I just reintroduced the Environmental Justice Act

  Friend, In Uniontown, Alabama, a landfill was licensed to take garbage from more than half of the country — despite the overwhelmingly Black local community’s opposition. In Lowndes County, just an hour’s drive east, the sewage system is virtually nonexistent and raw sewage collects…

Honor today’s anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by adding your name to demand passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act

Democratic legislators across the country are sounding the alarm.   Friend, 56 years ago today, the 1965 Voting Rights Act went into effect. By finally enforcing the voting rights guaranteed by the 14th and 15th Amendments, this bill’s passage was the culmination of a democratic strugg…

August survey

  Friend, The Senate is tackling some urgent priorities this month. I want to know which issues are top of mind for you right now, which is why I’m asking you directly — will you please complete my August priorities survey? It will just take a minute (or two, tops!): TAKE THE SURVE…

A short note

  Friend, I hate to bother you on the weekend, so I’ll keep this short — Our end of month deadline is at midnight. Can you chip in right now to help us reach our goal? Any amount you can give makes a big difference. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your d…

We’re making progress

  Friend, The GOP is passing voter suppression laws that directly target communities of color. The courts are stacked with Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked judges. And most insidiously, a shocking amount of Republican lawmakers still stand by Trump and his Big Lie that t…

A record-breaking summer

  Friend, I hope you’re staying safe and cool in this summer heat wave. The direct effects of the climate crisis are taking their toll this week with blistering heat waves sweeping across the lower 48 states. From the Southeast to the Pacific Northwest, rising temperatures coupled wit…

It’s time to deliver

  Friend, Americans around the country are hurting. Our infrastructure is collapsing. And our climate crisis is worsening. At this moment, we need action. We need leadership. And we need vision. That’s why the American people turned out in record numbers last November. Unfortunately, …

Cory’s fight for progress

  Friend, Despite Mitch McConnell’s unwavering obstructionism, Cory and his Democratic colleagues are on the verge of passing the next phase of the most transformative economic policy to come out of Washington in decades. Earlier this month, the American Rescue Plan’s dramatically exp…

Can I explain?

  Friend, In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to help protect our Senate majority. But first, I hope you’ll give me a chance to explain why today’s request is so important, and what could happen to our majority if we fall short of our goal. We just learned fr…

A request

  Friend, In 2020, supporters like you re-elected my colleague Cory Booker and helped us take control of the Senate. Now, I’m facing re-election as Mitch McConnell is hard-set on wiping out our slim majority, so I’m counting on your help. My fellow Democrats and I passed the American …

The American people want federal marijuana legalization - now

  Friend, The federal prohibition of marijuana is archaic, cruel, and hypocritical to its core. 18 states have legalized adult-use marijuana, and 37 have legalized medical marijuana. It’s time that we finally end prohibition and focus on restorative justice for communities that have b…

$28 million?!

  Friend, This CNN headline is bad news for 2022: “Senate Republican campaign arm raises $28 million in second quarter” In June 2019, the GOP raised a record $5.7 million with Donald Trump in the White House and a presidential election on the horizon. Fast forward two years — Republic…

Humbly asking

  Friend, We’re short on time before midnight — our first mid-month deadline of the new fundraising quarter. But before I ask for your donation, I wanted to share with you a bit of good news. Today, the American Rescue Plan’s expanded Child Tax Credit program kicked in. Over 90 percen…

Environmental racism has decimated our communities

  Friend, In our nation, the biggest determining factor of whether you live near toxic pollution, whether you drink contaminated water, or whether you breathe dirty air is the color of your skin and your economic status. That’s wrong, and it’s time to make it right. Earlier this year,…

Mitch McConnell tells the truth

  Friend, First, Mitch McConnell said that “100 percent of our focus is on stopping this new administration.” Then, a Republican Representative was filmed bragging that the GOP’s strategy was “18 more months of chaos and the inability to get stuff done.” Now, McConnell wants you to kn…

Take our July survey

What true patriotism means to me

Hey

Trump’s attack won’t be his last

  Friend, Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail, and he’s vowing to take back the House, Senate, and White House in 2022 and 2024. We have to take this threat seriously. Because as Trump personally campaigns to purge the GOP of every Republican member of Congress who voted for hi…

Senate control could come down to New Hampshire

  Hello, Maggie Hassan here, representing New Hampshire in the Senate. We’re in a bit of a tough spot with the FEC fundraising deadline just 2 days away, so my good friend Cory Booker suggested I reach out to you as one of his top supporters. In 2016, I won my Senate seat by only 1,0…

This is ambitious

halfway

  Friend, My good friend Cory Booker suggested I reach out to you, but frankly, this isn’t the news I was hoping to share. There are just 12 days to go until our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline and we are only halfway to our goal of 50,000 grassroots contributions. Now, usually I…

McConnell: “the single most consequential thing I’ve done”

The Paycheck Fairness Act

The moral arc
