John,

At a time when Republicans are actively working against women’s rights and trying to ban abortion nationwide, it’s never been more important to elect strong leaders ready to fight for reproductive freedom.

Even worse: some Democrats are part of the problem. That’s why we’re supporting progressive Democrat Marie Newman against Dan Lipinski just outside of Chicago, Illinois. Lipinski is barely a Democrat. He voted to defund Planned Parenthood and against the Affordable Care Act. He wouldn’t even endorse President Obama’s reelection in 2012.

The problem is the DCCC's decision to blacklist Democratic primary challengers like Marie who bravely run against anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ+ candidates like Lipinski, means it’s all up to progressives like us to put her over the top.

Marie is the kind of progressive fighter we need in Congress and she can win this race.

This election isn’t happening a year from now, it’s right around the corner in the new year. Split $5 or more between Marie’s campaign and DFA now to make sure Marie has the resources she needs to win -- and replace an anti-Democrat Democrat with a powerful progressive woman:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said it best when she endorsed Marie earlier this year.

"Marie Newman is a textbook example of one of the ways that we could be better as a party,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with The New York Times. "The fact that a deep blue seat is advocating for many parts of the Republican agenda is extremely problematic. We're not talking about a swing state that is being forced to take tough votes."

Exactly.

Marie Newman is counting on us to help her win. Thank you for contributing whatever you can today to make it happen.
