Friends,
Donald Trump has called Mexicans criminals, drug mules, and rapists.
He called white supremacists “very fine people.” He referred to Haiti and a group of African nations as “sh*thole countries.”
But if you ask him directly, Trump will tell you he’s “the least racist person there is.”
Donald Trump knows we know he’s lying. That’s why he and his Republican allies are trying so hard to suppress the votes of Americans of color this election -- passing racist voter ID laws, closing polling places in minority communities, and even recruiting an army of “poll watchers” who’ll be able to ask voters of color to step out of line and answer questions about their citizenship before they’re able to cast a vote.
We’re replacing GOP bigots with progressive politicians of color, and we’re doing it this election. The entire team at ASPIRE is working to increase diversity in government, breaking the Republican stranglehold on Congress, giving a voice to the disenfranchised, and stopping the dangerous demagoguery of Trump and his allies before it puts even more Americans at risk.
But right now, we’re falling very short of our fundraising goal. Trump and the RNC have already spent almost a billion dollars to buy the president’s re-election -- and they entered July with almost $300 million still in their war chest. If we want to beat them in November, we can’t fall short. If we fail, they win.
Because we have so much ground to make up, one of our donors has stepped up and offered to match supporter gifts until midnight. That means that right now is the moment when your donation goes the farthest -- because right now is the moment we need it the most.
Thank you for standing with us,
ASPIRE
