John,

On January 6, 2021, the very existence of our democracy was threatened and, for the first time in American history, the peaceful transition of power was interrupted.

The insurrectionists have not been defeated. The attempted coup on that day may have failed but its architects have been emboldened and they are, in fact, planning the next one.

Today, with your help, we’re going to start fighting back. I’m proud to announce the launch of the Democracy Defense Fund — an organization committed to saving our country from the authoritarian traitors who seek to destroy it.

Will you join our pro-democracy movement, John? I’m asking you to become a founding donor by chipping in to help us hit our $100,000 launch goal.

You know my uncle. He started the “Big Lie” and he continues to traffic in the right-wing extremism that puts our country at risk.

We must stop him, his loyal cronies, and those, at all levels of government, who continue to undermine our democracy. That’s why I founded the Democracy Defense Fund — and it’s why I’m asking for your help now.

We need resources to support candidates who are committed to protecting the right to vote and preserving our Constitution. This includes an all-out effort to hold the House and save the Senate, but also support campaigns at the local and state level in order to take back state houses and preserve election integrity.

All of that is necessary in order to defend our democracy, John. And that’s what we’re committed to do here at Democracy Defense Fund.

This will only be possible if we all do our part — starting right now. Will you become a founding donor of Democracy Defense Fund and help us reach our $100,000 launch goal ASAP? Any amount will help.

Thank you,

Dr. Mary L. Trump
Founder & Chair
