John,
The Supreme Court’s relentless attacks on voting rights are already having a tangible impact on our democracy. Their decision in Shelby spurred states with a history of discriminatory voting practices to immediately pass new laws restricting the right to vote. And now they may be coming after another section of the Voting Rights Act:
“Federal judges threw out Alabama’s map in the spring, but it was reinstated for 2022 by the Supreme Court, which ruled 5-4 that it was too close to the election to draw a new map. A federal judge in Georgia wrote in another case that the state’s map may violate the Voting Rights Act while letting it stand for 2022...”

And John, this is only the beginning. If we don’t dig in our heels and fight with everything we’ve got to defend the right to vote and end GOP gerrymandering, our democracy is in serious trouble.
That’s why we’ve been working furiously to support Democrats running for office in districts and states on our list of Democracy Targets. So far, we’re targeting races in 17 states across the country, including state House seats, governor’s seats, secretary of state seats, and more. And that’s just one part of our plan!
We’ve been doing this work for years, and we’ve got a winning strategy — but we’re counting on supporters like you to help us keep going every step of the way. And with the midterms approaching fast, time is running short!
