We need a functional majority to break this Republican stranglehold

 

The past couple of weeks have highlighted the urgent need for Democrats to win a functional majority in the Senate, abolish the filibuster, and pass laws to protect all humans.

From the racist Buffalo attack to the Senate's inability to address the epidemic of gun violence, as well as the Supreme Court on the verge of overturning Roe and the Senate's failure to protect reproductive rights — we need action.

This November, we must keep control of the House and elect Democrats who are willing to break the Republican stranglehold in the Senate.

Every dollar our campaign raises from emails like this is spent on helping Democrats win up and down the ballot. And so far this election, 9,853 people have chipped in an average of $18.83 to own a piece of this movement.

So, I'm personally asking, will you chip in $5 today — or match our average contribution of $18.83 — to help us reach 10,000 donors by this Friday? »

Remember, every dollar we raise will go towards helping bold, progressive Democrats win up and down the ballot this November.

And with Republicans dismantling voting rights and making it harder for people to cast a ballot, we must invest more resources in voter protection and education programs to make sure that every person who wants to have a say in this election can vote.

Meanwhile, the new technology we used in 2020 helped us win under tough circumstances, and we will continue to use those resources. But we must also make up for lost time and reconnect with voters by safely knocking on doors and holding events in their communities.

That means we must also invest earlier than ever in grassroots organizing and voter turnout efforts, which is why I'm reaching out to activists like you today to ask you to invest in our movement so we can break the Republican stranglehold over our legislative process.

If you can, please match our average online contribution of $18.83 — or chip in any amount you can today — to help us reach 10,000 donors and own a piece of this movement. »

Thank you for standing with me today.

Peace,

Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ)
