John,
Since Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, Republican legislators across the country have pushed forward new voting restrictions using the false narrative of "election integrity." “The Big Lie” has been used to pass laws that actually limit and threaten our democracy.
In fact, in 2021, 19 states passed 33 voter suppression laws, all aimed at regaining the Republican grip on power at the federal level. Republicans know they can’t win unless they cheat, and they are prepared to do anything to win.
It is clear that they are trying to undo all of the progress we have made in building a more inclusive, representative democracy… and if we don’t fight back they could be successful.
We will push back on voter suppression anywhere and everywhere it is advanced… After all, “Democracy” is in our name.
We will not sit back and wait to get involved… We will continue pushing as hard as we can to make sure that in 2022 Democrats make voting easier and more accessible for everyone.
Please rush a contribution to DFA right now so we can continue to challenge Republicans as they try to undermine the right to vote and roll back all of the progress we have achieved so far.

We have been fighting for years in states like Georgia to enfranchise and engage voters, particularly young, progressive black and brown voters.
Make no mistake though, voter suppression tactics and laws used by Republicans cost us the Governor's election in 2018, and they’re going to do everything they can to keep Stacey and Democrats across the country from winning in 2022.
In response, we’ll do what we have always done. Protect democracy and fight against any and every attempt to silence our voices and stop people from voting.
Democracy for America has been committed to expanding the electorate and protecting the right to vote since our founding 18 years ago. We know that progressive candidates can't win if the system is rigged against them. But, if everyone has a full and fair opportunity to vote, we win.
Please stand with us by becoming a DFA Defender and contributing $22 a month (or whatever amount you can afford) for 2022 so we can continue building the campaigns needed to stop Republicans from taking away our right to vote.
Thank you for everything you’re doing to protect and expand the right to vote.
