"Never let anybody tell you that you don't matter. Never let anybody tell you that you don't count."

Jason, one of the last things I got to do with my grandfather was vote alongside him in the 2004 election. After we voted, he and I sat out on our porch. He reminded me South Carolina didn't always consider him a whole man, and that he couldn't always vote like we just had done. Then, he looked at me, grabbed my arm, and said: "Never let anybody tell you that you don't matter. Never let anybody tell you that you don't count." That is why I am so disgusted by what is going on in states like Georgia, Florida, and now Texas. Over 380 anti-voter bills have been introduced in our country this year telling people that they do not matter. And that is a lie. At the DNC, we're doing all we can to fight Republican attacks on our most sacred right to vote. We're operating a 24/7 voter protection hotline, challenging these bogus voter suppression laws, and so much more -- but those efforts need your support right now in order to make them strong enough to meet the moment. Will you make a $7 donation to the DNC today to help fight Republican voter suppression and elect Democrats nationwide? DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount My wife and I named our eldest son after my grandfather. And when I went to cast my ballot for myself running for the U.S. Senate, I took him with me. I think about that every day. What these Republican lawmakers are trying to do is make sure that my son -- and that everyone in future generations -- faces obstacles not dissimilar to the ones that my grandfather experienced. But we can't allow that to happen, Jason. Every drop of blood that flows through my veins and every breath that goes through my lungs will be dedicated to fighting back against Republican attempts to disenfranchise millions of voters across our country. I hope you'll join me. Please, make a $7 donation to the DNC today. Every penny will be put straight to work protecting the right to vote and electing Democrats nationwide. Yours in the fight, Jaime Jaime Harrison Chair Democratic National Committee P.S. The anti-voter laws being passed in states like Georgia, Florida, and nearly in Texas are nothing new, Jason.
