Some Very Special Guests Want to Meet You!

I wanted to share an update on how the DNC is working with our presidential candidates in brand new, innovative ways as a part of our commitment to running a fair and transparent primary.

In the coming weeks, you’ll start hearing from Democratic presidential candidates directly through emails like this one — but that’s far from all we’re doing to make sure Democrats win in 2020. Read below for more information, and stay tuned.

Onward,

Tom

With a historic number of Democratic presidential candidates competing for the nomination and a deeply troubling Republican presidency threatening our democracy, Democratic unity has never been more important. That’s why we committed to creating a fair, transparent, and even-handed presidential primary process at the DNC early on.

Our large field of candidates is a good thing for our party. They’re talented, they’re diverse, and they present an opportunity to mobilize grassroots voters across the country like never before. And never before has it been so important for the party to support our candidates while we build the infrastructure that our eventual nominee will need to win in 2020.

Thanks to the incredible support of voters, activists, and organizers around the country, this work is well under way at the DNC. No matter who our nominee is, he or she will be in a much stronger position because of it.

I’m disgusted. Republican Governor Brian Kemp has moved from suppressing voters to suppressing women, Michael. Kemp just signed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country into law in Georgia. This is a watershed moment for women’s rights across the country — and we need your help.

In four states, Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi, and now Georgia, Republicans are trying to make it illegal for a woman to get an abortion after as little as six weeks — before many women even know they are pregnant. This law is the latest in a flood of anti-woman bills coming from Republican-controlled legislatures as a part of a scheme to overturn Roe v. Wade — and we must fight back.

Women’s reproductive rights are first and foremost a health care issue. A patient’s health should drive important medical decisions, not a politician’s beliefs — and those decisions should be made among women, their families, and their doctors. A central tenet of our Democratic party is to keep abortion safe and legal in this country.

Demand that a woman’s right to choose continues to be safe, legal, and constitutionally protected nationwide: Add your name today.
