John,

We're trying something new.

Politics moves fast, and there's always more we'd like to share than will fit into a single email. So from now on, we'll send you a quick midweek catch-up with a few things we think are worth your time, followed by a longer Saturday roundup of what we've been working on - and how you can do your bit to help.

Here are three things we think you won't want to miss this week.


** Is Trump laying the groundwork for obstructing the midterm elections?
------------------------------------------------------------

Matt Gallagher’s Substack piece takes a look at the worrying strategy taking shape in the United States - and why people in Britain should be paying attention too.

If you've ever wondered how democratic safeguards are weakened piece by piece, this is well worth a read.

** If you want to rewire Britain, you have to rewire democracy too
------------------------------------------------------------

Andy Burnham has talked about rewiring Britain. Now that he's Prime Minister and beginning to set out that agenda, our recent Ugly Politix article feels more relevant than ever. It explores why fixing the way power works isn't a distraction from tackling the country's biggest challenges - it's the foundation for solving them.

** Help us make electoral reform one of the PM’s first priorities
------------------------------------------------------------

In less than a week, we'll deliver our petition to Downing Street calling on the Prime Minister to establish a National Commission on Electoral Reform in his first 100 days.

More than 11,000 people have already signed sending a strong and clear message that fair elections and votes that count cannot wait.

If you haven't added your name yet, there’s still time to sign and share the petition.

Finally, if you value our work, please consider making a donation today.

Open Britain doesn't have billionaire backers. Everything we do - from protecting democracy and working to make every vote count to tackling dark money and campaigning for fairer elections - is only possible because people like you choose to support it.

Thank you for doing your bit to help make democracy work for everyone.

All the best,

Cathy Monaghan
