Who we elect as California's next Governor is the biggest, most powerful statement we can make in 2026 about who we are as Democrats.

Let's elect a bold leader who will do the big things we have long fought for. When I'm Governor, I will deliver:

Single-payer health care because I've fought for Medicare for All my entire career, and I won't give up as California's next governor.

Less expensive housing so everyone can afford to start a family, career, or retire in California.

Free child care for all so our economy can grow and parents don't have to choose between their jobs or their kids.

Zero tuition charges at the University of California and California State University so Californians can get a world-class education without being crushed by student loan debt.

No California income taxes for those earning less than $100,000 to put thousands of dollars back in families' pockets.

Those are real affordability solutions.

I am running for Governor because I am willing and ready to get those things done, unlike my corporate-backed opponents who are running to help special interests, not working families.

I need you with me if we're going to pass these bold, progressive policies. Can you chip in $5 to my campaign today to help us out?

Thank you,

This Ramadan, I’m thinking about children living through war, hunger and fear

Friend,

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been observing Ramadan — a sacred month for Muslims around the world. From dawn until sunset, we fast. It’s a time of worship, reflection, discipline, gratitude and generosity.

At its heart, Ramadan is about empathy. Experiencing hunger and thirst, even briefly, is a powerful reminder of the millions of children and their families who endure that reality every day – not by choice, but because of circumstances beyond their control.

This year during Ramadan, my heart feels especially heavy. I'm sure that, like me, you've been watching the news with horror as events unfold across the Middle East and the wider region. Putting politics aside, it's children who are suffering the most.

Across the Middle East, the places where children learn, live and play have come under attack. More than 100 children have been killed in strikes on a school in Iran. Retaliatory airstrikes in surrounding countries have killed and injured hundreds more.

In Gaza, children have endured more than 2 years of devastating violence. Even with limited aid entering the region, children remain at crisis levels of hunger. Almost 1.5 million people are still living in displacement sites and tents. One mother told our colleague in Gaza: “I bought Ramadan decorations so my children could feel joy, but my own heart feels extinguished. There is no celebration in me while we are displaced.”

In Sudan, conflict has displaced millions, and famine has already been confirmed in parts of the country. More than 15 million children there urgently need humanitarian assistance.

Many families around the world are fasting this month — but for some, hunger doesn’t end at sunset. Your support today can bring emergency food, essential nutrition, and lifesaving aid to children in desperate need.

Rufida and her son, Ali, at a Save the Children health center

That was true for Rufida* and her 4-year-old son, Ali*. After months of conflict, they fled their home to find safety. Their journey took months, moving between relatives’ homes and small villages where food was scarce. Days often passed with nothing to eat — and Ali began showing signs of malnutrition.

When they finally reached the city of El Obeid, a Save the Children team screened Ali and referred him to a health center. Rufida now receives monthly food rations, while Ali receives regular follow-ups to ensure he’s growing healthy and strong.

Save the Children is helping millions of families like Rufida’s who face hunger, conflict and poverty – in Gaza, Sudan and around the world.

Friend, in the Muslim community, there’s a powerful teaching that we are like one body — when one part suffers, the whole feels it. So when one child suffers, we all feel the pain.

Whether you observe Ramadan or are learning about it for the first time, I hope you’ll join me in honoring this month by showing up for children facing war, hunger and other crises.

If you’re able, please consider making a gift. Your support can help deliver emergency food, nutrition care and lifesaving aid to children in crisis.

In this month of compassion and generosity, we have the opportunity to turn reflection into action for children and their families.

Wishing you peace and blessings this Ramadan,

It’s go time.

It's go time, friend.

Last night, we won our primary election for North Carolina's U.S. Senate seat – and we're officially going up against Donald Trump's handpicked candidate, Michael Whatley, in the race experts say will decide Senate control.

The GOP is already attacking our campaign. They're lying about my record here in North Carolina. They're spending millions of dollars to try to defeat me. Unless we fight back now, we will enter the general election at a huge disadvantage.

This is predicted to be the most expensive Senate race in history, and we need to raise $1 million in the next 48 hours to kick things off in the strongest position possible. Will you split a $5 gift between our campaign and Sherrod Brown's to help us reach our goal, win in North Carolina and return power to the people?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Sherrod Brown and Roy Cooper will go through immediately:

I am ready to stand up to the far right's chaos and corruption in Washington. And unlike my Republican opponent, I will never stop fighting for lower prices, affordable health care, abortion access, voting rights and good schools.

Trump and the GOP know this – and they know that if we win here, Democrats can retake control of the Senate and block their harmful agenda. Now that we're through the primary, far-right Republicans will pour even more millions into our race to prevent that from happening.

While I've never lost an election, I need the support of people like you to win again. We cannot run the risk of Trump's handpicked candidate getting to the U.S. Senate and helping the GOP hold on to power any longer.

Please split a contribution of $5 or any amount between our campaign and Sherrod Brown's to help us reach our $1 million general election fundraising goal. We must come together to face what's ahead, flip this seat from red to blue and take back the Senate for the people.

I'm grateful to have you on this team. Thank you.

Roy Cooper

The hard work starts now.

Jeanne, it's official!

Last night, I won the Democratic nomination for North Carolina's U.S. Senate seat. I'll be running against Republican Michael Whatley, a far-right Big Oil lobbyist and President Trump's handpicked candidate.

As I start my general election campaign, I'm thinking about how grateful I am for the support of folks like you that got me here. This is the time to stand up and fight for our future – and I am ready. But I need you with me.

My team and I have set a goal to raise $1 million before Thursday at midnight to kick off the general election campaign. Will you split a gift between our campaign and Catherine Cortez Masto's of $5 today to help us win the biggest Senate race in the country, break the GOP's hold on Washington and return power to the people?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Roy Cooper and Catherine Cortez Masto will go through immediately:

DONATE $50

DONATE $25

DONATE $5

Donate another amount

I didn't plan to run for federal office. I wanted to serve North Carolina from right here at home. But when I look at what's happening across the country, I know I can't leave things as they are for my daughters or for yours.

So long as Trump's extreme allies are in power, there is no path to accountability or restraint. Just more chaos, division and attacks on our fundamental freedoms.

To set our nation back on course, we must regain Senate control – and that starts by winning in North Carolina. We can flip this seat from red to blue for the first time since 2008, but far-right Republican PACs and megadonors will spend hundreds of millions to stop us.

Whether they succeed depends on people like you, Jeanne, stepping up to help us hit our goal before Thursday night. Will you split a gift between our campaign and Catherine Cortez Masto's of $5 or whatever you can today to help us reach our general election fundraising goal and build the momentum we need to win?

Thank you for everything.

Roy

Why I'm betting on James Talarico and Texas

Folks, it's Kirsten. Please read every word of this email.

Democrats need to flip four Senate seats to take back the majority in 2026. And I'm increasingly convinced that Texas is one of them.

Last night, James Talarico won Texas' Democratic Primary – and he's entering the general election in a dead heat.

James is a former middle school teacher, seminarian, and eighth-generation Texan who flipped a Trump district in his very first race for the Texas State House. And here's the good news: he's already statistically tied against either Republican opponent before a single general election dollar has been spent.

But you know as well as I do that Texas isn't a guaranteed win for Democrats, not by a long shot. That's why I'm asking you to split $20 with James Talarico's campaign to start his general election efforts off on the best possible footing.

DONATE $20 NOW >>

James knows what it takes to build a coalition that criss-crosses background and party lines. His desire to reach every voter, not just Democrats, is part of the reason why he won. That's exactly the kind of candidate who can flip Texas blue. And winning in Texas would give us a clear shot at retaking the Senate.

On the other side? Republicans are already tearing each other apart.

Ken Paxton, who was impeached by a bipartisan majority in the Texas State House, is locked in a brutal runoff against Sen. John Cornyn. Cornyn and his super PAC allies burned through at least $69 million and barely limped into the runoff. His own party has pledged to make Paxton "unelectable."

Whoever survives the GOP's runoff effort will be damaged and defined by months of attacks from within their own party.

James will be ready. But only if we help him build the infrastructure now, while Republicans are throwing millions of dollars at attack ads and smear campaigns against each other.

This week's long window before Republicans even have a nominee is precious. It's time to hire organizers, expand voter contact, and make sure James has everything he needs to fight back against Trump's MAGA millions he'll surely invest to hold onto this seat.

Will you split a contribution with James Talarico's campaign today to help us capitalize on this moment? Most supporters chip in an average of $20. But if you can only swing $10 today, any amount helps in this fight.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to James Talarico and Kirsten Gillibrand will go through immediately:

DONATE $10 NOW >>

DONATE $25 NOW >>

DONATE $50 NOW >>

DONATE $100 NOW >>

DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT >>

Texas voters are hungry for something different. James is that candidate, and Texas is one of Democrats' biggest battlegrounds in 2026.

Let's flip it.
