John,

Have you ever imagined a reality where your voice is drowned out by a system so rigged, so tilted toward money and power, that ordinary Americans no longer have a real chance to be heard?

Have you considered what happens if the unchecked growth of executive power continues? If one branch of government can override the others, ignore the courts, and erode the very balance our Founders built to protect our freedoms?

These aren’t abstract questions anymore. They’re real possibilities. And they’re why we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.

Giving Tuesday was created as a day for people to think beyond themselves — to strengthen the common good. Democracy remains the best tool we have to protect the common good.

That’s why we’re asking you to give to Issue One today.

No matter our politics, every American has a role to play in defending our fundamental rights and ensuring our democracy remains strong, fair, and accountable.

At Issue One, we prove that Americans of every political identity can still work together. We look beyond any single election or policy fight and focus on strengthening the long-term health of our democracy. We aim to be the place where America finds common ground — and where solutions rise above partisanship.

But democracy is not self-sustaining; it needs all of us.

Will you stand with us this Giving Tuesday? Your tax-deductible contribution — in any amount — helps protect the guardrails of our democracy and keeps the voices of the American people at the center of our government.

Can you help? Donate today and get in the game for our democracy.

Thank you,
The Issue One Team
