We’re in a summer slump.

Need to turn this around.   Hi John, We have some hard news: We’re in a summer slump. Our fundraising numbers have dropped for the last two months in a row. That’s normal in the summer — and August is an especially slow month for fundraising. Can you help turn the tide? Chip in right n…

BREAKING:

If the GOP wins legislative supermajorities in November, they’ll have the power to push through EXTREME anti-choice legislation that would be incredibly harmful to our state.   John — A judge just ruled that North Carolina must CURTAIL abortion access. We cannot sit by while our rights…

Will you take my survey, John?

Not asking for money.   Hi John, So much has been going on in the news lately, and I know that all of us have a lot on our minds. I just wanted to take a moment to check in and hear about your top priorities as we head into the fall. Can you spare just a few minutes (it shouldn’t take …

I’ll get straight to the point

Your support is invaluable.   I’m reaching out with a quick request, John. I just met with my finance team, and while we’re close to reaching our mid-month fundraising goal of $6,000, we’re not quite there yet. Would you be able to help close this gap before midnight? Here’s a link to m…

Medicaid expansion - yes or no?

Share your thoughts! Take Roy’s one-question poll >>>     FACT CHECK: Passing Medicaid expansion in North Carolina would allow around 600,000 more of our friends, family, and neighbors to access the quality care they need. John: Do you agree with Roy Cooper that we must E…

NC Republicans are SUING to roll back reproductive rights

We can’t sit back and let this happen.   John — in June, the Supreme Court OVERTURNED Roe v. Wade. Roy has blocked Republicans at every turn to defend reproductive rights in our state, so now GOP legislators are desperately trying to get around him. They’re suing to impose extreme rest…

The 57th anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act

Are elected Republicans a danger to our democracy?

Quick one-question poll.   John, It is beyond clear that Donald Trump and his allies did their utmost to steal the presidential election from the voters in 2020. They pressured state election officials at every level. They schemed with radical members of Congress to object to the elect…

One final email

  John, I just got a text from Kate on my finance team informing me that we’re only 112 contributions shy of our massive 2,000-donor goal for the month. That’s huge! I bet we can close that gap with this email alone. Can I count on you? Here’s the link: https://secure.actblue.com/donat…

I am really only asking for $2

It’s not what I normally do.   Hi John, As Roy Cooper’s finance director, I don’t normally ask for just $2 – but that’s exactly what I am doing today. You may be asking will my $2 even make a difference? And the answer is a resounding: YES! Because this team is big – and collectively, …

What we’re facing by 2050:   Flooded cities. Massive storms. Unlivable heatwaves. Droughts that cause crops to fail. If we continue on our present course, this is what we’re heading toward, John — and not in some far-off future. These are events we can expect by 2050, just over a quart…

Pro-Choice Governors need YOU.

re: the GOP’s agenda for NC

Without Roy’s veto power, this is where we’d be:   John — Before we broke the GOP’s legislative supermajorities in 2018, Republicans had a few years of free reign over our state. Since then, Roy has vetoed bills that would restrict the right to abortion access, make it harder to protec…
