we're missing [1] response from Venice Democrats this week

the reality we’re facing
Across the country right now, there are incredible Democratic candidates running for office – up and down the entire ballot, in every single state.
They’ve got organizers knocking on doors. Volunteers making calls. These candidates are tirelessly showing up for their communities day after day.
The energy is there. The people are there.
Money is the factor that is too often missing.
Here's the reality we’re facing right now: The Republican Party is propped up by a network of billionaires and special interest groups who can write massive checks without giving it a second thought. Dark money flows freely – funding attack ads, voter suppression efforts, and GOP candidates who answer to their donors instead of the people they were elected to serve.
Democrats are doing things differently. Our power comes from real people like you – grassroots donors who give what they can, when they can, because they believe that our country can do better than it’s doing right now.
And that matters enormously. But it also means we face hard choices.
Right now, we’re working to support Democratic candidates in all 50 states.
We all know there is no shortage of fights worth having – and no shortage of dedicated leaders who are ready to have them. But without adequate resources, we are forced to make impossible decisions about where to invest, which races to prioritize, and which communities we simply cannot reach.
Every state matters. Every election matters. Every constituent matters.
We know what happens when Democrats show up everywhere: We win.
And we know what happens when we give up ground: Republicans entrench themselves for decades, gerrymander maps, restrict voting rights, and make it harder to fight back the next time. We cannot afford to let that happen.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to give – this is it. Your donation today helps us support good candidates running in red and purple states across the country – where the odds are long but the stakes are even higher.
Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can to help us show up everywhere and WIN in 2026?
If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly:
No billionaire is going to fund this fight. It's up to us – all of us – together.
Thank you for being part of this.

Jason, We want to talk about some common myths about the midterms, in case this is what is holding you back from chipping in to help elect Democrats right now. Myth 1: “We won so many races in 2025. Of course we’ll win big in the midterms.” Fact: Our candidates have won or overperformed in 266 out of 297 key elections since 2025. However, we can’t take that momentum for granted. There is a lot of on-the-ground energy behind Democratic candidates, but Republicans have hundreds of millions at their disposal — money they’ll use to attack Democrats running at all levels. Myth 2: “It’s better to wait to donate until more candidates are done with primaries.” Fact: The earlier you donate, the greater impact you will have on November’s elections — full stop. Contributing $7 today will help us ensure any Democratic nominee has the resources they’ll need to reach voters after the primary is over. Myth 3: “My $7 donation won't make a difference.” Fact: More than 90% of the DNC’s funding comes from grassroots supporters just like you, chipping in what they can, when they can, to support causes that matter to them. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.
