The winners of those races will be making crucial decisions about voting rights, judges, and the right to choose. The Democracy Defense Fund is working hard to ensure Democratic gubernatorial candidates have the support they need to win. Now that Election Day is less than 2 months away, we need to kick things into high gear! [Will you contribute $25 (or any amount) TODAY to help us reach our emeregency $20,000 goal and keep fighting to elect pro-democracy governors?]( [Donate Now!]( Across the country, far-right legislatures are drafting bills that will restrict voting rights and criminalize abortion. In many states, these laws are already in effect. Electing governors who will veto and stand against these hostile actors is vital. Every dollar the Democracy Defense Fund raises will go to fighting for pro-democracy candidates in states around the country. If we don’t hit our goal, we’ll be forced to scale back our efforts and let far-right obstructors in key battleground states gain the upper-hand.
