Lucas,
The stakes for the 2016 election are higher than they've ever been.
A recent article in
Rolling Stone called it "one of the most pivotal moments of our time."
If Democrats win, we could keep the presidency, take back the Senate,
and even gain seats in the House. But if Republicans win, they could have
a hold on all three until at least 2020.
This will be a winner-take-all election — and we can't afford
to lose. Donate to help our pro-choice Democratic women win in 2016.
Think about the damage Republicans will do if they control Congress and
the White House. They'll be able to dismantle crucial federal programs
and stall progress on legislation to help women and families.
Even worse, a Republican president and Senate will stack the Supreme Court
with more judges like Antonin Scalia. And a Supreme Court filled with
Republican-appointed justices could set back women's reproductive
rights for generations.
But if Democrats win in 2016, we can expand on all the progress we've
made. We can pass legislation to ensure women receive equal pay for equal
work and make sure employers provide paid family and sick leave.
And with justices appointed by a Democratic president and approved by
a Democratic Senate, we can make sure that women's reproductive rights
are protected for future generations.
The stakes are too high for us to lose next year. Donate to help elect
our pro-choice Democratic women in 2016:
