I have two things I need to share with you, friend, but I don't want you to panic. Because as bad as this is going to sound, we have a plan for getting things back on the right track. The first thing is this headline from Mother Jones: "Republicans Are Erasing Decades of Voting Rights Gains Before Our Eyes" The second thing is what A.G. Holder said to CNN's Wolf Blitzer a couple of weeks ago: "This is a very troublesome time. I thought that after the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act... we seem to be on an arc that was moving toward greater inclusion when it came to voting. But I think we have certainly seen that reversed over the course of the last couple of years." Scary stuff, right? But like I said, the NDRC has a plan: ➞ Fight as hard as we can to support getting the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act on President Biden's desk for his signature ➞ Speak out against voter suppression in the states ➞ Continue working on the ground in more than a dozen states to prevent Republicans from gerrymandering, which compounds the harm of voter suppression Will you pitch in to help us execute this plan, friend? Look, I know sometimes things can look bleak. But I promise you that the NDRC will NEVER stop fighting and NEVER stop heeding the words of President Obama, who said that "I believe activism will prevail over cynicism." The thing is, how much we can accomplish depends on how much support we can raise from this community. And that's why I'm asking you to choose to make a donation today.
