Hi there,

With all that 2020 has thrown at this country already, it's tempting to wonder what's next.

But in a matter of hours (or more like a matter of days), we won't have to wonder any longer.

We, the American people, are deciding right now what's next. We are voting, we are donating, and we are volunteering to make sure each and every voter gets to the polls and has their vote counted.

Because our work is more essential than ever.

If we want to achieve anything at all in the next two years — whether it's COVID-19 relief for struggling Americans, affordable health care, action on climate change, or any number of serious challenges our country faces — we NEED a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And if Roe v. Wade and the ACA are struck down by the Supreme Court, we're going to need as many smart, strong, pro-choice Democratic women in state legislatures across the country as possible, protecting the rights and the progress we've fought for.

Pro-choice Democratic women are running up and down the ticket and across the country, and I know each and every one of them could make positive changes in their community if given the chance.

All this starts with us making the decision today that we are going to stay focused. We are not going to let up. And we are going to fight like hell to make sure our voices are heard.

If we do, I know we can build this nation back better than ever.

Thank you for everything that you do. This work is only possible because of you.
