Democracy or autocracy?

The future of this nation is at stake.   John, So much is on the line in November’s elections. One issue at the top of our minds? The future of this democracy. A new analysis by FiveThirtyEight found that more than half of Americans will have an election denier on their ballot this Nov…

Do you agree that climate change is an existential threat?

There is no Planet B.   John — So much is on the line in November’s midterm elections, including our response to the climate crisis. Before midnight: Roy wants to hear DIRECTLY from you: Do you agree that climate change is an existential threat our government must prioritize? YES NO…

President Biden and I agree: Ban assault weapons now.

Add your name to my petition to show your support >>>   John — Weapons of war do not belong on American streets. But for too long, assault weapons have been too accessible and too prevalent. It is time for Congress to prioritize protecting our communities and pass a new assaul…

Thank you.

I hope you have a good Labor Day weekend, John.   Hello, I wanted to take a quick moment to extend my gratitude. Although it came down to the wire, your support over the last few days pushed us over the finish line to reach our August fundraising goal. I am so thankful to know I can al…

Really counting on your help once again.   Hi John, Being North Carolina’s Governor is the honor of my life. It’s a position that gives me the opportunity to do what I’ve always wanted: serve the people of our great state. There are many great days when I get to meet people across our …

Running out of time!

This is a very quick email checking in on our end-of-month fundraising numbers.   John — Our August end-of-month fundraising deadline is 11:59 pm TOMORROW, and our numbers still aren’t adding up. Can we count you in for a donation of $5 to close our $9,075 budget gap? Here’s the deal: …

In a bind.

Just checked the numbers.   Hey John, happy Monday. At the start of a new week, the very first thing I always do is check our fundraising numbers (that’s part of my job, after all). And just a few minutes ago, I noticed that our weekend fundraising wasn’t as strong as I had planned. We…

sorry to email on a Sunday —

but I had to reach out while this was on my mind:   John, I’m sorry to email on a Sunday. But I woke up this morning, read the Sunday paper, finished my Diet Mountain Dew, got ready for church — and now I’m reflecting on how quickly the summer has gone, and how consequential these past…

THIS is how we protect abortion access in NC:

  John, we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Roy Cooper’s veto power is the ONLY thing keeping reproductive health care legal and accessible in our state, and protecting that power has to be our top priority going into November. It’s clear that if GOP legislators gain superma…

102 years.

Today is Women’s Equality Day.   John, One hundred and two years ago today, the 19th Amendment was officially added to the Constitution of the United States. For 144 years before that, our nation — built on a foundation of government by and for the people — denied women the right to vo…

Sydney, Rachel, Mary, and John

It won’t be easy, but I believe we can break the majority.   John, Last week, we saw exactly what kind of legislation Republicans would enact if given the power to override my veto. At the request of GOP legislators, a judge reinstated a cruel law restricting abortion care in North Car…

Three quick things.

We need you to read this.   Three quick things you need to know, John — 1. At the behest of legislative Republicans, a judge just reinstated a law restricting abortion. This is just their first step toward ENDING abortion care in our state. Roy's veto is the ONLY thing stopping the far…

Forwarding Roy’s message!

We want to hear from you.   Hi John! Last week, Roy sent out a survey to ask you to share your priorities with him, and the responses have been overwhelming! More than one thousand of our supporters have already taken Roy’s August survey, and before the month is out, we wanted to give …

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…

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…

Are elected Republicans a danger to our democracy?
