Friend,

The right to vote is sacred, and I'm fighting each and every day in the Senate to protect it. In a moment, I'm going to ask you to contribute to our pro-voting rights, pro-democracy campaign – but first, let me explain why I urgently need your support today.

Right now, Republicans are leading an all-out assault on our constitutional right to vote – by attempting to ram through more than 360 new voter suppression bills in 47 states across the country. They're doing everything they can to silence voters and prevent Democrats from ever winning another election. It's Jim Crow in new clothes, friend. It's shameful, it's anti-democratic – and nowhere is it more egregious than in my home state of Georgia.

Georgia Republicans' new voter suppression law restricts voting access, limits the use of ballot drop boxes and even makes it illegal to give food and water to voters in line. I'm working hard to fight back and ensure all eligible voters can participate in our democracy – but the GOP is attacking me at every turn.

So here's the truth: The future of voting rights – and the future of our democracy itself – is on the line in this Senate race, and I need your immediate grassroots support to fight back and win.

But with the Senate split 50-50, Republicans have to flip just one seat to retake control for Mitch McConnell – and NBC News reports that I'm their top target for defeat. You can bet they'll spend whatever it takes to smear my name, crush our people-powered movement and try to buy this seat.

That's why I'm personally asking for your help, friend. This Senate race will be neck and neck – which means we have zero margin for error. And if we don't raise another $8,482 by midnight tonight – exactly what we need to stay on track with today's critical fundraising goal – we could fall behind in Georgia and ruin our chance to keep the Senate blue.

So please: Will you give $5 or more now – as much as you can spare before our crucial midnight deadline – to help me win in Georgia, defend our Democratic Senate majority and protect our voting rights for generations to come?

Thank you for never backing down on the issues that matter most.

– Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock
