Wisconsin and Elon Musk, in his own words:

You've helped us reach big goals before; will you contribute to help meet a big goal again?

Diane,

If your inbox looks anything like ours, you're probably getting a lot of emails about the today's FEC fundraising deadline.

And maybe you're wondering why a donation to the NDRC is the best place to make an investment right now. We'll explain why:

As a grassroots organization, donations in response to emails like this are critical to how we fund our work. And right now, we're focused on supporting several key elections this year, including one of the most important battleground races of the year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is TOMORROW.

As we close in on this critical election, we've set an ambitious goal to get 30 new donors from Virginia​​​ before midnight.

Will you make a donation of $30 or more to help power our movement during the final stretch of the crucial Wisconsin Supreme Court race? Your donation will help elect Democracy Defenders nationwide.

 

We're not exaggerating when we say that Wisconsin is one of the most important elections of the year — and you don't have to take it from us.

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is one of the biggest spenders in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race — spending more than $19 million (and counting) in support of the conservative candidate. Here's why, in Musk's own words:

"[This election] will decide how congressional districts are drawn in Wisconsin, which if the other candidate wins, instead of Justice Schimel, then the Democrats will attempt to redraw the districts and cause Wisconsin to lose two Republican seats. In my opinion that's the most important thing, which is a big deal given that the congressional majority is so razor-thin. It could cause the House to switch to Democrat[ic] if that redrawing takes place."

Our read? The reason Musk and Trump's closest allies are all-in on Wisconsin is because they want to stop fair electoral maps and continue the extreme partisan gerrymanders of the past.

President Obama said it best: "Our democracy is stronger today because of the NDRC — but our work together is far from complete, and more important than ever."

With just hours before the FEC deadline, and less than 24 to Election Day, we hope you'll be one of the 30 news donors we need from Virginia.

Please donate $30 or more today and help step up for democracy in Wisconsin and beyond.

Thanks so much,

The NDRC Team

At this critical moment for our country, I’m asking you to join me

Help fight for our democracy and continue to work to build a fairer, more just, and more equal America.

Diane, the work of democracy has always been hard. It's always been contentious. For every two steps forward, it often feels like we take one step back. 

But the long story of America has been defined by a forward motion — a constant widening of our founding creed to embrace all and not just some.

Diane, I know that these days — in times of great challenge and uncertainty — it's easy to get discouraged or feel cynical about what's possible. It takes resolve and dedication to remember who we aspire to be. 

For nearly 250 years, our nation's call to citizenship has given work and purpose to each new generation. It's what led patriots to choose republic over tyranny, pioneers to trek west, enslaved folks to brave that makeshift railroad to freedom. It's what pushed women to fight for the right to vote at the ballot box. It's why GIs gave their lives at Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima — and why men and women from Selma to Stonewall were prepared to give theirs, as well.

Citizenship is calling each of us. It's our turn to rise to the moment, to stay true to our values, and to lock arms with those around us who are also intent on moving this country forward.

I'm proud to support the NDRC to do this hard, but necessary work of advancing our democracy by fighting for fair representation across our country.

As the strategic hub for our work to end gerrymandering, they help make it possible for voters to pick their politicians instead of the other way around — and they count on grassroots support like yours to power this work.

Will you join me in helping the NDRC fight for our democracy and continue the work of building a fairer, more just, and more equal America?

 
 

Let's be clear: The threats to the backbone of our democracy are real — those who want to erase decades of progress and take America backward seem to be growing louder by the day. And while I believe in our ability to out-organize and out-hustle them, I know the work ahead won't be easy. Few things worth fighting for ever are.

When my friend Eric Holder and I started the NDRC, it was to stand up to partisan and racial gerrymandering, and fight for a better, more representative democracy. 

In the eight years since this team got off the ground, I've seen them develop and execute a comprehensive strategy to stop map manipulation. They've helped elect pro-democracy candidates to positions that play crucial roles in the redistricting process, and they've helped ensure some of the fairest electoral maps of our lifetimes. But there's still a long way to go.

I'm asking you to place your trust, alongside mine, in the NDRC and to believe that, together, we can prevail for our democracy. If you can, make a grassroots investment in that future — donate $30 before Monday's quarterly fundraising deadline and let's rise to meet this moment.

Thank you,

Barack Obama

Hope:

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.

DianeA,

Living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won't always win out, but continuing to fight for the change we believe in.

Since the last election, the foundational principles of our democracy have been challenged, and it would be easy to give in to fear and despair.

But the change we seek — the change we need — will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.

The best way to make a difference is to get up and do something. Don't wait for the next election. Go out and make a difference right now.

Because through your action, you will fill others with hope. And you might just fill yourself with hope.

Today, I am asking you to do something that will give Democrats across the country hope that the next election will be different.

I am asking you to contribute $5, $50, or whatever you can afford to the Democratic National Committee today. The amount of the donation isn't as important as the number of people choosing to make a difference.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

In the face of steep odds, it's always been the people who love this country who change it.

Thank you for reading, and for your action today.

Barack Obama
