Jason, For the second time this year, convicted felon Donald Trump overrode local governance and deployed the National Guard to patrol civilians in the name of preventing crime — this time, in Washington, D.C. Now, he's saying he'll deploy troops in Chicago next. Deploying the National Guard in cities like Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, or Chicago isn't about preventing crime — it's a display of power and a massive waste of taxpayer money and government resources. This takeover of Washington, D.C. is a dangerous overreach aimed at consolidating Trump's power. It's intended to intimidate marginalized communities and Trump's political opponents throughout the District. It's a clear reminder that it matters who we elect. Here at the DNC, we're working every day across the country to elect Democrats who aren't focused on power for power's sake — but who will take action to help people: ✅ By ensuring everyone has access to basic necessities like health care and food; ✅ By working to bring down costs; ✅ And by allowing constituents to practice their First Amendment right to protest. If this fight matters to you, please consider contributing $3 to the DNC today to help organize nationwide and elect Democrats at all levels of government who will fight to protect our rights.

  | Jason, we wanted to make sure you saw the news: Last week in Iowa, Democrat Catelin Drey won her race for state Senate, flipping a seat that Donald Trump won by over 10 percent. In the closing stretch of the campaign, the DNC deployed our distributed organizing team of over 30,000 volunteers to assist with GOTV and help Iowans make a plan to vote. And Jason, that work is only possible because of the support of supporters like you. Supporters like you broke the supermajority in Iowa's state Senate. Supporters like you helped Democrats win or overperform in 39 out of 40 key elections so far in 2025. And now, we're calling on you to make your first gift to continue this momentum of winning and overperforming nationwide. The GOP and Donald Trump are watching Democrats win across the country right now, and it's making them nervous. That's why they're trying to rig electoral maps across the nation in their favor. Democrats across the country are standing united to oppose Donald Trump and kick Republicans out of office.

| Jason, Trump's agenda is historically unpopular, and Democrats have a real chance to take back the Senate — but to do it, we have to win in states like Ohio. And in good news, legendary former Senator Sherrod Brown recently announced that he will enter the race for Ohio's Senate seat. But here's the thing: Republicans are going to spend millions of dollars on this race, so it's absolutely essential that Democrats are ready to organize and fight back — in states like Ohio and beyond. That's why the DNC is investing in every single state party, but it's going to take a massive effort from all of us to win tough races like this one. So we're asking: Can you pitch in $3 now to support Democrats' work to take back Congress?
CONTRIBUTE $3 To win back the Senate, Democrats have to defend Jon Ossoff's seat in Georgia. We have to hold open Democratic seats in states like Michigan, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. We have to flip an open Republican-held seat in North Carolina. And we have to win in states like Maine, Texas, and Ohio. Sherrod Brown jumping into Ohio's race is a HUGE boost, but winning races across the map will require strong statewide organizing programs nationwide. So, Jason, could you pitch in $3 to help Democrats all over the country? Your donation will help us organize everywhere, scale up our voter outreach operations early, and ultimately, take back Congress and check Trump's power:

This movement is not about partisan labels or purity tests. It is about class solidarity. It's about the thousands of you who stand together and say our lives deserve dignity, and our work deserves respect. It will never be just institutions and officials alone that uphold our democracy. It will always be the people — the masses who refuse to comply with authoritarian regimes — who are the last and strongest defense of our country and our freedoms. We are at a crossroads: oligarchy or democracy. But we cannot have both. I've made my choice. We must fight the oligarchy that has created this nightmare. And that is why I have never taken money from lobbyists or corporations. And it's why I never will. But beyond elections, our task is to build community. Block associations, volunteer groups, church organizations, PTA's, activist organizations — because community is the most powerful building block we have to defeat authoritarianism and root out corruption. This is the path to guaranteeing healthcare to every American, to establish a living minimum wage, to take on skyrocketing rents and mortgages, to tackle the climate crisis, and establish a country where the American Dream is actually possible for us. Because we know that a better world is possible. And we are willing to do something about it. Pa'lante, Alexandria  
Democrats are on the side of the worker. | Happy Labor Day, Jason. Today, we reflect on the labor movement's impact on our country, and on the work ahead of us to ensure all workers are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. We know that alone, no one person can take on the ultra-wealthy and the powerful. But by joining together in a union, working people have secured the benefits they deserve: better wages, workplace protections, health care, and even the weekend. Organizing together is more important than ever — especially right now. It's abundantly clear that Donald Trump doesn't care about the kitchen table issues that matter to most Americans. He and his billionaire friends don't care about what it takes for a working family to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads, let alone make a better life for themselves and their loved ones. As the true party of labor and working people, Democrats must stand with unions and up for all working people — in the halls of Congress, in state houses, on the picket lines, and in the streets. With your help, that's exactly what we're doing. We've held over 100 town halls to hold accountable the Republicans who are greenlighting Trump's agenda that hands a giant tax cut to the wealthy while cutting access to health care and food assistance for millions of working people. We're organizing and showing up everywhere — investing in every single Democratic state party — to help elect Democrats at all levels and in all communities who will fight for working families. For working people everywhere, our fight must continue. And with your help, it will. As Trump wages his war on working families, Democrats will fiercely answer the call to the old union song, "Which Side Are You On?" Democrats are on the side of the worker. And we will show Americans every day that workers, in fact, do have more power than any billionaire.
