At the time, the NDRC had recently announced our strategy to combat Republican extremism and protect the future of free and fair elections by investing to elect 14 Democracy Defenders in battleground states across the country. Since then, we’ve expanded our efforts — by a lot. We’re now working to elect more than 400 Democracy Defenders! [But supporting this many candidates is a HUGE undertaking, which means we’ll need a lot of resources to get it done. Election Day is less than three weeks away and we’re looking for 13 grassroots donors from your area to pitch in to help us reach our goal.]( Can we count on you to be one of the 13 supporters, friend?

I won’t mince words, friend: Our democracy is under attack. And its fate will be determined in the 2022 elections. That’s why we’re doing everything we can at the NDRC to help elect pro-democracy candidates up and down the ballot. We recently announced our first wave of Democracy Defenders – candidates running for critical offices who will serve as key firewalls to the anti-democracy agenda being waged by too many in the Republican Party. Now I’m asking for your help to elect these Democracy Defenders and carry out all the pieces of our strategic plan. [Governor: Stacey Adrams (GA), Beto O'Rourke (TX), Josh Shapiro (PA), Steve Sisolak (NV), Nam Whaley (OH), Tony Evers (WI), Gretchen Whitmer (MI), Tim Walz (MN), Laura Kelly (KS), Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM); Secretary of State: Bee Nguyen (GA), Cisco Aguilar (NV), Chelsea Clark (OH); Auditor: Taylor Sappington (OH)]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [Donate $10]( [Donate $20]( [Donate $50]( [Donate $100]( [Donate $150]( [Another amount]( In 2020, people from across the country came together to defeat Donald Trump and put an end to the corruption and authoritarianism that infected that administration. This election year is no less important. In November, there will be Republican candidates on the ballot who perpetuate the Big Lie, who even participated in the January 6 coup attempt, and who view themselves as beholden to the extremes of their party instead of our Constitution and the will of the people. That is what we are up against this fall. And that is why it’s essential that we push with everything we have, and nothing less. The NDRC is all-in; on top of announcing our slate of Democracy Defenders, we’re working in 17 states where key investments can make the difference between fair elections and minority rule, and so much more. But – and I mean this – we can’t do it without your help, friend. Democracy is on the ballot this November. Will you help us fight for it?
