abortion rights ballot initiative in Ohio last year, Vance said: “There is something sociopathic about a political movement that tells young women (and men) that it is liberating to murder their own children.”

Vice President Kamala Harris is a bold Democratic woman and an Emerge co-founder, and it is up to us to ensure she is still our vice president in 2025.

Emerge is at the forefront of empowering Democratic women to run for office, and our alums are hard at work to ensure reproductive rights are protected everywhere. But we need your help to ensure we’re training more Democratic women to run for office up and down the ballot to win in November.

This is urgent and we must meet our $25,000 fundraising goal. Will you contribute $25 or more to ensure Emerge has the resources to empower Democratic women up and down the ballot?

Thank you for your support,

Team Emerge HQ
