Dear MoveOn member,
Democracy is on the line—and on the ballot—in 2022.
As we continue to fight for voting rights and to protect our elections in
Congress now, we also look ahead to the stakes of the 2022 elections:
Abortion rights, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, consumer rights, and so much
more depend on our ability to elect principled, tenacious Democrats and
hold and expand our majorities in the House and Senate.
That's why I'm joining Senator Elizabeth Warren and our allies at Demand
Justice this coming Tuesday for a live, half-hour discussion: "The Plan to
Protect Our Democracy."

We're seeing the attacks on our democracy from right-wing extremists—from
the violence one year ago at the Capitol and the legislative attacks in
dozens of Republican-controlled states to the ability of the minority
party in Washington to abuse the Jim Crow filibuster to stall any progress
on widely popular and essential bills to the Republican-packed Supreme
Court's willingness to undermine our rights.^1
In Congress and in the states, we'll continue to fight these attacks and,
at the same time, prepare for November 2022, when we can elect candidates
to the House and Senate who are champions of voting rights and protecting
our democracy, and who are willing to abolish the tools that have
entrenched minority rule. One such reform: expanding and rebalancing the
Supreme Court, which has been taken over by Trump appointees and
right-wing power grabs.
If we want to protect and expand abortion rights and voting rights, make
progress on gun violence and climate change, respect our LGBTQ community
members as equals, and preserve laws that protect our workers, we need a
Senate that is ready to legislate boldly, confirm President Biden's
nominees, and rebalance a Supreme Court that has become a partisan vehicle
out of step with the needs and will of the American people.
This is some of what I'll have the chance to discuss this coming Tuesday
as we hear from Elizabeth Warren—who just recently added her voice to the
fight to expand and rebalance the Supreme Court—and Demand Justice, an
organization that's been a leader against right-wing power grabs aimed at
our judicial system.

can take this year, and how you can take part. Click here to RSVP.
Thanks for all you do.
