Winners

John, With only one day to go until our critical end-of-month fundraising deadline, just a couple dollars from supporters right now would make a difference. When other supporters chip in their $4 here and another couple dollars there, it adds up to make a big statement about who w…

4 arguments

Argument #1: Everyone deserves and must have reproductive freedom in order to live full and free lives. Argument #2: Working families shouldn’t have to pay more for basic necessities than the wealthy and big corporations. Lowering costs must be a top priority for Congress. Argumen…

Someone close to you

John, Imagine someone close to you — a sister, cousin, spouse, colleague, or friend — is expecting a baby. As the due date nears, what should be a joyous time turns to fear and concern. The most dangerous and avoidable complications arise — problems that proper care could prevent.…

Don’t underestimate your support

John,  As November 5 approaches, let's remember that every election — big or small — has a huge impact. Local and down-ballot races shape our daily lives just as much as top-ticket elections. State attorneys general, state lawmakers, and governors play critical roles in defending …

The writing is on the wall

John — we will be stressing this nonstop through Election Day: The writing is on the wall, in bold and underlined:  If MAGA Republicans seize control of Congress, they'll push to ban abortion nationwide. GOP lawmakers cheered on the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade…

What just happened

Four years ago, we banded together to reject MAGA extremism, end Trump’s dangerous presidency, and steer our nation toward progress. Our unity made that victory possible. Today, we are still on that path, but MAGA extremism threatens to divert us down a road of division and fear t…

This is bad
