Hey folks,

I love being the bearer of good news. On Monday we launched “Crush the
Coup” to support a couple dozen state legislature candidates in six
states. We sent a long email on this a few days ago, and [ [link removed] ]I recorded a
TikTok on it (yes -- I’m new to TikTok but learning!), so I won’t go into
deep detail here. The short version is this: 

 1. The threat: The Supreme Court is considering allowing state
legislatures to ignore voters in 2024. Yes, it’s bonkers, and yes the
threat from this court is real. [ [link removed] ]Check out my [ [link removed] ]TikTok if you want
more info.
 2. The urgency: The state candidates that get elected this year are the
ones who get to choose to certify the election results in 2024. If we
wait to fight back until the Supreme Court has already ruled on this,
we'll be too late.
 3. The plan: We’ve identified the 29 most competitive state legislator
candidates in six key states that are currently under MAGA control.
Get these folks in office, and we stop this coup before it starts --
easy peasy.

Here’s the good news: We launched Crush the Coup just a couple days ago,
and it’s already raised about $50,000. My not-so-secret goal: I want us to
get up to $2,500 per candidate -- and we’re already more than halfway
there. What does $2,500 get? Well, for Indivisible that pays for 6,250
calls to voters, another 20,800 texts, 500 mailers, and 20 clipboards for
door to door canvassing. Now imagine multiplying that times 29 candidates
all across the country! This is real, impactful investment -- and it’s
achievable.

Focus on what you can do. You’re not responsible for saving democracy by
yourself. We’ve had donations from all over the country. This is normal,
grassroots donors tossing in $25, $50, $100 dollars to help out. I tossed
in $50 myself just yesterday. All the donations are split evenly between
the candidates and Indivisible to get out the vote. To make it more
manageable, here’s what I’d suggest: Adopt just one of these states, focus
your attention, effort, and support there. Everybody else will be doing
the same, and together, we’ll get this done.

Pick one:

* [ [link removed] ]Adopt Arizona. MAGAs control the state by just two votes in the
state House and state Senate. We’ve identified the six most
competitive candidates.
* [ [link removed] ]Adopt Georgia. The GOP has gerrymandered the hell out of this
state. Our realistic goal is to weaken MAGA control and prevent 2024
shenanigans like we saw in 2024. We’ve identified the six most
competitive candidates.
* [ [link removed] ]Adopt North Carolina. The state is heavily gerrymandered. We won’t
be able to flip the entire legislature this cycle, but we can break
the MAGA supermajority. We’ve identified the four most competitive
candidates.
* [ [link removed] ]Adopt Pennsylvania. The big opportunity here is to take the state
House. We’ve identified the five most competitive candidates.
* [ [link removed] ]Adopt Wisconsin. Similar to North Carolina -- absurd GOP
gerrymandering means the goal here is to break the MAGA supermajority.
We’ve identified the five most competitive candidates.

Double bang for buck. One extra reason to click on one of those links: In
every single one of these states there is ALSO a competitive U.S. Senate
election. That’s Mike Kelly in Arizona, John Fetterman in Pennsylvania,
Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin, Cheri Beasley in North Carolina, and Raphael
Warnock in Georgia. That means your support is doing double work -- every
voter the state legislature candidates gets out for themselves is ALSO a
vote against the MAGA Senate candidate. So not only will you be helping to
flip a MAGA state legislature, you’ll be helping expand our margins in the
Senate to make McConnell, Sinema, and Manchin politically irrelevant next
year. 

Yes, you can adopt more than one state if you’d like, but please don’t get
overwhelmed. Can’t donate? We still want you in on this. Go to
[ [link removed] ]crushthecoup.org to write letters to the editor or host a phone bank.
We’re all in this together. We’re all shouldering what we can. And
together, I’m gonna say it -- we’re gonna win.

In solidarity,
Ezra
