John,

I founded the Democracy Defense Fund on a simple, urgent principle: to serve as a xxxxxx against authoritarianism by investing in key races across the country, from the U.S. Senate down to state legislative seats.

In an age where billionaires like Elon Musk are ready to stuff millions of dollars into Republican candidates’ coffers, our work ensures that strong candidates who actually represent working Americans can not only keep up with mind-boggling amounts of dark money spending, but prevail against it.

We coordinate directly with organizations like Hold Them Accountable and help them offset campaign costs, like running ads or sending campaign literature, while amplifying their message to a national audience.

We know that when Democrats work together and support one another, we win. That’s why I’m reaching out today:

With 2025 gubernatorial and state legislative races coming to a head this November, and next year’s midterms just around the corner, we’re fighting to get organizations like Hold Them Accountable the support they need to help win races and get us one step closer to taking back Washington. If you’re with us, can you split a contribution between our organization and Hold Them Accountable today?

We know that the political world moves fast, and next November will be here before we know it.

That’s why in addition to securing our anti-Trump regime xxxxxx in state legislatures across the country, we’re building our war chest so that we can be ready to support organizations like Hold Them Accountable the second they need help.

If you’re ready to multiply your donation and ensure that the Democracy Defense Fund can support Democratic candidates across the country ahead of 2026, split a contribution between the Democracy Defense Fund and Hold Them Accountable so we can get to work.

Thanks for helping us make a national impact, John.
