John,

I was just in New Orleans with our team knocking doors for a DFA endorsed
candidate, and it was incredible the rate at which people opened their
doors. Everyone opens their door and wants to talk. Most of the time, we
didn't even have to knock! They were out on their porches already enjoying
the beautiful weather and watching over the neighborhood.

Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina... These
states can flip!

Think about all the possibilities there are in the South. It is ripe for
flipping for Democrats. It's possible in these states just like it was
possible in Georgia and Virginia before we flipped them.

The south has only been a Republican stronghold for so long because
candidates and organizations aren't talking to the voters who reliably
turnout for Democrats. I’m talking about the New American Majority of
Black and brown voters.

These states could flip tomorrow if we could just organize and activate
those voters. And that's the problem. Few large national organizations are
doing it. But we are and, with your help, we can take it to the next
level.

We must build up our organizing efforts in the South. If money were no
object, we would have staffers on the ground today, registering voters and
knocking doors in every state, talking about how Republicans are
attempting to silence voters and make it tougher for them to vote.

[ [link removed] ]We must build the organizing infrastructure needed to flip these
states, and we know that with the resources to do it, our dream of
flipping the South will become a reality. Will you contribute today to
help us build up our organizing infrastructure in the South?

You have already done so much to protect our democracy and support our
work here at DFA. We would not have won this past election without the
support of generous people like you in the progressive movement.

Now it’s time to get creative and ramp up our efforts.

There is no such thing as an off-year election. It’s time to throw out the
old playbook and imagine what could be if we thought outside the box and
focused our energy in the right places.

Today I hope to find 200 people to donate $5, 80 people to donate $20, and
5 people to donate $500 to reach our goal and fund stage one of this
important grassroots power-building work. Please donate at whatever level
you can afford today and let's work together to make history.

donate now: [link removed]

Thank you so much for your continued support of DFA's work. Keep believing
and dreaming.

Together we can lead America forward to a better future for all.

– Yvette
