My name is Angie Nixon. I am the Democratic nominee for Florida's Senate race. In one month, I will stand trial. I face 2 years prison.

This is my story.

Three months ago, I staged a sit-in outside of Ron DeSantis' office.

I was protesting the Jim Crow gerrymander that Republicans shoved through the state house within hours of the Louisiana v. Callais ruling. A ruling that was plainly intended to stop Republicans from being thrown out of office during the midterms and eliminate Black representation.

If you want a senator who will stand up to powerful interests no matter the personal cost, will you chip in $5 to help send me to the U.S. Senate?

They handcuffed me and charged me with resisting an officer and trespassing (see pic above). The maximum sentence if convicted is two years in prison.

If they think the threat of a trial is going to make me back down, they picked the wrong woman.

Last week, I became the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Florida in a stunning political upset.

Republicans are going to do every single thing they can to stop me from beating them in November -- including throwing me in prison if they can.

I am emailing you today to respectfully ask you to help me shove this blatant abuse of power back in their face.

Please, chip in any amount you can, even just $5, split between my campaign and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee right now. Together we are going to retake the Florida Senate race and show Republicans that their abuses of power will not stand.

Thank you for standing with us at this critical moment.

– Angie Nixon, Democratic Nominee for US Senate, Florida
