Bold changes

It's an honor to be a part of this community, dedicated to fighting righteous fights side by side.

Thank you, Danielle, for being in this fight by Elizabeth's side. The past few weeks — and years — have been difficult and often enraging. But as Elizabeth always says, we truly make each other stronger. And it's an honor to be a part of this community, dedicated to fighting righteous fights side by side. Together, we're pushing for bold changes — from canceling student debt to eliminating the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court. Reforms like these would make a real difference in people's lives and make more progress possible. To keep up these righteous fights, we need to re-elect Elizabeth, elect more Democrats like her, and continue building a strong grassroots movement fighting for these transformative policies. And to make that happen, we've got to hit all of our grassroots fundraising goals. But we haven't reached May's goal yet, and the end-of-month deadline is just hours away. If you're able to today, please make a donation of $15 or anything you can before midnight to support our re-election campaign and Warren Democrats across the country. If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: DONATE NOW: $15 DONATE NOW: $28 DONATE NOW: $50 DONATE NOW: $100 DONATE NOW: $250 OTHER AMOUNT > Grassroots donors like you power our movement — and every donation fuels our work in this critical midterm year. The 2022 elections are heating up across the country. Elizabeth has endorsed strong progressive candidates in tight races up and down the ballot. By electing more Democrats who share our values and share our sense of urgency, we can make real, systemic changes. We can put power in the hands of the people, not billionaires and giant corporations. But she also knows that no one makes change alone — it takes a grassroots movement, powered by grassroots donors. But first, we've to hit every single grassroots fundraising goal — including our May 2022 goal before tonight. Can you chip in right away?

No matter how you honor Memorial Day, I hope you have a meaningful day.

Growing up with brothers in the military gave Memorial Day a special meaning:

Danielle, My first memory of my oldest brother, Don Reed, is from the morning he left to join the Air Force. He was nineteen; I was three.   The memory is like a five-second home-movie fragment that plays in my head. It's 1953. We've driven to Oklahoma City, where he will report for duty. My mother and I are standing close together on a sidewalk, her full cotton skirt blowing around me. She's crying. He's halfway up some steps when he turns. Squinting in the blisteringly bright Oklahoma sun, he waves and gives us a quick wink. Then the memory is over. Six days a week, my mother rushed to the mailbox to see if there was a letter from Don Reed — or later on, from my brother John or my brother David, after each of them went off to the military. When a letter came from one of the boys, the day was extra-sunny. She would read it and re-read it and call my aunts or my grandmother to read it again over the phone. My brothers all made it home safely, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. Growing up with brothers in the military gave Memorial Day a special meaning: Understanding what others have lost and honoring even more the sacrifice of those who died in service to our country and those who love them. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. In Washington, I'll keep pushing our government to make decisions in the best interest of our service members, their families, and our national security. That includes taking care of our veterans when they come home and saying no to forever wars. No matter how you honor Memorial Day, I hope you have a meaningful day.

What Elizabeth’s been fighting for:

We're facing crisis after crisis right now — and Elizabeth is tackling these tough fights head on.

Danielle, We're facing crisis after crisis right now — and Elizabeth is tackling these tough fights head on. Just in the past month, she's introduced a bill to crack down on corporate price gouging, channeled the outrage of abortion rights supporters to push for codifying Roe, and continued to make the case for other much-needed changes — like abolishing the filibuster, expanding the Supreme Court, and canceling student debt. She's also helped over half a dozen Warren Democrats win their primaries. But she's only able to stay in this fight because of grassroots supporters like you. Danielle, our next fundraising deadline is midnight Tuesday. Can you pitch in $15 or whatever makes sense right now to help hit our monthly goal, re-elect Elizabeth, and support Warren Democrats across the country? If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: DONATE NOW: $15 DONATE NOW: $28 DONATE NOW: $50 DONATE NOW: $100 DONATE NOW: $250 OTHER AMOUNT > Side by side, we can put power in the hands of working people, where it belongs. And we can put every level of government on the side of families. Billionaires, powerful interests, and giant corporations have spent decade after decade rigging the rules in their favor, but Elizabeth has plan after plan to level the playing field. She won't stop fighting to end Washington corruption, rebuild the middle class, and protect our democracy. And she'll keep supporting strong progressive candidates up and down the ballot for 2022. But she also knows that no one makes change alone — it takes a grassroots movement, powered by grassroots donors. If you can, please make a donation today to power this movement and fight by Elizabeth's side. $15 or anything you can contribute would go a long way towards hitting our May fundraising goal by Tuesday's deadline.

Thoughts and prayers are not enough

The news is sickeningly familiar.

Danielle, I'm heartbroken that yet another school has been torn apart by gun violence — this time in Uvalde, Texas. The news is sickeningly familiar. Mass shootings have become all too frequent, including less than two weeks ago in Buffalo, where Black Americans were targeted at a grocery store. And daily gun violence continues to strike people in their homes, on their streets, and at their playgrounds. I'm going to keep doing everything I can to tackle this crisis head on — because thoughts and prayers are not enough. The American people have been screaming out for action. But Washington hasn't stepped up. That is a clear sign of a broken political system. I'd like to take a moment to talk about a few areas where I'll keep pushing to fix the system and make gun reform possible. Ending the filibuster: I was first sworn into the Senate right after 20 first-graders and six educators were massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Democrats and even some Republicans came together to support expanding background checks. But I watched the bill fail, even though it got a majority — 54 votes — because of the filibuster. Since 2020, the House has passed common-sense gun safety reforms. President Biden is ready to sign them into law. But the Senate filibuster rule gives Mitch McConnell's GOP minority and the NRA veto power over the will of the American people. That cannot stand. Expanding the Supreme Court: In the next month or so, the Supreme Court is set to rule on whether to bar states and cities from regulating guns on our streets. And Republicans have packed the Court with a 6-3 supermajority to engineer radical outcomes on issue after issue, from abortion rights to gun safety. To rebalance this institution and ensure that lawmakers can protect their people with basic gun reform, we must add at least four more seats to the Supreme Court. The Constitution gives Congress the clear authority to change the size of the Court, and it's already been done seven times before. Supporting gun safety candidates across the country: Look, I get it — we need action now. We can't wait until November, and I won't stop calling for the urgent steps we must take. Voting is not the only answer. But it is a fact that gun violence prevention is on the ballot every single election year, up and down the ticket. I'll keep working to elect candidates who will do what must be done, from state and local officials who will pass stronger safety measures to U.S. senators who will eliminate the filibuster. I've already endorsed dozens of Warren Democrats up and down the ballot for 2022, and I won't stop fighting by their side. There's more we can do — including getting big money out of politics and rooting corruption out of Washington so we can break the NRA's stranglehold over Congress. I'll do everything I can to make it possible for the American people to be heard on this powerfully important issue. Enough is enough is enough. We have got to be able to protect our children and keep our families safe.

Some of what we’ve accomplished so far, and what’s to come

Elizabeth has been endorsing champions for working people up and down the ballot. And this grassroots team has helped power them to victory — from city council and mayor's races to big primary wins for key 2022 congressional elections.

Danielle, Thank you for being a grassroots donor and fighting to elect progressive Democrats across the country in 2020. Here's a quick update on what Elizabeth's been up to since then on the campaign trail: Elizabeth has been endorsing champions for working people up and down the ballot. And this grassroots team has helped power them to victory — from city council and mayor's races to big primary wins for key 2022 congressional elections. Side by side, we've helped bold, inspiring leaders like Summer Lee, Michelle Wu, Charles Booker, Andrea Salinas, and Greg Casar win their primaries, even in the face of big money and special interest opposition. That's the power of a grassroots movement. Today, five more Democrats we've endorsed are on primary ballots, including Jessica Cisneros in Texas — who's challenging the last anti-abortion rights Democrat in the U.S. House — and Stacey Abrams in Georgia. Danielle, can you chip in $15 or whatever makes sense right now to grow our grassroots team and elect more Democrats like Elizabeth? If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: DONATE NOW: $15 DONATE NOW: $28 DONATE NOW: $50 DONATE NOW: $100 DONATE NOW: $250 OTHER AMOUNT > So much is on the line in this year's midterm elections. If we expand our Democratic majorities in Congress and elect more progressives who are ready to get rid of the filibuster, we can finally overcome Mitch McConnell's veto power in the Senate. And with the Supreme Court poised to allow states to ban abortions, state and local elections are more critical than ever. Elizabeth is in these fights all the way. She's going to keep endorsing and supporting Democrats who know how to get the job done. But she can't do it alone. Please make a $15 donation if you can today to support Warren Democrats and Elizabeth's re-election campaign.
