John,

I’m not going to sugarcoat it, we will face a tough battle this year to be successful in these midterms and while they may seem far off at the moment, they will determine whether Democrats or racist, insurrectionist Trump Republicans will control the Senate, House, and numerous state legislatures -- and it's not as far away as you think.

That is why we have been building since last year in targeted key states, working intimately in the grassroots and with candidates to set ourselves up to win this November.

It's why we're currently driving volunteer action, training campaign staff, and raising money for progressive candidates.

People believe in our movement, but we can’t slow down, especially in a year where many folks do just that.

Donate right now to fuel the massive effort it's going to take to win back state legislatures, expand upon our slim majorities in the House and Senate, and elect progressives up and down the ballot.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

In the 2020 elections alone, just one group, the Republican-led Congressional Leadership Fund, spent over $135 million to help far-right Republicans come within five seats of winning the House.

That same GOP group has already raised $65 million more to help Republicans take back the House and Senate this November.

And because Republicans control numerous state legislatures already, redistricting and voter suppression tactics alone give them an edge to pick up seats in Florida, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina.

We cannot let that happen.

November may seem far away, but wealthy Republican donors are already activating their enormous war chests. The investments we make in talking to voters today will decide the outcomes of these races, right now -- not later this year.

Make no mistake: races are won and lost in these months. That’s why we’re asking you to become a DFA Defender today. 

Whether you contribute $5, $15, $50, or any amount you can, your donation will fuel and sustain our work electing progressive leaders at all levels and in all 50 states.

Thank you for supporting DFA. Grassroots progressives like you are absolutely critical in making sure we have the resources we need to build winning campaigns across the country.
