📣📣📣 🧵CRUNCH TIME. It'll still be tough, but the tide has started to turn in Dems favor!

In 2020 we saved democracy. In 2022 we need to save it again. Money isn't everything, but it's still an important tool.

Here's ~900 ways to help: AmericaBlueIn22.com

1. We desperately need to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! If the GOP takes control you’ll have racist, anti-science lunatics like MTG, Matt Gaetz & Lauren Boebert in charge. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

This page includes 44 races in half the states; donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…

2. This page includes 40 federal House races in the other half of the states; donate today to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! 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 eliminate) the filibuster to prevent a handful of wayward members from blocking the Democratic agenda. Here's 26 races. #SenateBlueIn22

4. While control of the federal government is vital, we've also learned how much power GOVERNORS have when it comes to protecting reproductive rights and so much more.

Help make 29 #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 attempts to overturn the 2020 election and *especially* their aggressive moves to nullify U.S. democracy add a new urgency to making sure it's #SOSBlueIn22. Here's 18 races to donate to: secure.actblue.com/donate/sosblue…

6. Besides helping save democracy, now that the SCOTUS has struck down Roe vs. Wade, state AGs across the country will play a critical role in the fate of women to control their own bodies.

Donate to up to 16 candidates to make #AGsBlueIn22: secure.actblue.com/donate/agsblue…

7. Republicans have known this for decades, but many Democrats seem to just now realizing how vitally important JUDICIAL races can be.

This page will let you donate directly to up to 8 Dem-endorsed STATE SUPREME COURT candidates: secure.actblue.com/donate/statesu…

OK, that's 181 federal and/or statewide candidates, most of whom are running in swing districts/states, plus @MichiganDems, @DemsOfState, @DemGovs, @DemocraticAGs & @DemocracyDocket.

But what about the STATE LEGISLATURES?

8. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ STATE LEGISLATURES have the most control over the fate of democracy. We MUST flip control of as many chambers as possible!

In MICHIGAN, we can flip BOTH the House & Senate!

Help make #MIBlueIn22 by donating to up to 39 candidates today! secure.actblue.com/donate/bluemi2…

9. ARIZONA is another state where Dems have a chance at flipping control of one or both of the legislative bodies.

Remember, you can pick & choose which of the 15 candidates listed to donate to; help make #AZBlueIn22! secure.actblue.com/donate/azblue22

10. PENNSYLVANIA is another state where Dems have a chance at flipping control of at least one legislative chamber.

Again, it won't be easy but if you help out some or all of the 26 candidates listed we have a shot; donate today to make #PABlueIn22! secure.actblue.com/donate/pablue22

11. 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 to up to 31 candidates to help make #NCBlueIn22! secure.actblue.com/donate/ncblue22

12. NEW HAMPSHIRE: Another state where the GOP holds the majority in both chambers but Dems have a shot at at least one of them.

NH was tough to put together due to their unusual legislative districts, but here's 33 races which should be competitive:
secure.actblue.com/donate/nhbluei…

13. MINNESOTA has a split-control legislature: The GOP controls the state Senate while DFL controls the state House. Either one could flip this fall.

Donate to up to 45 swing district candidates to bring BOTH under DFL control & make it #MNBlueIn22!
secure.actblue.com/donate/mnblue22

OK, that's 189 legislative candidates, nearly all of whom are running in districts rated within 10 pts. That's 370 races total so far.

Next up are states where Democrats *currently* have control of both chambers but one or both are at risk of being lost to Republican control.

14. Dems currently hold a trifecta in COLORADO, but the legislature is potentially at risk. Help make sure we keep #COBlueIn22 by donating to up to 23 swing district candidates today: secure.actblue.com/donate/coblue22

15. The MAINE House & Senate are under Dem control but both majorities are shaky. Thanks to Maine's public campaign finance laws, only 7 swing district candidates require outside funding, but they could use that help to keep #MEBlueIn22: secure.actblue.com/donate/meblue22

16. 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 to these 9 swing district Dems today: secure.actblue.com/donate/nvblue22

20. ALASKA has kind of a unique situation: *On paper*, Democrats need to flip seats to control the state legislature...but they also often form a coalition with a few non-Dems as well. Help them make gains by donating to these 12 races today: #AKBlueIn22 secure.actblue.com/donate/akblue22

OK, we're up to 459 races total (181 federal/statewide + 278 state legislative).

43. WYOMING: Dems have no chance of flipping control, but can at least hold the line for future gains.

There's another ~140 or so swing district legislative candidates running in solid blue states (CA, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, NY, RI & VT).

I may get to them or I may not. If I decide to, they'll be tacked onto the end of this thread.

Stay tuned...
