Can I count on you... STACEY ABRAMS.

DAVID –

I hope you're ready to make some change in this country, because together, we're in a position to write our nation's next chapter. But we cannot do it without your help.

A better future is not only possible – it's within reach. But Republicans are doing everything in their power to hold us back. They're obstructing the Democratic process so that they can keep pushing Trump's hateful, divisive agenda.

I should know – when I ran for governor of Georgia in 2018, I faced a nearly impossible task: overcoming systemic voter suppression by a Republican Party that silenced too many voices.

That’s why I’m reaching out today: Too much is at stake to sit on the sidelines. In every election up and down the ballot, we can reject the Trump-GOP agenda and flip red states blue, but we cannot do that without the input of dedicated supporters like you. 

Will you take a moment to take our official Democratic Outreach Survey to ensure Democrats can create a winning strategy, flip red states blue and stop the Trump agenda?

The next elections are about us. They’re our chance to fix what is broken – and to finally kick out those who broke it.

But to claim victory on Election Day, we have a lot of work to do. We have to reach out to those who do not believe their voices matter and convince them otherwise. Because here’s the thing: Inaction can be contagious, but so can a passion for change. 

With your help, we will register every last voter, get them to the polls and prove to them that elections have the power to change their lives. But, before we do that, we need your help setting our outreach strategy.

Please DAVID, can I count on you to take a short survey to help Democrats win important elections across the country?

DAVID, we can’t let this fight pass us by – not after we’ve seen what the GOP will do to win. Change starts small, but together, I know we can lead this country toward a brighter future for everyone.

THE MESSAGE WE SENT. JENNIFER WEXTON.

David, the month of August was time for me to reconnect with constituents across VA-10. It was also a month when we were painfully reminded of the gun violence epidemic in our country. And in that month, the demand for change grew louder than it ever has before. I thank you for standing with me as we demanded that Mitch McConnell allow a vote on universal background checks. I am inspired by everyone who signed petitions, attended grassroots rallies, and shared their stories. And I appreciate all your help as I work to support candidates in this year's Virginia Legislative elections who will champion gun safety legislation. We sent a message that our movement is stronger than the big checks that the NRA can write. And we will continue to show just what we can do when people raise their voices together. I thank you for believing in this campaign, and our values. -Jennifer

LABOR DAY. JENNIFER WEXTON.

David, From the 40-hour workweek, to the end of child labor, to safer workplace conditions, we have so much to thank the American labor movement for. Today, on Labor Day, we honor their history -- and we reflect on all that is still left to achieve in the fight for workers' rights. I remain committed to expanding paid family and medical leave. I will not stop fighting to close the gender pay gap. And I am tirelessly working to stop all discrimination in the workplace against the LGBTQ community. The success of our workers means a stronger country for all of us. We must never forget that -- and we must remain vigilant against all efforts to roll back workers' rights. I’m proud to stand with our workers and unions. And while today is a day of rest, tomorrow we continue the fight for workplace rights. Thank you, Jennifer
