Dear Friend,

The Supreme Court has finally ended its spring term, and it was a total
nightmare.

The right-wing majority eviscerated Roe v. Wade, setting off a cascade of
abortion bans across the country. They gave more rights to gun owners than
for our kids to be safe at school. They cut the Environmental Protection
Agency at its knees, curbing its power to limit climate pollution.

The extreme right wing has hijacked the Court. Now the only thing standing
between it and the destruction of even more of our rights is the
Democratic majority in Congress.

There’s no way that Democrats will keep the majority without winning in
Orange County and the Central Valley, among other California districts.
And Courage California is committed to do everything in our power to gain
seats for Democrats this November.

[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in for polling, ads, and voter mobilization in key
California congressional races so that Democrats keep their majority and
stop the unhinged Supreme Court?

This is the most radically conservative Supreme Court we’ve seen in
generations, one wildly out of step with the American people. And little
wonder: three were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote and
confirmed by senators who represent a minority of the population. (1)

The only silver lining is that most Americans and Californians oppose what
the Court has done. With targeted polling, we can channel public opinion
and use it in four key California districts to ensure the Democrats keep
their majority.

That means protecting Democrats like Katie Porter, and unseating
Republicans like David Valadao, whose seat is much more competitive since
redistricting.(2)

Let’s be clear: This will be a huge battle. The punditry class has written
off Democrats in the midterm elections. But we have no choice. The Supreme
Court has shown us that none of our rights are safe, and we need Democrats
to stop it from doing even more damage.

keep their majority and stop the Supreme Court from doing even more
damage. Will you chip in $5?
