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.
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.
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.
