Team, have you seen the latest job numbers?
Our record-breaking economic recovery is in large part due to the American Rescue Plan -- which passed without a single Republican vote in Congress. It’s thanks to your support that Democrats were able to take back Congress, send $1,400 direct payments to the American people, provide funding for a nationwide vaccine distribution program, and more.
Democrats are paving the way for this nation to build back better than ever before. Read on for more updates about the Biden-Harris administration and our party →
“The battle for the soul of America is not over.”
Since the start of last year, 19 states have passed 34 laws that make it harder for folks to vote. Republicans are leading the charge to push anti-voter bills through state legislatures because they know that they cannot win elections on their ideas alone.
The time to act is now. President Biden is calling on Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect our democracy.
President Biden and Vice President Harris spoke directly to the American people from Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday about the urgent need to protect the right to vote. Watch the President’s speech:
COVID-19 testing update
Beginning tomorrow, individuals covered by a health insurance plan who purchase an FDA-authorized, over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic test will be able to have up to eight tests covered by their insurance each month.
The Biden-Harris administration is also purchasing 500 million at-home, rapid tests to distribute for free to people who want them. There will be a website where folks can request these tests for free home delivery.
If you or a loved one is not vaccinated, or needs a booster shot, we’re encouraging everyone to find a free and accessible COVID-19 vaccination site near you:

Join the fight
Did you know that the DNC is on the front lines fighting back against the GOP’s anti-voter campaign? Our party is investing resources nationwide to ensure the right to vote is protected. This means:
-
A nonstop voter protection and education effort: Democrats are helping folks find their polling place, running a national voter protection hotline, and actively monitoring and tracking incidents on the ground.
-
Expanded voter and multi-lingual outreach: The DNC is expanding robust voter education and coordinated events for voters of color across states, including multi-lingual outreach to mobilize growing Spanish-speaking and AAPI populations.
-
Distributed organizing capacity: The DNC mobilized thousands of the national volunteers who took part in the 2020 election to also support the New Jersey and Virginia coordinated campaigns through volunteer recruitment, voter education, and early get out the vote efforts.
That’s why the support of folks like you is so critical. A dollar here, or $25 there, helps fund campaign programs that make a real difference come Election Day -- like running IWillVote.com and hiring on-the-ground organizers in communities all over the country.
Anything you’re able to contribute will help build a party that’s ready to take on the GOP this November and beyond. So please, make a $25 donation to the DNC today.
