John — I know how exhausting this moment feels. Every day, Republicans are tearing at the fabric of our democracy and stripping away our freedom. Some days, the road to taking back power seems impossibly long. 

But here's what I want you to remember: Step by step, race by race, the work we do together is building the movement that will defeat Donald Trump and his allies.

I wake up each morning with the unshakable belief that the women we elect today will not only be the center of winning back power, but ultimately they will be the leaders of the movement that saves our democracy. When I step into the EMILYs List office, I'm surrounded by people — veterans of this fight and brand-new interns alike — who carry that same fire in their hearts. This is what fuels me, even on the toughest days.

John, I won't pretend this is easy. We're facing a well-funded opposition up and down the ballot from the Republican Party. Donate today to help Democratic pro-choice women take back power:

The women we support bring leadership that is rooted in their lived personal and professional experience and their deep ties to their communities — they're small business owners who know what it takes to keep local economies strong, journalists who've held the powerful accountable, teachers who've seen students go without the resources they need, and mothers working to make sure their kids have a fair shot at a secure future. They're running because they refuse to let extremists write the next chapter of American history. And because of their backgrounds and experiences, they are uniquely equipped to connect with voters, win tough races, and deliver the bold leadership this moment demands.

Right now, these Democratic pro-choice women are at the center of critical races that will determine whether we reclaim the U.S. House majority in 2026 — and with it, our ability to lower costs, expand access to quality health care, and build an economy that actually works for American families. 

Meanwhile, Republicans are using every tool at their disposal, from stacked courts to gerrymandered maps to voter suppression tactics and shady billionaire money, to roll back decades of progress.

It's enough to make you want to scream. But because we've been through this before, we're well-prepared for the challenge. 

The only thing standing between Republicans and total control is us — our movement, our collective action, and the women we elect together. Will you chip in today to make sure we win?
