John,
Republicans and right-wing groups like the Heritage Foundation are generating a coordinated wave of anti-democratic, Jim Crow voter suppression bills across the country.
In 49 states, Republicans have introduced voter suppression bills sitting in their state legislative chambers — many taken word-for-word from drafts shared far and wide in conservative circles by far-right think tanks.
There are over 400 bills total.
And in 18 states, 30 of these bills have been passed into law in just the last 8 months.
There is no denying it: Voting rights are under assault.
In June, the Supreme Court upheld two voter suppression laws in Arizona, a state that helped send Joe Biden to the White House and secure our 50-50 Senate majority.
This is no ordinary debate on voting rights or election security. This has now become an all-out assault on our Democracy.
This week, the House passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act as our latest step to protect voting rights from this unprecedented campaign of suppression. Without a single Republican vote. That tells you everything you need to know about the modern-day GOP.
So I’m asking for your support right now. We must protect the foundational right, upon which all others rest — the right to vote.
We need every resource possible to defend our majorities in the face of GOP voter suppression. Will you pitch in $10 or $25 right now?

No matter what happens, we cannot afford to be outspent by Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy. They will lie, cheat and steal votes if it helps them regain power.
America is at a turning point, and the question of if we will protect our democracy or watch it slip away depends on whether our brand-new Democratic majorities can advance the cause of voting rights and prevail in the midterm elections.
I’m doing everything I can to ensure that we do. Thanks for all your support.
