With polls showing a razor-thin election, our winning strategy is laser-focused on peer-to-peer relational organizing with young voters—the same voters who delivered the White House, House, and Senate in 2020.

And we know that Donuts + Democracy is a powerful and cost-effective way to boost this effort.

We’re just $15K away from helping to ensure that Trump never returns to the White House and that Kamala Harris makes history as the first female president, backed by a strong Democratic majority in Congress. Your donation today can make the difference. Please donate now and share this newsletter with others who are committed to winning Democratic victories nationwide.

You can Venmo us at @Donuts-Democracy (last four of mobile 6888).

If you want to donate by PayPal or Zelle, please message us. 

Finally, none of this would have been possible without the hundreds of incredible student organizers who juggle their academic workload each semester with volunteering hundreds of hours to ensure that our democracy prevails this November.

Our heroes this week are the MSU College Democrats (Jen Anderson, Neel Singh, Jay Long, Hayden Brandt, Brady Bremer, Blake Linderman, Cara Shuttler and Trysten Jordan) and GA Tech College Democrats (Audrey Zeff, Lukas Kassatly, Arvind Sthanukrishnan, Delia Neufeld, Porter Zach, Kate Bossler and Ellise Barker). Be sure to follow them on social media: MSU Twitter, Facebook and IG and GA Tech Twitter, Facebook and IG.

As always, thank you for your commitment to our country and to protecting our fundamental freedoms.

In your corner,

HH & ML
