Arena Community,

Amy Coney Barrett was just confirmed to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.

There’s no sugar-coating this. It’s bad. Amy Coney Barrett will be a reliable vote for the GOP as they try to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and come for our basic rights like access to abortion and marriage equality.

Things will be much worse if we don’t elect Democrats at every level of power, including state legislatures -- where the GOP routinely pass laws with the intent of having controversial cases reach the Supreme Court.

We’re working hard to make sure the 75 state legislative candidates we're supporting have the funding, resources, and knowledge they need to win. Over the next eight days, we need to be ready for anything. That's where you come in.

Chip in to flip seats, flip state legislatures, and build a line of defense against Amy Coney Barrett.

Many Supreme Court cases start with bad laws at the state level. Take for example Arizona vs. United States in which the Supreme Court upheld Arizona state law SB 1070's notorious "show me your papers" provision. Setting a discriminatory precedent and allowing a law that invites racial profiling to stand.

Over the next eight days you have a chance to make sure bad laws like SB 1070 never get passed in the first place.

We chose to support 75 candidates in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas 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.

This election cycle has been like none other. Arena has been with our candidates every step of the way helping them adapt campaign tactics to the COVID-19 era and fight back against dirty Republican tactics. Your support makes our work possible.

Now, more than ever, electing Democrats to state legislatures is a critical line of defense for your most basic rights. Grassroots donors like you are going to make all the difference this year -- chip in before it’s too late.
