Dear Friend,
The GOP plan to take the House and the Senate in November has leaked, and
it’s terrifying.
Republicans intend to install an “army” of poll workers with a direct
phone line to lawyers who are ready to challenge any and all election
results in battleground districts.(1)
This is the outcome of Donald Trump’s Big Lie -- convince conservatives
that election fraud is widespread, and then use that lie to put into
question every election result, everywhere possible.
It has never been more important to elect representatives who are willing
to defend our democracy against this slow-moving coup directly tied to the
January 6 insurrection. Courage California has always produced large,
effective election campaigns, but 2022’s must be bigger than ever.
And here’s the problem: Many people wait until October, when the election
is right around the corner, to donate. But we need to have our funding in
place now to put our campaigns into motion. That’s why it is so critical
that we meet our June fundraising goal -- and if you donate right now,
your gift will be DOUBLED by a generous donor.

Imagine MAGA-minded extremists staking out ballot drop boxes to scare away
voters.(2) Poll “watchers” in heavily BIPOC communities asking to see ID
and challenging votes.(3) Election result deniers spreading disinformation
in long lines at the ballots.(4)
These are the tactics the GOP is already putting into place.
Progressives must fight back. Courage California is already fighting
disinformation with our Courage Score and Courage Voter Guide, letting
people know where their representatives and candidates stand and where the
money behind their campaigns is coming from.
Now we are planning our effort to elect as many progressives as possible.
We are in the midst of polling potential Central Valley and Inland Empire
voters to hone the best messaging for the highest turnout. We are
coordinating with partners for advertisements, text messaging programs,
and more, to make sure that the margin of victory is so high, it can’t be
challenged.
But we can’t do any of it without your support.
[ [link removed] ]Please, will you donate to Courage California and help progressives win
in November? Your donation will be DOUBLED by a generous donor.
Yours in the fight for a more progressive nation,
Irene, along with Amber, Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, LisaMarie,
Mai, Mai, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
