Andrew,
Let's cut to the chase: This month's elections included wins for white supremacy across the country.
For years now, the Democratic party has made Trump the number one target. The priority was to "beat Trump" -- but as we can see, Trump was the
least of our problems.
His presidency along with racist rhetoric has emboldened loud and proud white supremacists everywhere.
It's evident in the wave of white supremacist legislators not only running for office around the country, but also winning. This is not the time to give up or give in, Andrew.
As a matter of fact, it's the opposite. The time is now for us to ramp up our fundraising, do some major planning ahead of the midterm elections, and put our people-power to advance Black political power. The countdown to the midterms has officially begun -- and we've got a BIG fight ahead of us. We cannot let the far-right think they'll continue winning. Will you consider becoming a recurring donor for BLM PAC so we can start planning for the midterms next year? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately, and your recurring gift will set up automatically:
We knew long before Trump that racism is still alive and well in this country. The reality is that it's never gone away. It's only been pushed further into the underbelly of our society.
But here we are in 2021, and we're seeing some of the most racist policies enacted since Jim Crow. All over the country, states are passing voter discrimination bills that directly target Black voters. The only way to combat this is by working together to overcome state-sanctioned discrimination of Black voters and expand our voter outreach in ways like never before.
Really and truly, we've heard enough about Trump. It's time to go after the right-wing extremists he's emboldened to run for office on the local, state, and federal levels. These people have the power to impact the day-to-day lives of Black folk nationwide, and won't stop until they've succeeded.
A year may seem like a long time away, but in reality it's not. We have to start recruiting volunteers, registering voters, and fundraising NOW to build and maintain the power we need to win leading up to the midterm elections. Andrew, moving backwards isn't an option. By becoming a recurring donor, you are helping us to keep white supremacists out of office. So what do you say -- can you please fight white supremacy in politics by becoming a monthly donor now?
Yes! I'd like to become a monthly recurring donor.
No, but I'll make a one-time donation. In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter PAC
