We are 7M strong, so don’t let the blizzard of news slow you down!
Remember, we are 7M strong. This past June, we were 5 million, and we need to get to at least 12 million to achieve the necessary 3.5%.
It is true that there is a blizzard of bad news …
As the Pentagon accepts a donation of $130 million to pay certain military workers during the shutdown (in exchange for what?) ...
Canadians wise up and take their business elsewhere …
Trump signs the “NSPM-7” a National Security Directive (aka an attempt to designate liberals as terrorists) …
Trump says he wants to authorize covert CIA actions in Venezuela after blowing up supposed narco boats …
The threat against fair voting maps just expanded to NC …
… but DON’T let that stop you from taking action to protect our country.
Because here’s the BIG news:
In 42 state legislative and U.S. congressional races across 18 states in 2025, Democrats have improved their margins by an average of more than 15% over the gap between Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris in the same districts last year, according to data collected by the political website The Downballot. The Democratic nominee has outdistanced Harris in all but six of those contests, including in deeply conservative areas.

In VA, voting has begun and you can track it, race by race, here.
Early voting starts TODAY for New York mayoral and New Jersey gubernatorial races.
Even though it may SEEM like our actions are not making a big difference, they are. We’re getting results, so stay true to the course! You can start with taking the 4 actions below.
Thank you for helping us save our democracy.
