Dear friend,
this email is different from most I send.
Today, I ask you to take a moment and reflect. Cast your mind back to January 6th, a day that shook our democracy to its core.
The heartbreak we felt as the Capitol was defiled. The horror of seeing members of Congress hunted by insurrectionists. It was a day that tested the very foundation of American democracy. A day that revealed just how fragile our freedoms are.
Now, with Donald Trump set to return to the White House, we face an even graver threat to our democracy. Trump’s extremist allies are emboldened, and their target is clear: Washington State.
The same dangerous ideologies that led to January 6th are fueling attacks on our values and attempting to dismantle the progress we’ve built. They want to take over our communities, overturn our elections, and inject Trump’s chaos into every corner of our state.
But I know this: Washington will not back down.
If we stand together, if we organize, and if we fight back, we can protect our state from the creeping threats of authoritarianism and extremism.
Your support isn’t just about raising funds – it’s about ensuring our state remains a beacon of progress, hope, and democracy.
Every dollar you contribute goes directly to organizing, training volunteers, and supporting Democrats who will defend our state from Trump’s agenda. One thing is certain, the GOP is already lining up folks to challenge our incumbents.
The stakes are higher than ever. Let’s make sure Washington continues to stand on the right side of history.
In solidarity,
Chair Shasti Conrad
