John,

Yesterday was our biggest primary yet of this midterm cycle. It left us with much to take away. We had some huge victories, from witnessing the historic Democratic nominations of Cheri Beasley and Charles Booker to numerous state and local candidates adding to our progressive bench.

We also witnessed one of the defining battles of these midterms: progressives vs. dark money interests. While Summer Lee fought like hell and made history with your help, mobilizing our grassroots coalition, Erica Smith and Nida Allam were not able to overcome this huge hurdle.

The dark money groups like AIPAC and ultra-wealthy billionaires poured over $7.5 million into countless misleading attack ads smearing DFA-endorsed candidates to try and buy elections!

The ability of these groups to anonymously influence our politics with an onslaught of secret money underscores a broken political financing system that massively privileges billionaires, corporate Super PACs, and ultra-wealthy donors over everybody else.

But we know that nothing, not even dark money, is better than our strategy of deep organizing, which helps our candidates lead, fight, and win.

With dark money groups pouring millions of dollars into defeating progressives, our candidates need all of the resources they can get to counter this outside spending and mobilize voters. Please chip in $22 or more now as we continue to GOTV for critical elections next week.

We know that the best way to cut through the noise of tens of millions of dollars being spent on the airwaves is with a strong grassroots organizing program to register new voters and mobilize a broad coalition of voters to the polls.

As Summer Lee’s huge victory showed, progressives win when we work with allies on the ground to mobilize new American majority voters to the polls. Together, we can overcome any multi-million dollar war chest filled with dark money.

With more elections next week, we need you to support our work and keep DFA strong for the many tough fights ahead. Will you chip in $22 or whatever you can afford today?
