John, Trump just signed a Presidential Memorandum targeting ActBlue — Democrats’ biggest grassroots fundraising platform, which powers small-dollar donations.
This is awful news, John. And it’s no accident.
Trump has been eyeing Democratic fundraising for months, especially as Americans have shown their resistance to his agenda by pouring support into Democratic candidates and causes.
He knows grassroots power is our greatest strength, so he’s trying to silence us.
This isn’t just an attack on Democrats. It’s an attack on your right to support the candidates and causes you believe in. He wants to make it easier for billionaires like Elon Musk to buy elections — and harder for everyday Americans to have a voice.
Just this year, Musk poured over $20 million into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race — even giving away checks to voters who supported the conservative candidate. It backfired. Democrats turned out in record numbers, and we won.
So now, they’re taking a different route: trying to kill our ability to fundraise entirely.
This is fascism, plain and simple. The president doesn’t get a say in the operations of private companies he doesn’t personally agree with — and I won’t stand for this.
Campaigns like mine are funded almost entirely by small-dollar donations provided by generous donors like you on platforms like ActBlue. In fact, emails like this one are a huge reason I was able to win against my MAGA opponent last year. And this is the move Trump has been waiting to play, to destroy our movement and silence us before we even get a chance to fight back.
But we are not backing down or rolling over to this wannabe fascist.
We’re still fundraising as long as we can, and are aiming to raise a historic amount of money today to prove our grassroots movement cannot be silenced.
Thanks for standing with me in this fight against Trump, against fascism, and for the future of our democracy.
