Friend,

I am blown away by how this community has come together in the past several days.

Given the choice between sinking into despair about the future or rolling up your sleeves and recommitting to the work of electing pro-choice Democratic women, you picked the work.

Many of us worked through a lot of grief this weekend. But we did the work. And I am confident that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who raised young children and balanced an extraordinary workload at Harvard Law School while her husband had cancer, and then later in life battled back her own cancer diagnosis FIVE TIMES, would approve.

There are only two days left in our Flip the Senate Fund, and the stakes couldn't be higher. We are working around the clock to help our women win, defend the future of the Supreme Court, and protect Justice Ginsburg's legacy.

Donate $3 now if you can and help make sure we win in November:

I know we can do it — through the grief, through the anger, through the worry — we can do the work.

Thank you for being a part of it,

Friend,

The Supreme Court, and our country as a whole, has lost a brilliant woman.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the architect of the legal fight for women's equality. She was a groundbreaking lawyer, a devoted wife and mother, and only the second woman to ever serve on the Supreme Court. A fierce protector of women's rights, civil rights, and reproductive rights, she was a hero to all of us, and she will be greatly missed.

Her legacy isn't just important to us — it is the very foundation of the work we do every single day, electing pro-choice Democratic women and fighting for reproductive freedom across this country.

With her passing, we know the fight for equality, for women and families, and for the very fate of our nation, must go on. It was the work of her life, and it is our duty to carry that legacy forward.

There is a long road ahead, but I know I am forever grateful for Justice Ginsburg's life and legacy and for being in this fight alongside each and every one of you.

May her memory be a blessing — and an inspiration for all of us.
