Dear MoveOn member,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer, a role model, and a friend.
As a young mom heading off to Rutgers Law School, I saw so few examples of
female lawyers or law professors. But Ruth helped me learn to persist.
She'd been teaching at Rutgers right before I got there. I'm forever
grateful for her example—to me and to millions of young women—and for all
she achieved for us in her dogged, lifelong pursuit of justice.
Now it's up to us to honor Ruth's remarkable life. Honor what she fought
for. Honor how she never gave up, no matter how hard the battle.
John, control of the Senate is up for grabs—and it's never been
more critical.
In South Carolina, Jaime Harrison—a champion for working people—has defied
all odds, come from behind, and is tied in the polls with Lindsey Graham.
By fighting alongside Jaime, we fight back against the Senate Republicans
who are trying to steal another Supreme Court seat and undermine our
values for generations to come.

this powerfully important Senate race. Will you chip in $3
now directly to Jaime Harrison's campaign? 100% of your donation will go
to his campaign.
Lindsey Graham chairs the Judiciary Committee, so he oversees Supreme
Court nominations.
He told us in 2016, "I want you to use my words against me: If there's a
Republican president … and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first
term, you can say Lindsey Graham said, 'Let's let the next president,
whoever it might be, make that nomination.'"^1
And he promised in 2018, "If an opening comes in the last year of
President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait
till the next election."^2
But mere hours after Ruth passed, he said that he'll support Donald Trump
"in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the
passing of Justice Ginsburg."^3
We can't let him get away with it. John, use your anger. Use
your pain. And use your power. Speak out. Make your voice heard.
[ [link removed] ]If you're able to, please make a $3 donation directly to
Jaime Harrison. Everything is on the line.
Born and raised in rural South Carolina, Jaime has lived the struggles so
many in the Palmetto State face every single day. He has deep empathy,
character, and integrity.
We need him to fight for our values in the Senate. We need him, not
Lindsey Graham, voting to fill Ruth's Supreme Court seat.
We can do this, together. Side by side. The power is in our hands.
[ [link removed] ]Please, if you can, donate $3 now to help elect Jaime
Harrison and flip the Senate to Democrats.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a fighter. She never gave up. And neither do we.
We persist.
Thanks for being a part of this.
–Elizabeth Warren
