I’ll be blunt: We’re up against a lot of problems.

And so many of them are being inflicted on our nation by Washington Republicans:

• Mitch McConnell packed the Supreme Court with right-wing extremists who overturned Roe v. Wade.
• The House GOP is holding our entire economy hostage because they want to slash Social Security and Medicare.
• And congressional Republicans want to slap a nationwide 30 percent sales tax on everything from groceries and gasoline to rent and car payments — all so they can give millionaires and billionaires more handouts.

Yeah, there’s a lot of trouble in our nation. There are threats to our safety, to our economic security, to our health, and to our very democracy. And when there’s this much trouble, we can whimper. We can whine. Or we can fight back. Me? I’m fighting back.

That includes defeating Republicans and electing Democrats up and down the ticket. And our next big test is Tuesday’s monthly grassroots fundraising deadline. Every donation makes a real difference to grow our movement from the ground up.

If it makes sense for you right now, will you pitch in $3 or whatever you can to support our campaign and boost Democrats across the country?

With a strong Democratic majority — a real Democratic majority — in Congress, we can deliver. We can:

• Bypass the Supreme Court and codify Roe v. Wade by passing federal legislation.
• Protect and expand Social Security and Medicare.
• Continue cracking down on wealthy freeloaders and get the rich and powerful to pay their fair share in taxes, so we can fund a future for all of our kids.

We can do this. We can make sure that our country isn’t only working for people at the top, but for everyone. But only if we fight side by side.

Look: I won’t sugarcoat what we’re up against. Our progressive values are under siege from powerful interests. The gun lobby. Anti-abortion rights extremists. Big Pharma. Fossil fuel giants. All using their deep pockets to block progressive change. All hoping that we’ll get so frustrated we just tune out. Yeah, right.

We don’t get what we don’t fight for — and we’re going to keep up the fight. We’re going to elect tough, progressive Democrats across the country. And if we fight together, if we persist together, we will win together.

Please make a donation today if you can to help hit our January fundraising goal — and help keep up the fight.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
