 Our political system is being tested right now: We cannot afford to take this moment for granted. With Donald Trump at the helm, Republicans and their conservative majority on the Supreme Court have torn at the fabric of our democracy and put the interests of politicians ahead of the voices of everyday people. Electing Democrats who will fiercely defend our democracy -- from the state house to the White House -- is the best way we can take our power back before the redistricting process in 2021. Your voice in our democracy is at stake. If Republicans keep their stranglehold on state legislatures, they will have free rein to continue manipulating districts however they want with a green light from the Supreme Court. President Obama recently called on you to support the Democratic Unity Fund -- a fund dedicated to supporting our eventual nominee for president and Democrats up and down the ticket. Today I am following up on that request and asking you to make your first donation to the fund before Wednesday's critical deadline. Make a $3 contribution to the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund before Wednesday's deadline to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot and in every corner of our country. The way I see it, our party only has one way forward: Democrats must invest in, fight for, and win everywhere. At every level, in every district, and in every ZIP code. I have seen what the Democratic Party can accomplish when we work together. Last cycle, we flipped seven governors' mansions and hundreds of seats in state legislatures together -- but we still have a long way to go. We have to keep investing in and winning state and local elections to make sure Republicans can't manipulate the maps to lock in their political power again during 2021 redistricting. What's at stake right now is more than just the presidency -- the balance of representational power in this country for the next 10 years is at stake. Now, more than ever, we have to roll up our sleeves and defend the very foundation of our democracy. The voices of millions of Americans depend on it. Thank you for standing up for the power of our vote. I am grateful to be in this fight with you. Eric Eric H. Holder, Jr. P.S. Racial and partisan gerrymandering are fundamental, structural barriers preventing progress in our democracy. The best way we can prevent Republicans from wreaking havoc on our political map for the next decade is to elect Democrats up and down the ticket in all 50 states. If you agree that people should choose their representatives -- not the other way around -- donate $3 to the Democratic Unity Fund before Wednesday's midnight deadline. |
