A Black woman was just sentenced to 6 years in prison for...trying to
register to vote.

Tennessee officials say she was ineligible due to a felony conviction. But
the real issue is voter laws that are over-complicated and discriminatory.

Until we expand our Senate majority by at least 2 seats, we cannot reform
the filibuster and pass national voting rights legislation.

Missouri, and Kentucky -- running against some of the worst Republican
crazies imaginable? Donate here.

In her hearing, Pamela Moses, the woman sentenced, spoke up: "All I did
was try to get my rights to vote back the way the people at the election
commission told me."

Rachel Maddow summarized: The officials "screwed up...her county elections
board never took her off the voter rolls." And the Department of
Corrections and the county elections commission even signed off on her
recent voting application!

The New York Times reports that "voting rights activists say [her] lengthy
sentence underscores racial disparities in the criminal justice system
when it comes to voting fraud cases -- especially since white men who have
been charged in more straightforward instances of voting fraud have
received probation or just days of imprisonment."

state voter suppression laws. Can you donate $4 to these 4 progressives
running for Senate?

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes (WI) - Elizabeth Warren writes, "A new poll showed
my friend Mandela Barnes tied 43-43 with Ron Johnson. We can win this."
She calls this “one of our best chances to expand our Senate majority.”
Mandela attended our PCCC candidate training before winning statewide in
2018, and he’s a longtime progressive movement ally. Last month, Ron
Johnson argued, "Show me somebody in the recent past that has wanted to
vote that couldn't...We've made voting incredibly easy. Nobody's
suppressing the vote."

Lucas Kunce (MO) – HuffPost reported "Marine Veteran Launches Missouri
Senate Bid After Roy Blunt Retirement' and called Lucas Kunce "a crusader
against corporate consolidation." He has led all Democratic and Republican
candidates in fundraising and has become a fixture on MSNBC, using his
veteran cred to point out that Joe Manchin supported trillions in military
build up abroad while obstructing child care, lower-price prescriptions,
and keeping millions of kids out of poverty here at home. We’re helping
this frontrunner flip a Senate seat in a red state!

Morgan Harper (OH) - Her campaign launch got covered everywhere from the
New York Times to Cleveland Plain Dealer. Morgan’s bold platform is
consistent with her record at the CFPB of fighting corporations that
ripped off consumers and her work with Lucas Kunce to fight monopolies.
This is an open seat after a Republican retirement. Morgan is uniquely
able to win the general election in a state that has trended red by
bringing together Black voters, women, young voters, and independents.

Charles Booker (KY) - He nearly defeated the establishment pick for Senate
in 2020 due to tremendous grassroots support. Now, he’s the frontrunner to
face Senator Rand Paul. Elizabeth Warren says, "This is a man who has
lived the struggles other politicians just talk about. He grew up in one
of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky. He experienced the pain of poverty
firsthand, and saw his mom skip meals just so he could have enough. He’s
been homeless, and had to ration his insulin because he couldn’t afford
the medication he needed as a Type 1 diabetic. Now, he’s running to lift
up working families in Kentucky and beyond."

need our help. Thanks for being a bold progressive.
