Hey John,
You may have seen that I was arrested last week while protesting for voting rights at the Capitol. I seemed to have caused quite a stir, and I went on cable to talk about why I was at that protest.
In the entire history of this nation, most of it has been spent without the right to vote for Black people. Only the past few decades have Black people been legally allowed to vote, and even now Republicans are trying to gut that right again.
It may not be as obvious as the Jim Crow laws, but the GOP is hoping for the same result by purging Black voters from rolls, removing polling locations from Black communities, and instituting harsh ID requirements that disproportionately impact Black folks.
They’re hoping for the same results as Jim Crow laws, they’re just better at hiding it now with their Jim Crow 2.0. Will you donate to our campaign today so we can protect the right of Black people to vote in this country?
Republicans are rewriting the rules to suit them for next year’s midterms, and they’re raising boatloads of cash to defeat Democrats. Tomorrow is the last day before our fundraising deadline, and I’m determined to show Republicans that we aren’t going down without a fight.
Will you help us show Republicans that they can’t defeat us even if they try to tip the scales in their favor? Donate today and they will know we won’t stop fighting.
Thank you for your support,
— Hank Johnson
