A note from the NDRC team...
We want to acknowledge that the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is hitting many people hard. This decision will cause tremendous harm. The NDRC is committed to working for a future in which all human rights are protected.
If you would like to support abortion access directly, you can make a donation to more than 80 abortion funds here. | Diane – here's my pitch for why you should donate to the NDRC before the end-of-quarter deadline on Thursday: The 2022 elections could be one of our last chances to protect democracy.
We're planning to support pro-democracy candidates in 17 states, but time is quickly running out. | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Diane, I hope you'll answer President Obama's call and pitch in to the fight for fair maps.
Thanks,

Over the past few years, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee and its affiliates have made remarkable progress toward fairer redistricting. As we head into the midterm elections this fall, I'm proud to say that the majority of Americans now have either a neutral or net improvement on the fairness of their congressional map.
That doesn't mean our work is finished. In fact, the upcoming midterm elections present a unique opportunity to build on the progress we've made at both the state legislative and congressional level, prevent backtracking, and hold the politicians who continue to gerrymander and undermine our democracy accountable.
And so, the NDRC has announced its initial 2022 electoral targets — races that will impact the future of fair redistricting and democracy. I'm asking you to make a donation to help the NDRC invest in supporting those critical races and continue our fight for fair maps. | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | I know this has been a long journey. The fact is, the fight for fair maps is part of the fight to protect our democracy — and neither will be solved in just one redistricting cycle. Our opposition is counting on the NDRC to lose the energy and drive that our movement has sustained so far. We simply cannot afford to do that.
Instead, I'm urging you to continue helping the NDRC deploy its proven strategy to ensure that voters decide our elections — not politicians. The best way to do that is to make a donation of $10 or more today.
Can I count on you, Diane?
Thank you,
Barack Obama

but here's why we're not panicking | | | Diane – did you see Politico's report that "GOP operatives [are] assembling a disturbing multipronged network of party loyalists that could cause chaos on Election Day?"
We did – and we're alarmed. According to leaked tapes, the Trump-and Bannon-endorsed strategy includes training GOP poll workers to contest votes in Democratic areas, supporting MAGA-friendly district attorneys in blocking certain vote counts, and installing partisan election officials who can refuse to certify elections. It's the Big Lie on steroids!
But we're not panicking. Instead, we're doubling down on our fight for fair, clean elections, including by investing in supporting candidates who will UPHOLD democracy. Can you help with a donation? | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Look, Diane, we're not going to minimize the severity of this threat. According to one election watchdog, "This is completely unprecedented in the history of American elections… It looks like now the Trump forces are going directly after the legal system itself, and that should concern everyone."
But we're taking inspiration from the recent words of Michelle Obama: "I want to implore every American who cares about our democracy not to just get angry or dejected. I want you to get active." We're getting active! We're working hard to support Democratic candidates in 17 key states who can protect the sanctity of our elections – no matter what the GOP tries. And that's just one part of our strategy to help save democracy!
Your support will determine the success or failure of our effort, Diane. Will you chip in NOW? | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | – Team NDRC
