This is so important. The New York Times reports:

"The Democratic primary in North Carolina’s first congressional district had been a low-key affair [until] the Supreme Court’s draft decision that would overturn the constitutional right to an abortion was leaked, thrusting a searing issue to the forefront of the contest. Now, voters will choose sides on Tuesday in a proxy war between Erica Smith, a progressive champion of abortion rights with a wrenching personal story, and Donald Davis, a more conservative state senator...who has a record of votes against abortion rights."

There's more below. But first, you can fuel Erica's final Get Out The Vote push here.

The Times highlighted how the Roe decision impacts more of our endorsed candidates in primaries that are just days away:

"Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas, the only House Democrat to vote against legislation to ensure abortion rights nationwide [is running against] Jessica Cisneros, a progressive candidate" on May 24.

“We need advocates. We need people who are going to work to change hearts and minds,” said Maxwell Alejandro Frost, who, at 25 years old, is battling an established state senator 20 years his senior, Randolph Bracy, for the Orlando House seat that Representative Val Demings is leaving to run for the Senate.

"Summer Lee, a candidate for an open House seat in the Pittsburgh area, pressed the point" in the run-up to her Tuesday primary for Congress.

Also this coming Tuesday, Jamie McLeod-Skinner is running in Oregon against Congressman Kurt Schrader, who opposed everything from abortion rights to Trump's impeachment to President Biden's economic agenda.

Imagine how happy Joe Manchin will be if progressives lose these 5 races. Manchin was the only Democrat to join Senate Republicans in opposing abortion rights this week -- he needs fewer allies in the House, not more.

Please rush a $5 donation to Erica, Jessica, Maxwell, Summer, and Jamie today -- and pass this to others.

The stakes are high. The time to donate is now. Democracy and the future of all the issues we care about is at stake. Thanks for being a bold progressive and staying in the fight.
