John,

While the 2022 midterm elections may seem far off at the moment, it will determine whether Democrats or racist, insurrectionist Trump Republicans will control the Senate, House, and numerous state legislatures -- and it's not as far away as you think.

That is why we've already begun building the campaigns to win in critical targeted districts across the country. It's why we've alerady begun endorsing, driving volunteer action, training campaign staff and raising money for progressive candidates running in 2022.

We also know that the amount of money we raise and – more importantly – the number of grassroots donors we have will directly fuel our efforts to protect progressive members of Congress, expand our majority in the House and Senate, and pass critical progressive policy from voting rights and racial justice to healthcare and climate change.

That's why this fight can't wait. We must start now.

Donate right now to fuel the massive effort it's going to take to win back state legislatures, expand upon our slim majorities in the House and Senate, and elect progressives up and down the ballot in 2022.

John, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, we will face a tough battle in 2022.

In 2020 alone, just one group, the Republican-led Congressional Leadership Fund, spent over $135 million to help far-right Republicans come within five seats of winning the House.

That same group now has big plans to help Republicans win in 2022.

And because Republicans control numerous state legislatures already, redistricting alone gives them an edge to pick up seats in Florida, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina.

We cannot let that happen.

So, we’re laying down the critical groundwork to win in 2022 by building campaign infrastructure, organizing volunteers, and training candidates and campaign staff.

People believe in our movement, but we can’t slow down or let up now, especially in a year where many folks do just that.

November 2022 may seem far away, but wealthy Republican donors have already started raising money for numerous campaigns, and the investments we make today can decide the outcomes of these races right now -- not a year from now.

Make no mistake: races can be won and lost in these early months. That’s why we’re asking you to become a DFA Defender today. Whether you contribute $5, $15, $50 or any amount you can, your donation will fuel and sustain our work electing progressive leaders at all levels and in all 50 states.

Thank you for supporting DFA. Grassroots progressives like you are absolutely critical in making sure we have the resources we need to build winning campaigns across the country.
