The reported plans to target ActBlue through a presidential memorandum raise concerning implications for free speech and fair elections. ActBlue is a legal online fundraising platform used by millions of grassroots donors across the political spectrum. Attempts to undermine such a widely-used civic engagement tool could disenfranchise countless Americans and restrict their ability to participate in the democratic process. Ensuring secure and accessible pathways for citizen involvement should be a nonpartisan priority. I urge you to reject any measures that would impede the rights of your constituents to make their voices heard through legitimate political giving. Protecting freedom of speech and association is fundamental to a healthy democracy.
