NBC NEWS: Trump takes executive action targeting ActBlue

NBC NEWS: Trump takes executive action targeting ActBlue, the main Democratic fundraising platform.

Trump just signed an Executive Order weaponizing the Department of Justice against ActBlue — the small-d-democracy donation site that powers nearly every Democratic campaign and organization, including ours.

Can you chip in $3 (or whatever you can) right now to help ActBlue fight back and keep our grassroots engine running?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between ActBlue and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

Donate $500 now Donate $250 now
Donate $100 now Donate $50 now
Donate $27 now Donate $20 now

Or, donate another amount.

Trump is trying to use the power of the federal government to silence political opposition.

Billionaires like Elon Musk spend millions to support Republicans, while Trump is attacking a platform that fuels small-dollar grassroots Democratic campaigns.

ActBlue has placed this notice on the website:

This is a partisan attack on grassroots organizing. The ability to chip in a few dollars to candidates we support is one of the ways that non-billionaire voters make our voices heard.

Top Democrats and campaign experts are sounding the alarm:

"This is the latest in a line of attacks from the far right that tries to basically use lies to affect people’s confidence in ActBlue." – Jack Yao, Democratic Strategist

"There’s no platform with ActBlue’s reach you could swap in tomorrow… Democrats should protest, fight [Trump’s actions] in court, keep using ActBlue." – Tim Lin, Democratic Digital Strategist

Trump’s goal is simple and obvious: choke off the grassroots pipeline that lets millions of people give $3, $10, or $27 to the candidates and causes they believe in. If he succeeds, every Democratic fight — from protecting health care to defending reproductive freedom — will be starved of resources.

Rush a donation now to help ActBlue take Trump to court, keep the lights on for every campaign that relies on it, and show the country that bullying just make Democrats stronger.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
