John,

I hope you'll take a moment to read this. Democracy is under assault
nationwide and Georgia is ground zero. You need to know our strategy and
how YOU specifically, John, can continue to make sure we defeat
Republican voter suppression and win the Senate again in 2022.

The fight to stop and overcome voter suppression does not have an
overnight solution. It takes work -- day after day, month after month, and
year after year. 

When we endorsed Stacey Abrams, we hit the ground running on day one of
her campaign in 2017 and never stopped. We knew, after Brian Kemp
successfully managed to use every Republican voter suppression tactic he
could to eek out a victory, the only way we'd win in 2020 was to double
down, go deeper, and stay engaged. 

That's why we never left Georgia.

We supported critical court cases that overturned voter suppression laws
and stopped illegal purges of Black voters by raising money and providing
back-end support for organizations like Fair Fight.

We supported the founding of the Black Male Voters Project through the
work of our Political Director Mondale Robinson by fueling growth,
delivering resources and then partnering to Text Out The Vote for the
General Election and the Georgia Run-Off.

And of course, we endorsed Rev. Raphael Warnock raising over $40,000 and
making over 3 million voter contacts of infrequent Black, brown and
progressive white voters in the Run-Off Election during Get Out The Vote
alone. 

We still haven't stopped. This is our long term strategy in Georgia,
modeled off of our successful campaign that turned Virginia blue over 6
years of constant statewide organizing in multiple elections supporting
dozens of candidates. 

Now, we must win again in 2022. Rev. Warnock, Stacey Abrams, and the
entire nation are counting on victory if we're going to keep the U.S.
Senate and finally defeat Governor Brian Kemp.

So here's the deal: DFA isn't funded by Wall Street billionaires,
corporate checks, or even institutional foundations.

DFA is funded 100% by you.

In fact, over 97% of contributions of the 70 million dollars we've raised
for progressive candidates and causes in our 17 years has been less than
$100 each.

That's how we've stayed true to our grassroots people powered mission day
after day and year after year. That's how we win candidate after candidate
and issue after issue. We've stayed true because we're funded by you.

You power this movement and we need you to step up again. [ [link removed] ]I'm asking
you commit to a contribution of $5, $15, or more monthly to fuel the
critical year around work needed to defeat voter suppression in Georgia
and nationwide. Please do it now >>

The bottom line is that defeating the onslaught of Republican voter
suppression in Georgia isn't easy and it's not free. It takes resources.
It takes passion. It takes you!

We're grateful to still be a people-powered organization after 17 years
and we're honored that power comes from you. Thank you for powering the
fight for a better America every day.
