John,

At a fundraiser last week, former President Barack Obama had a blunt message for Democrats:

“Stop looking for the quick fix. Stop looking for the messiah. You have great candidates running races right now. Support those candidates.”

He’s right — and Team Emily is already taking those words to heart!

➡️ That’s why our grassroots team is knocking doors for Deb Krishnadasan, who is running THIS YEAR to hold Emily’s former State Senate seat.

➡️ That’s why we’ve adopted the super-swingy Arizona’s 6th District and are channeling our efforts to send JoAnna Mendoza to join Emily in Congress.

➡️ And that’s why Emily is using every available tool — newspaper op-eds, social media, speaking on the House floor, and more — to communicate the disastrous effects of Trump’s Big Bad Bill on working people.

Our challenges are massive, but this team has never backed down from a fight. 

Can you heed President Obama’s call and chip in to fuel our organizing in Washington and across the country?

Obama continued:

“What’s being asked of us is make some effort to stand up for the things that you think are right. And be willing to be a little bit uncomfortable in defense of your values. And in defense of the country. And in defense of the world that you want to leave to your children and your grandchildren. And if we all do that, if we do our jobs over the next year and a half, then I think we will rebuild momentum and we will position ourselves to get this country moving in the direction it should.”

Thank you for everything you do 💙
