John,
The 2021 November elections proved that
white supremacy doesn't sleep. Far-right extremism swept Virginia and across the country, up and down the ballot.
Here's the thing: America's racism is ruthless. It's stubborn. And unfortunately,
it will be here to stay if we don't give our all to the electoral fight against white supremacy. The worst part? The
entirety of the Republican party is driven by far-right extremism and white supremacy, and we see it more and more in the campaigns they run.
But since our launch, we went all out.
The Georgia Senate runoffs were critical to protecting the fight for Black liberation and Black futures -- and DAMN, we did that!
We raised over $1 million for the Georgia Senate runoffs and we helped Georgia flip blue for the first time in nearly 30 years.
What else did we do?
We increased Black turnout to the polls in 2020 by 50,000 people -- including first-time voters. Plus, we helped oversee a
112% increase in turnout by Black voters over 60 before election day.
White supremacy has tried us many times -- and it'll continue trying us. But we're here to fight back...with your help.
Now is the time to pool our resources. Now is the time to elect leaders up and down the ballot and all across the country who are dedicated to Black liberation and Black futures. Donate now to make sure we're ready for November 2022.

John, the reality is this: This year is going to be
wild. We have to prepare
now.
There are elections in every single state across the country that can and
will decide the future of Black communities everywhere. We've seen what happens when white supremacy gets a win, and if we allow more far-right politicians to advance, then we can kiss advancing legislation for Black futures goodbye.
If we get started now, we'll be ready for these fights. We'll get even more Black people to the polls, we'll elect even more Black leaders, and we'll make sure our voices are heard after centuries of being silenced. Chip in now. And if you're able, take it a step further and become a monthly recurring donor.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter PAC
