now that you’ve seen the headlines...

We are living through a historic moment. Congress, state legislatures, and leaders like Madeleine Dean are on the front lines when it comes to defending both our democracy and our fundamental rights. And just last week, Mad was arrested protesting alongside reproductive rights activists i…

FW: an unjust ruling is no ruling at all

Mad is not just talking the talk – she’s taking action with both activists and community members alike. For these reasons and more, I’m proud to be part of Mad’s team – are you ready to support her, too? Instantly add your name to let Mad know you’re on her side and ready to fight! Add Yo…

an unjust ruling is no ruling at all

I’ll make this quick – we are less than 4 months away from the midterm elections.  This is a time for action. I know that you know we all must do the work in defense of both our democracy and our rights.  That’s why earlier this week I joined with reproductive rights activists and 16 of my…

did you see? Mad was arrested

This says it all… Normally Mad would write to you directly given all that has happened today, but as you can see from the headline, she has only just been released from police custody with 16 other House members. Mad knows the fight for abortion rights is not a moment to sit on the sidel…

worth saving

It’s hard to believe, but we are less than 4 months away from the 2022 midterms. I don’t know about you, but as I’ve heard of the news and revelations from the January 6th hearings, it’s become all the more evident that we can’t cede control of Congress to extremist DC Republicans. Doing …

Did you hear about Mad’s recent bill? Just last month, she introduced the Public and Federally Assisted Fire Safety Act that would officially mandate the installation of smoke alarms in public housing across the country. If you missed our message on this important topic from earlier this w…

keeping families safe

We know that headlines can pass by quickly, so here’s one piece of news you may have missed… Last month, in the wake of a tragic fire that left 12 people dead (including 9 children) in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood, Mad couldn’t sit idly by, and she introduced legislation that coul…

thank you so much

Friend, First — this is not an ask for a contribution… just a thank you. Thank you for helping my team and me close the quarter with strength. Because of your generosity, I am confident our next fundraising report will send a clear message that PA-04 isn’t flipping anytime soon. Still, …

last try

I’m Madeleine Dean – but this week, I’m just plain mad.  I’m mad that this has been such a dark week for women and girls, for equality, for our rights, and for our country. I’m mad that my colleagues across the aisle ignore public opinion – 80% of voters across the U.S. agree that the decis…

my sister the fighter

Hi Friend, If we haven’t already met, my name is Bob Dean – Mad’s chief surrogate and eldest brother. I’ve known my sister since literally day one, and in all that time she’s never been one to shy away from a challenge. She’s ready to face whatever comes her way with determination and sma…

Friend – I’m going to get straight to the point. My fundraising team just told me that we are about $6,500 away from reaching our end-of-quarter goal. Closing this gap will help us submit a strong FEC report and allow us to push back against the lies and attacks from the NRCC. I know we ca…

Friend, I’ll be brief.  My next public, quarterly fundraising deadline ahead of November’s general election is just over 24 hours away. As soon as this report drops, my detractors and my opponent will hope to find weaknesses as they seek to flip both PA-04 and Congress red this fall. Yet g…

deadline ahead

We are only 132 days out from the 2022 midterms, friend – the clock is ticking.  And as you know, the NRCC has added PA-04 and Mad to their target list in hopes of flipping the House red come November. Despite the challenging environment, we must do all that we can to prevent this outcome.…

matter of democracy

Friend, We’re just over 4 months away from the midterm elections, and I know I don’t have to tell you how much is at stake. Just last week, abortion rights were rolled back 50 years – and the other side has signaled that more fundamental rights are on the chopping block. We can’t go any …

BREAKING: SCOTUS overturns Roe

BREAKING: THE SUPREME COURT HAS REVERSED ROE V. WADE. THE HAND-PICKED CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY IS OFFICIALLY STRIPPING AWAY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION AND BODILY AUTONOMY. I’m beyond horrified and I know you are, too. With brazen audacity, this Court feels that women are not entitle…

Hi there – I just wanted to make sure you saw this message from my colleague, Josh Shapiro. Right now, Josh is gearing up for one of the toughest, most high-profile governor's races in the country, taking on a far-right opponent backed by the gun lobby and Donald Trump. With everything on t…

an angry note on gun violence

Dear friend – I’m heartbroken and, more to the point, I’m angry. We’re 146 days into 2022, and so far there have been 212 mass shootings. All loss of life from gun violence is senseless and tragic – and this most recent news out of Uvalde is particularly devastating. They were children. …

RE: Roe v. Wade. this moment is crucial.
