This week's victory was a win for democracy, John.
John,
As the week wraps up, we wanted to share some good news before you log off for the weekend!
In a moment, we’ll briefly recap what you might have missed, but first, can you pitch in to power the important work of the Voter Action Project? They're on the frontlines of restoring and expanding voting rights across the country to make our democracy stronger and could use your help!

In case you missed it:
- After incumbent Justice Allison Riggs narrowly won reelection to the North Carolina Supreme Court in November, her GOP rival launched a massive legal campaign to overturn the will of voters.
- The GOP attempted to throw out more than 65,000 lawfully cast ballots, citing several bogus ‘election integrity’ issues. Sound familiar?
- For six months, millions of dollars were spent, hundreds of legal documents were filed, and it took thousands of volunteers to finally secure a narrow win for democracy.
But we’ll be honest with you, John. This news, while a relief, is not going to fix everything.
Anti-democratic justices still hold a majority on the state Supreme Court and still have the power to uphold any anti-voting bills the state legislature passes.
This means our work to defend our democracy is far from over.
Whether you live in North Carolina or across the country, this week secured a crucial victory in our larger fight to safeguard democracy from far-right extremists.
In the era of Trump 2.0, we must protect our rights and freedoms every day, without pause. We can’t let up now.
That’s why we must commit to building a better democracy that works for all of us, and organizations like the Voter Action Project are making it happen.
But this fight takes a lot of resources, John. So if you have $5 or just a few dollars to spare, can you chip in today to support the Voter Action Project?

As always, we appreciate your support!
In solidarity,
