Dear John,

Yesterday, Donald Trump ranted for over an hour in front of world leaders about stealing Greenland (which he repeatedly mixed up with “Iceland”), insulted our allies, and lied so many times that it was nearly impossible to keep track.

I truly can’t remember a time when I’ve been so embarrassed for my country.

Meanwhile, Trump’s masked army of ICE thugs are escalating their attacks, he’s threatening to “cancel” the midterm elections and invoke the Insurrection Act, and his family has raked in nearly $2 billion from shady business deals that scream corruption.

America is no longer teetering on the brink of authoritarianism. This IS authoritarianism.

To turn the tide, it is absolutely critical that we take back control of Congress in this fall’s midterm elections — and Inequality Media Civic Action is preparing to run our biggest midterm election campaign ever, with proven-effective voter persuasion videos aimed at the most important voter blocs that will decide the outcome in key states and districts.

But to greenlight the most ambitious version of our plans, we need to meet high monthly fundraising goals starting now. So please, if you’re able, make a monthly donation to help us educate the public, win back control of Congress, and stop Trump’s authoritarian takeover.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Friends, this is a national emergency. Trump is off the rails. His ICE and Border Patrol goons are loose in America. The havoc in Minneapolis will worsen and occur elsewhere.

In addition, the military is loose on the world. First, he kidnapped the leader of Venezuela, and at any moment he could attack Iran, Cuba, or Greenland. In fact, European nations are sending troops to Greenland, presumably to defend it from Trump’s America.

You may feel helpless, a powerless observer of this hurricane of violence and stupidity. You may be experiencing the kind of despair that immobilizes the brain and numbs the senses. You may want to scream but can’t find your voice because you’re so shocked and frightened.

Please do not succumb to helplessness, despair, or fear. You are needed. Desperately.

In the weeks and months ahead, Inequality Media Civic Action will be rolling out our biggest midterm election campaign ever. In fact, we’ve already begun, with a series of viral videos and posts educating the public on how Trump is enriching himself and his Mar-a-Lago friends while shafting everyday working families.

But I’ll be honest. If Republicans win in 2026, I’m afraid that we may never see another truly free and fair election in America again, at least in my lifetime.

Those are the stakes. So please chip in monthly whatever you can to Inequality Media Civic Action and help us continue to educate the public, win back control of Congress, and stop Trump’s authoritarian takeover.
