checking in

  Hello — It’s been one week since Donald Trump’s presidency came to an end. Much has changed over the past few days with President Biden working tirelessly to reverse several of the awful policies of the Trump administration. Yet we have a lot more work to do to undo the damage done …

Mitch McConnell

  Hello — Today, Georgia voters will decide Senate control. Win or lose, we have a difficult task ahead of us as we work to undo the damage Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have done to our country. You see, Republicans have pulled out all the stops to win these two Senate seats becau…

Tomorrow

  I’ll get straight to it: Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock are in the fight of their lives right now. Right-wing megadonors and super PACs with ties to Mitch McConnell are spending big to protect their Republican incumbents in Georgia. But the polls show Democrats can win the runo…

A better future

  I think we can all agree we’re ready to leave 2020 behind us for good. Together, we worked hard to overcome so many challenges — and even though the road ahead is long and hard, I’m ready to get to work with this grassroots team by my side. That’s why I’m reaching out to ask you to …

Donations have slowed

  We’re in a bit of a pickle. Donations have slowed down by about 32% this month and our average contribution has dropped. That means our fundraising has taken a dip and right now, we’re not sure we’ll reach our end-of-year goal. Look, we expected our numbers to tumble once folks logg…

mudslinging

  Hello — At the end of this email, I will ask you to make a contribution to power our fight for progress as we prepare for the new year. But first, I want you to know why this request is so important, and what a difference your donation will make. The truth is, the money we raise won…

A pretty long to-do list

  Hello — In just a few days, we will close the books on our end-of-year fundraising deadline — and although we won our race, defeated Donald Trump, and flipped two Senate seats this year, we still have our work cut out for us in 2021. The damage Donald Trump and his Republican enable…

Thank you

$50,000 raised to help end hunger in our communities

Re: Marijuana legalization

  Hello — Last week, the House took a huge step in ending the failed War on Drugs by passing the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act — a major victory for racial justice. Legalizing marijuana is not just popular, it’s the right thing to do. But our laws have …

This is not complicated

Georgia

  We have proven the pundits wrong and forced the GOP into a runoff election in Georgia on January 5. We've shown the country that a new South is coming — one that is bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking. And we've come one step closer to making history in Georgia. But I'll be honest…

Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight
