Hi John, it's Lily Tomlin.

I don't know about you, but I'm having trouble keeping up with the news lately.

One day it's ICE agents targeting neighborhoods. The next it's climate safeguards being dismantled to enrich Big Oil. Then it's civil rights protections under attack. And through it all, Trump is growing bolder and more authoritarian by the day.

It feels like we're watching democracy unravel in real time — and too many people are acting like this is just politics as usual.

It's not. And this is absolutely no time to be complacent.

That's why I'm reaching out on behalf of my dear friend Jane and her incredible team. They set a goal to reach 1,500 grassroots donations before Sunday to power their work to elect leaders who won't bow to Trump or the dirty fossil fuel industry. Can they count on your support today?

Jane and I have been through a lot together: protests, arrests, award shows, Grace and Frankie… enough shared history to fill several books (and trust me, some of those stories are good).

But what I admire most about Jane is that she's never stopped fighting. At 88, she's still organizing, still doing everything in her power to fight the good fight for our planet and democracy.

She's not slowing down. And neither should we.

I know you're probably getting a lot of emails asking for money. But this one matters. Every donation — whether it's $5 or $50 — sends a message that we're not backing down while our rights are stripped away and authoritarianism takes hold.

Can I count on you to help Jane's team reach their 1,500 donation goal before the end of the month?

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

Let’s do this!
