NOT LETTING UP. ALEXANDRA OCASIO-CORTEZ.

David, we’re not letting up.
In just a few days since ProPublica released their exposé on Senators Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler’s alleged insider trading, our movement has gathered nearly 75,000 signatures to demand their resignations.
We’re not going to let them get away with it. That’s why we’re doubling down and pushing for a goal of 100,000 signatures by 11:59 PM TONIGHT.
Imagine this: Richard Burr in a room of wealthy donors, just days after receiving non-public information about COVID-19, warning them about how bad this crisis was going to get.
Just think about what working families could’ve done with that information. Think about how blindsided you were with how quickly our lives changed, and now know that a group of people who paid $10,000 each to attend a lunch got advance notice from a sitting Senator — someone who’s supposed to be a public servant.
Those were their priorities: Selling stock to benefit themselves, and then making sure their wealthy donors got out okay. Not us. Not the people.
It’s time to send a clear message: Just because you’re rich and powerful doesn’t mean you can sell out the working people of this nation and get away with it.
Pa’lante,
Team AOC

URGENT: Take Action RIGHT NOW (Yes, Sunday)! PETA.

Dear David,

At this very moment, Congress is finalizing plans to help those hurt financially by the growing COVID-19 crisis, including nonprofits like PETA. We—and every other animal protection group you may support—need you to voice your support for these plans RIGHT NOW!

The impact of the pandemic is already being felt across PETA, making our vital advocacy and campaign work more challenging than ever. We're doing all that we can to help as many animals as possible during the current situation, but the widespread belt-tightening is certain to hit our budget hard during the weeks and months ahead.

Among the emergency measures EXPECTED TO BE VOTED ON SHORTLY is the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

If passed, this act would offer grants to nonprofits providing a variety of important services, unlock more giving with a short-term charitable tax deduction, and ensure that nonprofit organizations of all stripes have access to loans now made available to for-profit businesses.
 
PLEASE DON'T WAIT—CONTACT YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS RIGHT NOW!
 
And once you've taken action, be sure to share this e-mail with your family and friends. We need the support of every person as quickly as possible to ensure that this critically important measure passes Congress with complete consideration for nonprofits.

Thank you for keeping PETA's work for animals going strong during this crisis.

Sincerely,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

HEY, CAN YOU SIGN THIS? JAIME HARRISON, U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE, SOUTH CAROLINA.

Democrat Jaime Harrison is running for U.S. Senate to defeat Lindsey Graham because half of South Carolina wants him gone. If you would like to only receive our most important updates, click here. If you would like to unsubscribe, click here.



He knows he’s got a real fight on his hands -- we can defeat him in November.But Lindsey has people like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell on his side, and millions of dollars stashed away to protect his seat in the Senate.So I need to know if I can count on your help.Will you pledge to do whatever you can to DEFEAT Lindsey Graham this November?I’ll cut to the chase: Lindsey Graham is running scared.
I pleadge to DEFEAT Lindsey Graham


Folks, Lindsey Graham isn’t who he used to be.

He traded his moral compass for petty political gain and sold out his constituents, all while taking millions of dollars from special interests.

And while folks here in South Carolina are suffering, he’s flying around on Air Force One and trying to please Donald Trump.

I know South Carolina deserves a whole lot better than Lindsey Graham in the Senate.

So I’m asking you personally: Will you pledge to do whatever you can to help me DEFEAT Lindsey Graham?
SIGN THE PLEDGE →

Having you on the team means the world to me,
JAIME HARRISON
