Friend,
The years since Donald Trump took office have been incredibly dark, but I'm finally starting to feel hopeful about our future again. Americans came together to defeat the most significant threat our democracy has faced in a long time. On top of that, we delivered unified control of the House, Senate, and White House to Democrats for the first time in 10 years.
That's a lot to be proud of. But even still, I spend a lot of time thinking about this quote from President Obama:
"In recent years, our institutions, our democracy, and truth itself have been greatly tested by those who've chosen to prioritize personal gain or political ambition over our democratic principles. And even a good election will not eliminate those threats."

He's right. As hopeful as I feel about our future given the potential we have to make big, positive changes in the next few years, I'm also fully aware that all of the progress we're able to make is just one election away from being rolled back.
Make no mistake: Republicans haven't gained a newfound love of democracy, voting rights, and fair maps after losing the White House and the Senate. In fact, the GOP organized Project REDMAP to help gerrymander their way into past majorities when they couldn't win them fair and square. This time around, we're already seeing renewed attempts from the GOP to suppress the vote in states that saw record turnout, like Georgia.
I'm proud to say that my colleagues and I at the NDRC will be working hard to stop Republicans from locking themselves into unearned power for the next decade. But all of our work depends on support from people like you, friend.
If you're able, please make a donation today to help us reach our $50,000 end-of-month goal and keep up our fight for voting rights and fair maps:
