We're doing this for our democracy
I wrote this fundraising email on July 1, 2020, as we were getting ready to celebrate Independence Day.

In just a few days on July 4th, we will celebrate America’s Independence Day. As it is every year, this is a time to thank the people who have fought to protect our country and its values, especially American troops who have served and are serving in dangerous places. It will also be a time to ask ourselves, what are we doing to protect our democracy here at home? What are we doing to honor the American heroes who bled and died to protect the right to vote?
That is why I wake up every morning committed that our party remove as many barriers to voting each day as we possibly can. That’s why I eagerly monitor the number of voters we’re signing up for Vote-By-Mail ballots each week (there were more than 12,000 Democrats who signed up in Miami-Dade County this week).
What we’re doing is working. The phone calls are working. The text messages are working. The digital ads are working. The postcards are working. The roundtables, the livestreams, the forums: they’re working. But we have more people to reach. Will you join me in pitching in $10 or $25 to scale this up?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
We can’t let up. We can’t get complacent. We can’t look at the polls and think our work is done. (Remember how well that worked in 2016?)
We’re doing this for our democracy.
I hope you and your family enjoy Independence Day this weekend and I hope you stay safe and healthy.
Yours in the fight,
Steve Simeonidis
Chair, Miami-Dade Democratic Party
