Hi John,

In a few hours, we’re going to watch our future President of the United States speak to so many impassioned Americans here in Chicago and all throughout the country. That thought makes me think of one word:

Joy.

Trust me: it only feels like yesterday when we were in the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. When we saw insurrectionists take over the Capitol building and the Supreme Court overturn Roe. We cannot go backwards.

We have made so much progress during these last four years. And now, we get to watch history in the making with Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the first Black and Asian American woman to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

Over the last four days here in Chicago, everybody (and I mean everybody) has turned out in huge numbers with such excitement and enthusiasm about our vision to make America a place for everyone to get ahead.

And with Vice President Harris, she’s given us more than just joy – she’s given us hope and a clear vision for the future.

Up and down the ballot, Democrats know that Americans are tired of hearing about Donald Trump and all those weird guys who support Project 2025. We’re digging in deep to ensure that they don’t win in November and to preserve our democracy from the hands of far-right, MAGA loyalists.

With the DNC coming to a close, the fate of America is in your hands. Will you chip in $20 or more to help us elect a Democratic White House, Senate, and House of Representatives? [[link removed]]
