Jack, our Democratic victories in 2020 were short-lived in the Senate when it became clear that Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin were working for corporate interests, not the constituents who elected them.
For nearly two years, our efforts to pass truly progressive legislation, including paid family leave, a comprehensive voting rights package, and enshrining abortion into federal law have been stymied—all because of the filibuster and the two corporate Democrats standing in the way of abolishing it.
This year, however, we have a real chance to expand our Senate majority, get rid of the filibuster once and for all, and get to work improving the lives of everyday, working people in this country. And it all starts with electing Democrats to the Senate in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
With less than 36 days until Election Day, the finish line is starting to come into view. We can’t slow down now—we have to leave it all out on the field, and that means ensuring these three campaigns have the funding they need to win. Please donate $5 to give Democrats a REAL majority in the Senate.

Cheri Beasley in North Carolina, John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, and Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin are the candidates we need to make change in the Senate. We need to hold on to our current slim majority and pick up two more seats to render Manchin and Sinema irrelevant—but of course we’re going for the gold to win all three.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found yourself deeply frustrated during this term of Congress, seeing progressive legislation pass in the House only to be blocked in the Senate. Some of that is thanks to Republican obstruction, but some of it is due to easily corrupted “Democrats” looking to line their pockets with cash from the highest unethical bidder, even if it comes at the cost of human rights.
It’s time for this absurdity to end. Democrats should not be blocking legislation that will improve lives in their home states and across the country. As we look toward the final month of these Senate campaigns, let’s make sure these rockstar candidates have what they need to cross the finish line in first place.
Donate $5 to help elect Cheri Beasley, John Fetterman, and Mandela Barnes to the Senate.
