Quick: name the worst things that Donald Trump did in the past month.

It’s a hard question to answer, right? He’s doing so much, so fast to try to hurt working people, reward the rich, and tear down our democracy that it’s hard to keep track of it all.

I’m constantly following the news cycle as Communications Director for Fair Fight, and I see how Trump and his MAGA allies flood the zone with attack after attack. It’s part of an intentional strategy to make us feel too overwhelmed to fight back. So we have to be intentional in our response.

Here’s an idea: in this email, let’s drill down on one specific, deeply harmful thing he’s tried to do recently. Then let’s make sure more people are aware of it — maybe they missed it in all the deluge of destruction!

And this is a big one, because our very democracy is at stake.

Last week, Trump signed an executive order that reads like a MAGA fever dream. It’s a lawless power grab to try to seize control of our elections and silence voters. It:

* Requires Americans to show documents like passports or Real IDs that indicate citizenship status to use the federal voter registration form, even though many people don’t have or can’t access those documents — impacting at least 21 million Americans’ voter registrations, with Black, Latino, rural, low-income, and naturalized voters most impacted.
* Potentially could result in tossing out overseas and military ballots that were mailed on time and arrive after Election Day.
* Gives Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency the power to comb through state voter rolls. That’s right: an unelected oligarch with roots in apartheid South Africa would help decide who’s American enough to vote.
* And more.

We need to make sure more people know that free and fair elections are on the line with this executive order — we can’t let it get buried.

And while Trump tries to distract us with chaos and disinformation, one of the best ways for us as individuals to push back is to share credible info online and in real life.

Here are three stories for you to check out and share — on social media, in an email to a family member, on a local organizing listserv, wherever you can reach people!

Democracy Docket wrote about how voting rights leaders and experts like Fair Fight CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo are responding to this new piece of the MAGA anti-democracy agenda: “Trump Anti-Voting Order Draws Furious Pushback.” [[link removed]] She issues a rallying cry that’s going to stick with me.

I broke down Trump’s executive order in an op-ed for Zeteo. Read it here: “The MAGA and Musk Fever Dream to End Democracy.” [[link removed]] I promise: it’s not doom-and-gloom, and it lays out how we can each fight back.

You should also check out what Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock had to say about Trump’s attempted federal takeover of elections: “When we were trying to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, we still left voting to the states…Republicans kept saying, ‘It’s a state issue.’ Now you’ve got the president reaching down from on high, clearly trying to set the table for whatever outcomes he wants.”

Read more from Senator Warnock’s interview with Courier. [[link removed]] If you’ve got a conservative cousin who supports Trump but thinks states should make the rules on things like elections, they should see Senator Warnock’s argument! (By the way: every day, I’m proud that Fair Fight helped send this morally clear-eyed champion to the Senate.)

Share one, two, or all three of these pieces to help draw more attention to this threat.

Thank you for helping to raise the alarm. And thank you for everything you do as a Fair Fight supporter to power this work. We’ll continue to expose the MAGA anti-democracy agenda, organize locally to defend the freedom to vote, and help elect voting rights champions up and down the ballot.

As I wrote in my op-ed, autocracy thrives on isolation, so we all have to fight back, together. I’m really glad to have you by my side. It’s our democracy, and we’re gonna fight like hell to save it

Thank you,

Max

Communications Director
