Arena Community,

This year’s state legislative elections will determine who we send to Congress for the next decade.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Future Now Fund to invest $6 million -- and counting -- to flip seats, flip legislatures, and fix gerrymandered districts.

The next 13 days are crucial. Chip in to help the 75 candidates we’re supporting in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas flip their seats and flip their state legislatures.

Last week, HuffPost featured our investment in these five states. We chose these states because their Republican majorities are paper-thin and the policy stakes are huge. In most cases, we only need to flip a handful of seats to fix Republican-made state crises like racial gerrymandering and restrictions to Medicaid.

The future of our democracy hinges on this election cycle -- but it’s not just about the White House. The GOP controls Washington in part because they’ve spent decades investing in state legislatures, where the power of redistricting can effectively decide the outcome of federal elections long before voters reach the ballot box.

Now, as Election Day nears, Republicans are pulling out every dirty trick in the book to suppress the vote and misinform Americans. Our job is to help our candidates fight back.

It’s critical in the next 13 days that candidates are able to combat anything the GOP throws at them. Flipping state houses could come down to just a handful of votes in a small district, and your support could make all the difference.

Chip in whatever you can to make sure our candidates have all the resources they need to flip state houses in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas.

Arena’s investment in candidates goes beyond the dollar. We've deployed our best-in-class training and coaching to build top-notch campaigns. Over the last year, we’ve provided financial and strategic support, trained hundreds of campaign staff to solve discrete problems unique to the COVID-19 era, and fully funded the highest impact voter contact tactics.

Along with our partners at Future Now Fund, we’re making sure the campaigns have the critical skills and knowledge they need to win -- even as the election landscape evolves like never before. Gifts from grassroots donors like you make this all possible -- if you can, chip in before it’s too late.
