John,
We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but Donald Trump has been busy assembling his band of far-right, loyalist cronies to help him influence the 2022 midterm elections.
He's already recruited both Ted Cruz and Newt Gingrich to do his bidding. First, Trump announced that he’s teaming up with Cruz to try to win back seats for the GOP in 2022.
Then, Trump announced that he is also working with former GOP-House speaker Newt Gingrich to craft what he's calling a new "Contract with America." It's a tactic that Gingrich first employed when he released a sweeping, anti-woman legislative agenda ahead of the midterm elections in the middle of President Clinton’s first term in office. It was largely successful the first time around — and we can't let history repeat itself in the upcoming midterms.
Despite losing the presidency because of this Women's March team and our progressive allies, Trump is *clearly* still a major player in the GOP. He's rallying his base to try to turn back the clock on women's progress in 2022, and we can't allow the GOP to win back ANY of the House or Senate seats we fought so hard to win. Democrats currently have the slimmest House majority in modern history, and midterm elections are historically difficult for the president's party.
That's where you come in, John. In order to defend our majorities and fend off GOP attacks on our elections, we need to get organized earlier than ever before. Women's March's organizers and volunteers are getting ready to combat the GOP's attacks — but that won't be possible without the proper funding. So we're asking:
Trump teaming up with anti-woman politicians like Cruz and Gingrich is a stark reminder that, despite the fact that Women's Marchers kicked Donald Trump out of the White House last election, Trump's allies are *still* doing his bidding. And they're setting their sights on the House AND Senate majorities that women and allies organized tirelessly to win.
We urgently need to defend the progress we've made, John. Flipping the White House and Senate wasn't easy. These wins were the direct result of this team's tireless work — and making sure that the GOP doesn't roll back our progress, either at the ballot box or in state legislatures, requires organizing work all year round. There can be no "off-years" for our movement, so we have to ask you one more time:
Keep fighting,
Women’s March
