Your donation 3X-MATCHED to win Battleground Virginia!

People For Supporter – I’ll get right to it:

We have ONE WEEK to turn out every last progressive vote in Virginia.
We’re on the air – advertising on TV, radio, and online – and on the
ground.

We NEED to keep this critical battleground state blue. That means winning
the governor’s race at the top of the ballot and keeping a Democratic
majority in the state House – the stakes not only for Virginians but for
the whole country are off the charts.

But with the increasing urgency and closeness of the governor’s race, as
well as key down-ballot races, we now need to raise at least another $63K
in 3X-MATCHED donations this week, and the more we raise on top of that,
the more we can do!

Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin is a far-right
extremist who’s positioned himself as a ‘moderate’ -- we still have time
to expose his extremism to make headway with independents and close what
some are saying is an enthusiasm gap among progressive voters. (Remember,
in last month’s recall election in California, we closed a similar
enthusiasm gap by exposing the extremism of the leading Republican in that
governor’s race, Larry Elder.)

Here are just some of Youngkin’s positions:

* He’s for BANNING BOOKS and suppressing the voices and perspectives of
Black authors

* He supports abortion bans

* He’s kowtowed to insurrectionists and showed reluctance to admit that
Trump lost the 2020 election

* He’s against marriage equality

* He’s taken a hardline, anti-science stance against recommended vaccine
and mask policies to combat COVID-19

* He enthusiastically touts endorsements of right-wing hate groups like
the Family Research Council

In contrast, in his first term as governor, Democratic candidate Terry
McAuliffe expanded health care and ended the racist, Jim Crow-era policy
of permanently disenfranchising people with felony convictions. And he’ll
stand up for fundamental rights like the right to choose and LGBTQ+
equality.

We spent the past decade fighting to turn this bellwether state, once the
seat of the Confederacy, blue. And so much progress has been made as a
result. Now all that progress is under threat of being flushed away!

support will be TRIPLED>>



Look, you know what a far-right governor – and possible far-right state
House majority – would mean for the rights of Virginians. Virginia could
be the next state to pursue aggressive voter suppression measures … and
the right to choose, workers’ rights, protections for LGBTQ+ people,
health care, public education and more could all come under attack.

On the national front, however, with the midterms coming up next year, the
stakes are also incredibly high.

Who controls redistricting is on the ballot…

This election will determine the national narrative and who has the
momentum heading into the 2022 midterms…

Even our fight against the Electoral College is on the ballot because,
with progressives and Democrats in control, we have the chance to make
Virginia the next state to adopt the National Popular Vote interstate
compact, which would allow our presidential elections to be decided just
like every other democratically elected office in our country: by whoever
gets the most votes.

This is our fight – all of us. Whether you live in Virginia, California,
New York, Texas, or Wisconsin – the entire country has skin in the game.
And we’re in the home stretch.

– Ben Jealous, President

P.S. Time is running out. Early voting ends Saturday. And Get Out The Vote
Weekend is coming up. So while those of us with kids will be out trick or
treating at night, volunteers will also be out knocking on doors this week
to get progressive voters to the polls.



It’s crunch time. And all of our work needs your support. [ [link removed] ]Please give
