Donald Trump just threatened to eliminate vote-by-mail.

I’ll be clear: Trump's threat to eliminate mail-in voting is a dangerous attempt to suppress the votes of the American people.

Mail ballots are safe, secure, and trusted by millions of Americans — including members of the military and seniors — who rely on them to make their voices heard.

The truth is simple: Trump knows his agenda is unpopular, so he's trying to limit who gets to participate in our democracy.

60 years ago, my dad, Henry, marched from Selma to Montgomery to ensure his vote would be counted. Once again, our most sacred freedoms are on the line, and I will always fight back against efforts to silence Illinoisans' voices.

But I can’t do this alone. If we’re going to protect voting rights and keep Illinois a firewall against Trump’s extremism, I need you in this fight with me.

Can you chip in whatever you can today to help us build the grassroots movement it takes to defend democracy and win? Your support will help me take our fight to Washington.

We’ve come too far to let Trump drag us backward. Together, we’ll make sure every voice is heard, every vote is counted, and Illinois keeps leading the way forward.

Together,
