<p>John,</p>
<p>Hundreds of supporters like you have chipped in so far to help launch our <strong>Black Voter Registration Program</strong> to register 99,000 Black voters across six states before the midterms.</p>
<p><strong>We need all hands on deck in this critical moment for our democracy—<a href="[link removed]"><strong>chip in $55 today to register five new Black voters! Every $11 registers one new voter.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Last weekend, thousands returned to the original battlegrounds where our ancestors fought for the right to vote in the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, places now facing renewed and escalating attacks, for a nationwide day of action to protest the attacks on voting rights.</p>
<p><strong>People came together from across the country once again because they know an attack on Black voters is an attack on freedom for all Americans.</strong> The legal architecture the Supreme Court just weakened is the same architecture that protects Latino voters in Texas, Native voters in Montana and Arizona, Asian American voters in California, and newly naturalized Americans in Atlanta, Houston, and Phoenix. Black voters are democracy’s most reliable engine for progress, so an attack on our power is the first move in a broader assault on everyone the powerful decide is expendable.</p>
<p>I have been doing this work for more than thirty years, I have never once seen the damage stop with the community it targeted first. <strong>The morning after the Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act, Black voters were not the only people who woke up more vulnerable.</strong> LGBTQ+ families did. Women did. Workers did. Disabled people did. Immigrants did. Every person whose rights depend on equal protection, enforceable civil rights law, fair representation, or an independent judiciary did.</p>
<p>Rights in America do not stand alone. <em>They stand together or they fall together.</em></p>
<p><strong>We're not backing down. <a href="[link removed]"><strong>Are you with us?</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>In Solidarity,</p>

John,
After the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act last month, states wasted no time dismantling majority-Black districts. The message is clear: if they can't stop Black people from voting outright, they will redraw the maps and change the rules until they have silenced our votes.
The consequences are immediate. Nineteen members of the Congressional Black Caucus are now at risk of losing their seats. That includes Jim Clyburn, the man whose endorsement made Joe Biden president. Bennie Thompson, who chaired the January 6 Committee. Cleo Fields in Louisiana, whose district was at the center of the Supreme Court ruling. Al Green and Marc Veasey in Texas, whose districts were already carved up to dilute Black voting power.
Losing those seats means losing Black voices on schools, healthcare, and housing for a decade or more.
There is one thing the Supreme Court did not touch: the power of getting Black people registered to vote.
Voter registration is not paperwork. It is power. It is how we fight back.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed because Black people faced poll taxes, literacy tests, and outright intimidation designed to keep them from the ballot box. The barriers look different today. The goal is the same. We will not allow it.

P.S. $55 registers five Black voters. Those five people will vote in 2026, 2028, 2030, and every election after that. The math compounds. Chip in today.
