JOHN,

Donald Trump and his administration are not just fighting a political battle—they are waging a war on the foundations of a free society. They are attempting to dismantle the institutions that enable diverse opinions and a robust public square.

First, they used their power to get Stephen Colbert fired, and now Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been canceled.

These aren’t just TV shows; they are platforms for satire and criticism, tools of a free press. Silencing them is a move straight out of any autocrat's handbook.

But it goes deeper. They are also trying to shut down ActBlue, the very engine of grassroots Democratic fundraising. They're trying to choke off our ability to organize, to fund candidates, and to make our voices heard. They’ve gone after this platform with bogus accusations, all in a thinly veiled attempt to starve our movements, candidates, and organizations of the resources they need to survive.

This is what happens in places like Russia and China. This is not what is supposed to happen in the United States of America. We cannot stand by and watch this happen. We cannot let them silence our voices, censor our dissent, and dismantle our ability to fight back.

This is a fight for our right to exist as a political opposition, to hold differing opinions, and to organize to protect the very values on which our democratic republic was built.

It is a fundamental test of our resolve. We must not surrender. We must fight back.

We need to raise $35,000 in the next 48 hours to fund our work to defeat Trumpism and support the fighters who refuse to be intimidated. Every dollar you give is a direct investment in the future of our democracy. Please, chip in what you can to fuel our fight.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you for standing with us.
