[ [link removed] ]We need your help to stop the far-right takeover of battleground Virginia!



Dear People For Member,

Apologies for emailing again so soon after our last message ... but
there’s some not-so-good news we wanted to share with you.

The latest poll of likely voters in Virginia has the far-right Republican
candidate Glenn Youngkin up by five percentage points — a lead that is
outside the poll’s margin of error! ^[1]

Youngkin: 48%

McAuliffe: 43%

People For is ready to meet the high stakes and competitiveness of this
race with our biggest-ever electoral program in Virginia. But we’ll only
be successful if our supporters like you can chip in and help fund this
program.



[ [link removed] ]So, we’re asking: please make a 3X-MATCHED donation right away to win
Virginia and continue all the progress we’ve made >>

As a member of People For, you know what’s at stake — not just for
Virginians but for the country.

* Keeping Democrats in the governor’s office and the legislative
majority means that we have a chance to make Virginia the final state
needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
* If far-right Republicans win the governorship and take over the House,
they'll be further along in their efforts to gerrymander this critical
bellwether state’s legislative districts.
* Virginia is also one of our top target states to join the National
Popular Vote Compact, which would effectively end the racist and
anti-democratic Electoral College – but if the Far Right takes control
of the state government, there’s zero chance of progress on that
front.
* Finally, what happens in Virginia in just a few short weeks here will
set the national tone and determine who has momentum as we head into
the 2022 midterms.

Early voting has already begun in Virginia. And the dire consequences of
electing a Trump-endorsed, ultra-wealthy extremist –whose campaign
playbook is built on lies, conspiracy theories, and appeals to racist hate
and stereotyping – just cannot be overstated.

Thanks to a generous matching grant from one of our funders, all donations will
be 3X-MATCHED by the end of the month — but we need to raise the full $150K to
unlock the match!!!



[ [link removed] ]So please chip in anything you can to help unlock the 3X MATCH and
triple your impact in this critical election!



Thanks so much,
—Ben & The People For Team
