John,
We have just 100 days to election day and with a slim majority of just 5
seats in the House and a negligible 50-50 Senate margin, we must elect
progressives across the country while working to overcome millions of
dollars in dark money attacks from establishment groups along the way.
That’s why we're working to elect 26 candidates across 8 states throughout
August, then will continue our work to get progressives into key positions
of power as we march towards November.
It’s been tough fight after tough fight to achieve everything we have at
this point. Most of our wins have been hard-fought, narrow victories. Our
losses have been so close it’s heartbreaking. Amazing, people-powered
candidates taken down by millions of dollars of corporate and special
interests dumping money at the 11th hour, buying seats. We’ve won more
than we’ve lost this year, but the defeats hurt so much because the dark
money has made the difference in every single one of them. Elections have
become auctions, our democracy sold to the highest bidder.
We cannot afford for Republican extremists to gain power and stop any
chance at us continuing to make progress. We’ve come too far. Now more
than ever we must work to Protect the House and Save the Senate.
[ [link removed] ]With our end-of-month deadline at midnight tonight — can you pitch in
$27.82 (our average this month) or more right now to ensure we have the
necessary resources to elect progressive up and down the ballot going into
the midterms?

Over the past seven months, we’ve overcome so much opposition in the face
of all-out attacks from dark money groups, from winning stunning primary
victories for Summer Lee (PA-12) to Greg Casar (TX-35), just to name a
few.
The truth is, when progressives fight everywhere, we win everywhere and
this strategy works because it challenges big money head-on to deliver
powerful victories. Data-driven organizing is the antidote to dark money.
We need more people power to counteract the negative ads funded by special
interests and crypto billionaires.
Throughout 2022, we’ve witnessed how the corporate establishment and
Republican extremists will spend whatever it takes to stop us. That’s why
we’re going to need a lot of grassroots donations before midnight to
continue our fight to defend and expand our majorities.
[ [link removed] ]Please consider contributing $27.82 a month or whatever you can afford
today to help DFA continue our work to Protect the House and Save the
Senate. We need as many contributions as possible before our end-of-month
deadline to prepare for the months ahead.
Thank you for being a part of this fight for progressive change. Together,
we can build expansive campaigns and elect progressives up and down the
ballot across the country this November.
