John, we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss Attorney General Eric Holder’s note — the work ahead of us is daunting, but it needs all of us. 

That’s how we beat back Trump and Republicans’ attempts to undermine the census last time around. It’s how we have effectively fought partisan gerrymanders to create the fairest electoral maps in decades. And it’s how we’ll challenge every attempt to weaken the right to vote in America.

Please take a moment to read A.G. Holder’s advice, and then rush a donation to fight back to protect our democracy from MAGA extremism.

John,

This isn’t like last time around.

For much of the first term, the Trump Administration’s incompetence tended to mitigate some of their malevolence. Even then, they still managed to do serious damage to our democracy and enact parts of an extreme agenda when the checks in our Constitutional system didn’t work as they should have.

But now, with a Republican-led Congress seemingly unwilling or incapable of standing up to this administration — or worse, eager to assist its most extreme power grabs — it’s clear that the best check left on Trump’s power is us. It’s the power of the people — a power that — history proves — is too often underestimated.

When they try to contort electoral maps to sculpt an electorate that’s friendlier to their partisan pursuit of power, it’s on us to push back in the name of fairness. When they try to undermine the census and even change the constitutional definition of citizenship, it’s on us to fight back with everything we’ve got. And when the voters head back to the polls, it’s on us to champion Democracy Defenders who will help right the ship and minimize the damage.

I can promise you that the NDRC will not back down from these fights — so today, I am personally asking you to make a donation to help fund the hard work of protecting our democracy from those who want to break it.

There is no doubt the path ahead will be rocky. We will fight on many fronts and we will lose some battles. But if we don’t fight them, in every way we can, we will lose everywhere and our democracy will be unalterably damaged, if not destroyed.

And listen, there’s no team I’d rather be working alongside. Remember, President Obama and I founded the NDRC just days before Donald Trump was inaugurated in 2017. We quickly learned not just how to play defense but even how to make progress amidst this broken landscape — whether it be by successfully advocating for fair maps or electing pro-democracy champions in state-level races across the country. 

Remember — we are still in control of our own destiny. We are the stewards of our democracy. And we still have it in our power to shape our country’s future.

The hard work of fighting for our rights and fighting for what’s right is happening all around us, and we need you with us every step of the way, John. Will you make a donation to the NDRC today?
 
Thank you,

Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States
