John,

I know the news is nonstop. Every day it feels like another attack, another threat, another piece of our democracy under siege. I understand that political emails are probably the last thing you want to read.

But I want to be honest about why we send these emails and why your support matters more than ever.

Right now, Republican-controlled legislatures and a Trump White House are pushing policies that endanger our rights, our public schools, and our communities. They are gerrymandering districts, slashing funding for essential services, and making it harder for everyday people to have their voices heard.

Winning isn’t just about stopping the next attack. It’s about training and empowering the next generation of Democratic women who will stand up, run for office, and fight back at every level, from school boards to Congress. That’s what Emerge does best. That’s what your support makes possible.

Our alums are on the front lines every day, shining a light on corruption, defending the vulnerable, and showing up when others run from the fight. Without grassroots donors like you, we won’t have the resources to recruit, train, and support more women like them.

If you’re able to chip in today, it would mean so much. And if now isn’t the right time, thank you for standing with Emerge and the women leading this work.

We can’t do this without you.

In solidarity,
A’shanti F. Gholar
President & CEO, Emerge
