This is a longer email, but I hope you’ll read every word until the end.

I want to speak plainly to you about where we are and what’s at stake.

The truth is this: the national Democratic leadership is not in a position to push back effectively against the Trump regime. They aren’t making the case. They aren’t sounding the alarm. They aren’t meeting the authoritarian threat head-on.

That’s why the Save America Movement exists.

We are making the hardest-hitting ads. We are raising the money. We are taking action to oppose Trump and his government. And we are telling the truth about where this ends if we are weak and silent.

I am coming to you today to ask you to support our movement with a gift $5, $10, or higher tonight.

Our Pledge Ad is the best example yet. A fictional but chilling glimpse of a future where a young boy is forced to recite a new Pledge of Allegiance — not to the American flag, but to Donald Trump — is the future that we fear and that we must not allow to come to pass.

When we ran the ad during college and NFL football last weekend, the response was overwhelming. People noticed. People talked. We broke through the noise that Trump creates.

But to take this to the next level, we need to run the Pledge Ad for a national primetime audience. That means a major media buy — the most ambitious we’ve ever attempted. And to make it happen, we must raise $500,000 before the end of the month.

Chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can today to help us fund this national ad buy.

This is why it matters:

• Trump and his allies are escalating their crackdown on free speech. They are silencing critics, threatening opposition groups like ours, and using government power to intimidate.
• Democrats are too timid and too compromised to mount a real counteroffensive.
• The Save America Movement is not waiting for permission. We are building the opposition ourselves. And if we have the money, we will take the truth to millions of Americans in primetime.

We cannot afford to sit back. If we do not fill this void, no one will.

So please, donate $5, $25, or whatever you can right now to help us put the Pledge Ad in front of a national audience.

We’ve already shown what we can do with your support. Now it’s time to go bigger.
