Florida’s critical role in GOP extremism + what we can do

URGENT UPDATE from the LA Times: Ron DeSantis is setting the agenda for the GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has become the poster child for GOP extremism.

DeSantis’ influence is one of the greatest threats to our rights and our democracy. With his extremist policies setting the agenda for GOP-led states across the nation, we thought you’d want to know what’s happening in Florida: DeSantis signed an extreme anti-abortion bill into law! With Trump’s support, he enacted one of the WORST attacks on voting rights in the nation – slashing vote-by-mail and restricting the use of ballot boxes. Now, Florida Republicans are eying a total ban on abortion with DeSantis’ full support! But there is some good news: In 2018, DeSantis won by just 0.4%. And now, his approval rating is TANKING, with a recent poll showing that only 28% of Americans have a positive view of him. If we’re going to take on GOP extremists like Gov. DeSantis, we need to build an army of grassroots Democrats that can take on the GOP’s multi-million dollar war chest. But we’re still waiting on your donation, and we’re falling short of our $75,000 end-of-month goal! Team, if you care about the GOP’s attacks on our rights, please act now. Our deadline is fast-approaching, and we need your support NOW. Will you chip in $3, or whatever you can, and have it MATCHED up to our $75,000 end-of-month goal so we can power Democrats to victory?
