Hi John, my name is Piper Perabo. You might know me from movies
like Coyote Ugly and Black Butterfly, or you might have seen me in the
current hit show Yellowstone in my role as environmental activist Summer
Higgins.

But here’s something you might not know: My character on Yellowstone was
based on my real-life activism, after I had dinner with the show’s creator
and told him how I’d been arrested while protesting Bret Kavanaugh’s
appointment to the Supreme Court.

But my inconveniences that day were nothing compared to the suffering
folks are enduring who have lost the right to make decisions about their
own bodies!

Which leads me to the reason I’m writing to you today: If we want to
save Roe v. Wade or make progress on any of the other issues that matter
to us, we need to elect more Democrats to Congress and that means
organizing in rural America. We need to flip seats in states and districts
where Republicans currently hold power.

And to do that, we need to reach swing voters and even some moderate
Republicans and bring them over to our side.

But how do we do that in a nation as polarized as this one, especially
when right-wing media is so pervasive and demonizing Democrats as radicals
and communists every chance they get?

Well, the first thing we’ve got to do is stop letting them define us!

In a moment, I’m going to show you a new video by No Dem Left
Behind that challenges the false Republican narratives about the so-called
“radical” left. It was written by Billy Ray, who wrote the film adaptation
of The Hunger Games, and I provided the voiceover pro bono because I
believe so strongly in No Dem Left Behind’s work.

No Dem Left Behind is doing the important and tough work of going into
rural and working-class “red” states and districts where Republicans have
been dominating for years and making sure Democratic candidates have the
grassroots support and resources they need to connect with voters who feel
“left behind” by the D.C. political crowd.

They’re working hard to change the conversation in these communities and
reach the voters we need to flip these battleground seats BLUE.

The video I’m about to introduce is part of that effort.

Please take a look, and if you like what you see, I hope you’ll chip in
whatever you can afford to help No Dem Left Behind put this and other
powerful, targeted messaging in front of rural and working-class voters in
battleground states and districts.

Thanks so much for taking the time to hear me out, and for watching the
video. [ [link removed] ]I hope you’ll give my friends at No Dem Left Behind your
support; they deserve it!

Thanks again,
