Hey, friend. It's Yvette Nicole Brown. You might have seen me on TV starring in the sitcoms "Community," "The Mayor" or "Big Shot" – but today, I'm emailing you as a Democratic advocate.

Here's the deal: Val Demings' race in Florida will make or break our Democratic Senate majority.

If this race doesn't go our way, friend, Mitch McConnell will take control of the Senate, and the GOP will have more power to pass every insane, regressive policy – including a national abortion ban, voter suppression laws and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.

Trust me, that nightmare could very well become a reality if we don't step up to protect our democracy now. The GOP is pouring MILLIONS into Florida to crush Val Demings' momentum, so it's going to take the support of every single one of us to help her win:

Please, friend will you join me in supporting Val Demings by donating $5 – or whatever you can spare – before midnight? It's not going to be easy to defeat the GOP and flip Florida blue, but we can do it if we work together.

From speaking out against voter suppression to endorsing candidates I believe in, I'm doing everything in my power to stop incapable men like Marco Rubio from making decisions about my country, my body and our future.

I'm working toward a better America – one where reproductive freedom is the law of the land, where every person has equal access to the ballot and where we can trust our elected officials to protect us from climate change.

We can reach these Democratic goals if we elect changemakers like Val Demings, expand our Democratic Senate majority and pass the rest of President Biden's agenda – but all of that progress hinges on you, friend.

I know I don't want to look back and wish I did more to elect Democrats – and you probably don't either. So I have to ask: Will you PLEASE donate $5 or more right now to help Val Demings defeat Marco Rubio and deliver a Democratic Senate majority?

Thanks for your support,

Yvette Nicole Brown
