John — I won’t sugarcoat it. August has been a slow fundraising month.

I’ll explain in a moment but, first: Can you help us catch up by chipping in before midnight to our crucial End-of-Month goal?

Even with the White House passing a historic reconciliation bill and my uncle’s Palm Beach compound being raided by the FBI — people are paying less attention to the news and giving less money to political candidates.

It’s understandable. Families want to enjoy their last days of summer before the leaves change and kids go back to school.

But here’s the thing: the future of our democracy is at stake in November and we can’t afford an off day here and there. We’ve got to give this midterm election all we’ve got.

Democracy Defense Fund is providing frontline candidates with the resources they need to win. Because of you, our endorsed candidates are polling neck-and-neck with their extremist opponents.

But I need your help maintaining that momentum. Will you chip in $25 (or more) to help us reach our goal and save democracy from a far-right majority?

Thanks team.
