John,
It's obvious that Republicans will do whatever it takes to "win" (cough cough, attempted coup…) But here's the thing, John: Enough is enough. Enough has been enough.
Republicans won't stop at anything when it comes to disenfranchising voters at the local, state, and national levels. Across the country, state legislatures have been enacting laws that make it harder (than it already is) for Black, brown, and lower-income people to vote.
For example, just a few months ago, Georgia lawmakers passed a bill on their final day of session that would give new election policing powers to law enforcement – literally inviting corruption and state-sanctioned violence into what's supposed to be “free and fair” elections.
Nothing will ever make this make sense and it's on us to use our people-power to challenge these white supremacist lawmakers (and win!)
We're gearing up to make history in the upcoming elections, just like we did in 2020. But we can't do it alone, John. Can you please make a donation of $3 or whatever you’re able to help fuel our efforts?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Whether you donate $5 or $50, every donation takes us a long way. Just take a look at our work in the Georgia Senate runoffs – it was critical to protecting the fight for Black liberation and Black futures. And DAMN, we did that! We raised over $1 million for the Georgia Senate runoffs and we helped Georgia flip blue for the first time in nearly 30 years.
What else did we do? We increased Black turnout to the polls in 2020 by 50,000 people - including first-time voters. Plus, we supported a movement that brought a 112% increase in turnout by Black voters over 60 before election day.
White supremacy has tried us many times -- and it'll continue trying us. But we're here to fight back...with your help.
Now is the time to pool our resources. Now is the time to elect leaders up and down the ballot and all across the country that are dedicated to Black liberation and Black futures. Donate now to make sure we’re ready for this November.
In solidarity,
Black Lives Matter PAC
