Hi John,
When we launched Friends of the List, we weren't just thinking about support for this election cycle. We were thinking about every election cycle to come. Because the truth is, billionaires like Elon Musk aren't in this fight for only one cycle. This is the new oligarch playbook: mega-wealthy men backing extreme candidates who will protect their power and money, not the people.
At EMILYs List, we're not backing down. Democratic pro-choice women have always led the toughest fights. And with your support, we're preparing for what's next.
In January, I watched in disbelief as the world's richest men bent the knee to Donald Trump at his inauguration. It was shocking. But it was also clarifying. It reminded me that their wealth can buy influence — but it can't buy legitimacy, it can't buy character, and it can't buy the future we're fighting for.
Because here's what I also know: with the strength and dedication of the Friends of the List community, we are going to change the face of power in this country.
While these new oligarchs are trying to rig elections and rewrite the rules to serve themselves, we're building something entirely different. We're building real power from the ground up — power that comes from people like you, not billionaires, leading the charge to elect more Democratic pro-choice women up and down the ballot.
You can still be a FOUNDING MEMBER of Friends of the List. This moment is bigger than one election. Join today and help shape the future that we want, not what these oligarchs choose for us:| DONATE $15 PER MONTH | DONATE $20 PER MONTH |
| DONATE $30 PER MONTH | DONATE $40 PER MONTH |
| DONATE $50 PER MONTH | DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT |

We're doing digital fundraising differently. Friends of the List is a new program by EMILYs List that gives your inbox a break, but keeps you plugged into our mission-critical work of electing Democratic pro-choice women nationwide.
When you commit to a monthly donation of $15 or more, you will get access to our sustainers-only Substack, A Seat at the Table! Plus a host of other perks. Find out more, and get on the list:
