This is urgent: corporate super PACs and dark-money special interests like AIPAC just spent almost $100 MILLION trying to buy a handful of midterm primaries in Illinois. 
They pounded the airwaves with lies, hid behind innocent-sounding names, and tried to crush grassroots progressives with an avalanche of attack ads. And they're doing it under the cover of darkness, setting up shell PACs to hide their donations and running attack ads that never even mention Israel or crypto or AI. This is just the beginning. Special interests are already doubling down in races from Maine to California, and they will spend even more to drown out our voices in the coming weeks. We can't match them dollar for dollar so the ONLY way to fight back is to out-organize them. We've got key races coming up fast in Maine, California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and more. Our Revolution is ready to fight back against millions flooding our political system – but to scale up our grassroots organizing we need your help. Can you rush a donation now?

This Illinois primary was just the beginning of what we'll see from AIPAC, crypto and AI dark money this cycle – and proof that they're not letting up. They're burying candidates in anonymous attack spending and hoping voters don't notice who's behind it. There is some good news: despite this massive spending, these groups didn't see the wins they were counting on in Illinois. But as they double down across the country, if we're going to stop them from out-spending their candidates to victory, we need to fight back by rolling out our proven organizing and get-out-the-vote programs in targeted races across the country. 
We've got a winning playbook that turns out real voters, door by door, phone call by phone call. Everywhere dark money tries to buy a seat, we dig in, organize, and talk to folks about issues that matter. Here's what's coming next: - In Maine, unapologetic populist and former marine Graham Platner is taking the fight directly to Sen. Susan Collins' seat – but only if we organize enough to help him surge in a crowded primary. And Troy Jackson, a longtime Bernie ally, could become the next Governor – if grassroots supporters join in now.
- In California, Jane Kim is running on a vision for Medicare for All coverage for Insurance Commissioner.
- In Pennsylvania, Bernie-backed Bob Brooks is running on a concrete plan to put working families ahead of corporate donors.
- And in Maryland, Wala Blegay is going up against the legacy machine for Rep. Steny Hoyer's open seat.
Every dollar lets us double down in the next primary, have real conversations with the voters who can swing the race, and keep the door open for the next generation of leaders. With every dollar you give, we can reach a voter six times before Election Day – sometimes that's literally the difference between winning and losing a close primary. Let's make sure AIPAC and dark money can't slam the door on our movement – chip in now! Together, we can prove that people – not dark money – decide our future. Let's win these primaries for working families and elect leaders who will never sell out to big donors. When we organize, we win. Our Revolution
