Friend,

Before we turn the page on 2025, we want to take a quick look at the work we did together. Because of people like you, willing to show up with courage, we mobilized thousands of Americans who stood up for truth, integrity, and democracy when it mattered most.

Thousands of Americans who believe in the Country First mission signed petitions demanding accountability. Over 41,000 contacted their legislators through our Days of Action. And 12,700 joined us for Dash for Democracy, proving that when ordinary people decide to act, it still matters.

That's what we built this year. And it's just the beginning.

2026 will be a critical year for our future. We've got midterm elections coming up. We'll celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. And we're in a moment when misinformation spreads faster than the truth, making our collective voice more important than ever.

That’s why we’re getting ready now. We’re expanding our Days of Action to give more Americans the tools and courage to contact their representatives and demand accountability. We’re organizing in communities that feel forgotten. We are reaching people who are fed up and ready to do something about it. And we will be launching a first-of-its-kind campaign that will mobilize Americans from all walks of life (be on the lookout early next year for more details).

We're building a movement of ordinary Americans who refuse to stay silent, people like you, Friend, who know that courage isn't optional anymore. 

But, I'm going to be straight with you. None of this happens without resources, and that’s where you come in. 

Can you make a year-end gift to Country First and help us hire more organizers, reach new communities, and scale up our advocacy so we’re ready for whatever 2026 brings?

I’ve never stopped believing that America is worth fighting for, and I know you haven’t either. Together, we’ve proven that courage is contagious. Now let’s carry that into 2026, louder, stronger, and more determined than ever.

With gratitude,

Adam Kinzinger
