John — In a moment, I’m going to ask you to contribute $5 to the Democracy Defense Fund. But first, I want you to know what your $5 is fighting for:

1. Holding the House. We’re supporting Congressional candidates committed to expanding voting rights and targeting Republicans who refused to certify the 2020 election.
    
2. Saving the Senate. We’re fighting to keep a Democratic majority in the Senate, supporting those who are willing to get rid of the filibuster, and approve President Biden’s judges — the last line of defense in protecting our right to vote.
    
3. Taking the fight to the States. We’re investing in flippable down-ballot races that have the potential to impact the electoral certification process.
    
4. Advancing the issues we care about. Whether it’s voting rights, health care, or common-sense gun control — we’re pushing for the policies and reforms that will build a better country.
    
5. Protecting democracy. More than 440 voter suppression bills were introduced across 49 states in 2021. We’re punching back against these autocratic efforts.

In short, your $5 will help save democracy, John. So please, chip in below to fuel our fight, grow our majorities, and defeat extremist Republicans in 2022.

Thank you,

—Mary Trump
