👉 Our most critical fundraising deadline ends tonight at midnight. Can you contribute $100 and have your contribution 3X matched before the deadline expires?

John, "stand back and stand by."

That’s what Donald Trump said, speaking directly to violent white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys, when asked if he would denounce them at the debate.

This wasn’t a denunciation. It wasn’t a condemnation. It was a recognition, and a call for the Proud Boys—and any number of racist man-child vigilante cosplayers just like them—to be at-the-ready.

Let me just tell you who the Proud Boys are and what this means. This is a militant group of white supremacists, and one of the most prominent domestic terrorist threats—and they're now using Donald Trump's words as their slogan.

In a night that Donald Trump also called for his supporters to intimidate voters at the polls, this brief moment of the “debate” was the most alarming and disgraceful.

John, Donald Trump is actively encouraging extremism and violence to fully dismantle our democracy. And we have to fight back.

Tonight at midnight is the most critical fundraising deadline of the election. The resources we assemble right now are going to inform the strength and scope of our reach through Election Day—and this urgency is why, until we hit the deadline, Lincoln Project benefactors are 3X-matching every grassroots contribution.

The Lincoln Project is the only movement that can effectively and successfully reach and persuade the voters that will solidify a victory for Biden.

Real Americans know that Donald Trump is the most un-American president we’ve ever had, and he must be defeated for our Republic to survive.

Together, we will do just that.

I cannot thank you enough for standing with us in this fight. History will remember the millions of patriots who stood up and fought back during this time of great national tragedy and tyranny.
