If we make that mistake in Virginia this November, there will be enormous–and, frankly, nightmarish–consequences. MAGA Republicans are in a position to flip the Senate–they only need two seats–and hold the House, creating a GOP trifecta, or total control of all three branches of state government. {NAME}, this would spell the end of abortion access for women, attacks on the LGBTQ+ community like we’ve seen in Florida, and a return to criminals, terrorists and school shooters buying assault rifles without background checks.

Republicans will jump at the opportunity to impose their extremist agenda on working folks and vulnerable communities across the state. The good news? We can still get them the resources they need to change minds and make our voices heard. Yet, we’re running out of time. It is time for action. [Help us send a clear message that we’re committed to keeping the State Senate blue by splitting a donation between the Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus and Blue Amp Action. These races may come down to just a few seats–every dollar counts.]( [DONATE NOW]( Thanks for being a part of the Blue Amp Action community, and for standing with all of us who value democracy and equal rights.

Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t. When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families. Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
