Another WIN for voting rights

We fund voter protection

Last year, as part of a ridiculous effort to tighten election laws, Texas Republicans passed a bill requiring people who register to vote using a post office box to provide proof of a home address to ensure that they vote only in eligible elections.

Immediately after it passed, the Texas chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens and Voto Latino sued to overturn it, arguing that it is discriminatory and would create unnecessary barriers to voting.

Their complaint says the bill “targets young and minority voters to silence their voices and ensure that their collective voting strength does not translate to political power or accountability.”

Then last week, a Texas federal judge struck down the law because it is “unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, barring conduct that is squarely protected by the First Amendment.”

We couldn’t be happier to see this news.

We’re seeing restrictive and discriminatory voting laws popping up all over the place. But every time one of these laws gets struck down, it’s a win for democracy.

But we can’t rest. Republicans in states across the country are still working tirelessly to find every possible route for voter suppression. And we’ve got to stay one step ahead of them.

We’ve got a plan to do just that. We’re funding voter protection staff in battleground states – including in Texas! – to help voters overcome barriers to voting.

So right now, help us capitalize on the momentum we have and chip in any amount to Power the Vote. Anything you contribute will go directly toward our extensive voter protection efforts:

We Fund Voter Protection In 2020, we ran the Democratic Party’s Voter Protection Program in Georgia, when the state flipped blue for the first time in nearly 30 years. We pioneered a new model of voter protection, built on sustained investments and long-lasting relationships. Now, we’re building on that success and adapting the Georgia model to fight voter suppression in other states. CHIP IN »

A unified Democratic party

The largest progressive gathering in the country, Netroots Nation is being held in Pittsburgh right now. 

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak at the opening keynote on how Democrats can stand up to the GOP’s Fear-For-Profit and corporate super PACs through solidarity — through this year’s midterms and beyond.

Right now, the Democratic party is fractured. A fact that puts our very Democracy at risk. We must come together to create a party that unapologetically pushes for bold, progressive policy that works for the poor, the working class, for Black and brown communities, to earn the trust of voters.

During my primary election, our team watched as corporate interests and super PACs spent millions of dollars to try and tank our people-led, grassroots campaign.

Some would say that the only way to fight back against these special interests is to take corporate PAC money, but we chose to run a campaign that created a multi-generational, multi-racial movement: building power together, centering the voices and experiences of those most impacted, and refusing to compromise for corporate donors.

And we won.

Our primary win in March is the model to prove progressives can win anywhere without compromising working class values and if Democratic leadership stands up to the influence and control of Republican-aligned corporate PACs.

At the end of the day, our message is a winning one. Because Pittsburgh can show you that our real power is in our collective, our boldness, and our solidarity: they won’t be able to stop us.

Thirteen local officials have just endorsed our movement!

 

Our campaign is growing!

We're proud to share our latest endorsement updates with you. All of these endorsements across our newly redistricted neighborhood clearly shows that our progressive movement is what's best for our community — and the people agree.

Jamaal and our movement has brought together a number of local elected officials, labor unions, and progressive organizations from all over the country who are key actors in our efforts to build up our multi-racial, multi-class democracy.

But before we jump into the most recent endorsement updates, we have to ask you for one favor. Our election is now only FOUR days away, and we need to the support of our full grassroots movement if we want to ensure Jamaal can stay in Congress. Can we count on you to show your support with a rushed donation of $10 or more today?

Here are just the few of the latest:

• MoveOn is a leading progressive action group, formed in 1998. They have mobilized millions of people to push for a progressive and inclusive future. MoveON members believe that Jamaal's ‘get it done' ethos represents the best of what it means to be a New York Congressman.
• The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1500 is the largest grocery union in New York, representing over 20,000 employees in New York state. The UFCW believes that Jamaal has been a fierce advocate for essential workers in Ny-16 and across the state.
• 13 local elected officials from cities and towns all across NY-16 have endorsed Jamaal and our movement for reelection. No one understands the specific needs of their communities better than these local leaders and national organizations. And Jamaal has been proud to partner with many of these elected officials to continue delivering for the people.

This is the kind of leadership we need — not complacent conservatives who would strip away at our progress if it means they can make an extra buck.

Since Jamaal joined the movement for true progressive change, we've seen him follow through on building solutions for key issues like inequality, climate change, health care, and economic justice. We've seen him continue to deliver real, tangible results — securing hundreds of millions of dollars for crucial projects all around NY-16.

NY-16 and communities like it need our progressive voice now more than ever,  and we have four days left to show the true power of our campaign before the polls open. Let's make sure that we can keep fighting for the transformational change and progress we deserve. Please chip in today to help power our movement.

In solidarity,

Bowman for Congress

DeSantis only cares about appealing to his far-right base

 

During the past four years, Gov. Ron DeSantis has shown that he isn’t interested in representing all Floridians — especially the majority who disagree with his extreme policies.

Ron is only interested in appealing to his far-right base.

If you’re as appalled by his self-serving extremism as we are, please pitch in $4 now. We need your support right now to advocate for our shared Florida values.

Ron DeSantis has spent his four years in office providing red meat to his far-right base, including:

• Silencing the LGBTQ+ community with his hateful “Don’t Say Gay” bill
• Attacking private corporations like Disney and organizations like the Special Olympics for opposing his far-right agenda
• Suppressing the vote of communities of color through extreme gerrymandering
• Refusing to investigate Florida-based hate groups involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection
• And now, he’s FIRED the rightfully elected Tampa state attorney for refusing to enforce his ban on abortions — even in cases of rape and incest!

Ron DeSantis will sign any law, issue any executive order, and support any policy if he thinks it’ll appeal to his base. But he won’t lift a finger to help the majority of Floridians who want our rights protected.

Floridians want a unifying vision and common-sense policies — not culture war nonsense.

If you’re with us, please pitch in anything you can now. Together, we can end Governor DeSantis’s divisive policies and restore common sense, opportunity, and decency to our state — for ALL Floridians.

bad news

Things aren't looking good:  Polling shows Herschel Walker 1 POINT AHEAD of Rev. Warnock in Georgia – and experts at FiveThirtyEight confirm that this race could decide Senate control.

DONATE NOW >>

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE: AUGUST 19, 11:59 P.M. | 92% TO GOAL

Our razor-thin Senate majority, our entire Democratic agenda – it will ALL come down to what happens in Georgia. That's why Donald Trump has held massive rallies with Walker, and it's why GOP donors are pouring over $20 MILLION into Walker's campaign to flip this seat red.

Unlike Walker, Rev. Warnock doesn't accept a single cent from corporate PACs – so he's fully depending on grassroots folks like you to help him fight back. But right now, we're falling short of what we need to power our movement and win.

So please, Rev. Warnock is urgently asking: Will you rush a grassroots donation of $5 or more now so we can pull ahead, win in Georgia, and defend the Senate for Democrats?

Tell Rand he can't run away:

 

Rand Paul has said on the record that he doesn't know if he'll debate me. Why is he so scared?

It's pretty obvious: Rand knows the people are tired of his mess. They know that I will expose him onstage for who he really is: a liar and a fraud.

Unlike Rand, I don't back down from a fight, not when our communities are on the line. He wouldn't even take to the stage at Fancy Farm. Let's call it what it is: he's a coward.

It's time the people of Kentucky got some answers from Rand. That's why today, we are officially calling on Rand Paul to publicly debate me.  

Will you sign your name so we can show him he can't ignore our people-powered movement any longer? Join us today and demand that Rand Paul agree to a debate.

Add your name →

A sitting Senator shouldn't be afraid of a fair debate. That's exactly why I'm going to replace him.

In May, you helped us make history when I became the first Black Kentuckian to win the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Since then, Rand has done everything possible to ensure he never has to face me.

Rand can't run away forever. But he's going to do his best to dodge his responsibilities, like he always does. It's our job to hold his feet to the fire. So let's show him exactly what we're capable of.

every signature will make us harder to ignore. Will you add your name and help us force Rand Paul to debate me?

 

We can do this,

Charles
