Team,
“Democracy itself is in peril, here at home and around the world. What we do now, what we do now … will determine whether or not democracy will long endure.”
That's how Joe Biden commemorated Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery, with a reminder that our democracy is fragile and we need to work to protect it every day.
On January 6, you saw insurrectionists tear down the American flag and replace it with a Trump 2020 flag. A month later, we saw Republicans acquit Donald Trump and celebrate him as the future of the GOP. Lawmakers in Washington still have to walk through metal detectors to legislate, but that didn't stop Republicans from blocking bipartisan legislation to establish a January 6 commission.
As Biden noted, the biggest question now is whether democracy can win out over opposing “powerful forces.”
You know as well as we do that the GOP doesn't care about preserving our democracy. They care about staying in power at any cost.
We at Progressive Majority know the dangers of authoritarianism, and we know you do too. Now more than ever, we need your help to make sure the party of seditionists never gets control of Washington again.
But things aren't looking good. The GOP is on track to take back the Senate AND the House by next year. We're doing our best, but Democratic fundraising has plummeted, and we rely on every dollar to keep our organization running.

Not many Americans are paying attention to politics right now, especially not after what we endured in 2020. Thank you for staying engaged and being a long-term ally to progress when our country needs it most.
We know we can accomplish more working together.
