📣📣📣 THREAD: Dems are facing strong headwinds in 2022, but DON'T accept defeat as inevitable.
In 2020 we saved democracy. In 2022 we need to do it again. Money isn't everything, but it's still an important tool.
Here's links to multiple fed/state races to support: 1/
1. First, we desperately need to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! It’s a long shot but if the GOP takes control you’ll have racist, anti-science lunatics like MTG, Matt Gaetz & Lauren Boebert in charge.
This page includes races in half the states; donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…
2. This page includes federal House races in the other half of the states; donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…
3. It's vitally important to ADD to our Senate majority! We need a few more Dem Senators willing to reform (or even eliminate) the filibuster to prevent a handful of wayward Dems from continuing to block the Democratic agenda. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/senateb…
4. While control of the federal government is vital, we've also learned how much power individual state executives have when it comes to protecting reproductive rights and so much more. Help make #GovsBlueIn22 by donating to these races today! secure.actblue.com/donate/govblue…
5. Secretary of State has always been an important job, but the GOP's endless attempts to overturn the 2020 election and *especially* their aggressive moves to nullify U.S. democracy NOW add a new urgency to making sure it's #SOSBlueIn22. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/sosblue…
6. Besides helping decide whether democracy is saved, now that the Supreme Court has struck down Roe vs. Wade, state AGs across the country will play a critical role in the fate of women (everyone, really) to control their own bodies. Donate today: secure.actblue.com/donate/agsblue…
7. The GOP has known this for decades, but many Democrats seem to just now realizing how important JUDICIAL races can be. This page will let you donate directly to Dem-endorsed STATE SUPREME COURT candidates: secure.actblue.com/donate/statesu…
8. It's STATE LEGISLATURES which have the most control over the fate of U.S. democracy. We MUST flip control of as many state Senates / Houses as possible!
In MICHIGAN, we have a shot at flipping both!
Help make #MIBlueIn22 by donating today! secure.actblue.com/donate/bluemi2…
9. PENNSYLVANIA is another state where Dems have a chance at flipping control of the state legislature. Again, it won't be easy but if you help out these candidates we have a shot; donate today! #PABlueIn22 secure.actblue.com/donate/pablue22
10. NORTH CAROLINA: Again, the odds may be against us this year but there's still a chance at flipping at least one of the two legislative bodies. Donate today to help make #NCBlueIn22! secure.actblue.com/donate/ncblue22
11. ARIZONA is another state where Dems have a slim chance at flipping control of one of the legislative bodies. I've thrown in a several other great organizations as well, but you can pick & choose which ones to donate to: secure.actblue.com/donate/azblue22
12. NEVADA currently has Democratic majorities in both the state House & Senate, but both are in danger of being lost. Help ensure that we keep #NVBlueIn22 by donating today: secure.actblue.com/donate/nvblue22
13. OHIO has, sadly, turned red in recent years but Dems can still prevent a GOP supermajority and improving downballot turnout can also help flip statewide seats blue, such as @nanwhaley for Governor & @TimRyan for U.S. Senate. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/ohblue22
14. MINNESOTA has a split-control legislature: Republicans control the state Senate while Democrats control the state House. Either one could flip this fall. Donate today to bring BOTH under DFL control: secure.actblue.com/donate/mnblue22
15. Like Ohio, MISSOURI has, sadly, turned red in recent years but Dems can still prevent a GOP supermajority and increasing downballot turnout could also increase statewide turnout & potentially give us a shot at another U.S. Senate seat! Donate today: secure.actblue.com/donate/moblue22
16. Like Nevada, Dems currently hold a trifecta in COLORADO, but the legislature is at risk. Help make sure we keep #COBlueIn22 by donating today: secure.actblue.com/donate/coblue22
17. Again, NEW MEXICO has a Democratic trifecta but we need to make sure it stays that way! Help keep #NMBlueIn22 by donating to these races today: secure.actblue.com/donate/nmblue22
📣 18. JUST ADDED: INDIANA! Like OH & MO, IN is a pretty red state, but flipping some legislative seats blue could at least break the GOP supermajority (& better turnout can also help @RepMrvan retain his seat ing #IN01). Donate today: secure.actblue.com/donate/inblue22
