Republicans are closer than you think to rewriting the U.S. Constitution. Here's how we can stop them.
Hi there,
Constitutional conventions don't make many news headlines, but they should be a top-of-mind concern for all of us.
If Republicans flip just five more state legislatures, they have enough votes to rewrite the Constitution — without any input from Democrats whatsoever.
That's why EMILY's List works so hard to flip state legislatures and elect pro-choice Democratic women at the state and local level. 200 years of progress depends on it.

Republicans currently control 29 state legislatures — and they need just five more to call a constitutional convention and rewrite the United States Constitution.
Donate today to help elect pro-choice Democratic women at the state level and protect our Constitution:
Hi there,
If Republicans take control of just five more state legislatures, they can rewrite the United States Constitution — and erase 200 years of progress.
They are too close for comfort on this one.
That's why we've targeted eight states where we think we can flip chambers and take back control from Republicans intent on stripping our rights.
Donate now to elect pro-choice Democratic women in this year's most critical state legislative races and protect the Constitution.
State and local races don't always make national headlines. But they should.
For decades, the Republican electoral strategy has involved spending big money to elect right-wing, anti-choice candidates at the state level — and, in large part, they've succeeded.
Now, the Republicans are just five state legislatures away from calling a constitutional convention where they could fundamentally reshape the Constitution. This could change everything about the way we live, from our access to reproductive health care to our ability to vote.
We cannot let them roll back centuries of progress for women, immigrants, and people of color. We need to fight back by electing pro-choice Democratic women at the state level.
EMILY's List is proud to have endorsed hundreds of women running to represent their communities in their state legislatures. Donate now to help these candidates win and save our democracy from the looming danger of a Republican constitutional convention:
