I am writing to you today because it appears Trump is prepared to undermine American democracy in order to stay in power. That is why I'm asking Mitch McConnell to form a Senate committee to ensure election security. Please add your name to join me. - Bernie

In this unprecedented moment, we must ask ourselves what we can do in the struggle to preserve American democracy. Friends - This country faces an unprecedented set of crises. We are struggling with a pandemic that has already cost us over 200,000 lives. We have an economy in which we have a gr…

We are writing to ask if you can contribute $10 to Marquita Bradshaw and Paula Jean Swearengin for U.S. Senate. We need more progressives in Congress, and your support will make a big difference for their campaigns.

It has never been more important to elect progressive candidates who will stand with the working class. Friends - If the latest developments with the Supreme Court have shown us anything, it is that Democrats absolutely must regain a majority in the Senate. Bernie is supporting two excellent S…

Justice Ginsburg’s replacement

The right thing to do here is obvious, and that is to wait for whoever wins the presidential election to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice. Friends - First and foremost, the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a tremendous loss for our country. She was an extraordinary champion of equ…

Can you split a $10 contribution between six progressive U.S. House candidates and our campaign today? We must elect a Congress that stands with working people, not the corporate elite.

A threat to everything this country stands for

I think it’s important you take a deep breath and read what Trump said about this election. Dear friends, Donald Trump is a pathological liar. According to documented reports he has told more than 20,000 lies and distortions since he has been president. This is, obviously, deeply disturbing beha…
