John,

I wanted to reach out to you personally on the first day of our February EMILYs List 2023 membership drive.

It's no secret that the 2023-24 cycle will be a tough fight. Protecting our razor-thin majority in the Senate, flipping the House, and keeping anti-choice Republicans out of positions of power — we have our work cut out for us.

As the president of EMILYs List, I've witnessed just how game-changing early investment in campaigns can be. Our success in the 2022 midterms was made possible by the EMILYs List members who pledged their commitment to support the scores of incredible Democratic pro-choice women who defied the odds and beat back the predicted red wave.

We're looking to register 25,000 EMILYs List members for 2023 over the next four days, and I want your name on our roster, John. Donate on the *first day* of our February membership drive to become a part of the team that helps elect Democratic pro-choice women from coast to coast.

As you know, there's truly no "off year" in a political landscape marred by our post-Roe v. Wade reality. While we're just over a month and a half into the new year, our campaigns teams are working hard, hand-selecting our next slate of inspiring pro-choice candidates to defeat Republican extremism at every opportunity.

That's why these membership drives are so critical, John. The earlier we can begin to pool our resources so that we can uplift and support races (happening as soon as this month!), the better chance we have at protecting choice for millions, defending our democracy, and shattering any barriers that stand in our way.

EMILYs List members not only invest in the fight to protect reproductive rights, but they help to elect Democratic pro-choice women to offices where these decisions are made. From city hall to the halls of Congress, EMILYs List is changing the face of politics, and we want you on the team.

So I want to personally invite you to join us by donating on launch day to become a 2023 member and be a part of this groundbreaking, history making pro-choice community:
