Cheri Beasley, the Democratic Senate candidate in North Carolina, just threw down the gauntlet!
In an entirely unexpected action this morning, Beasley announced the launch of a joint fundraising effort to help Democrats hold the Senate.
Rather than fundraising for herself, like most politicians have to do, she’s now advocating for and fundraising for all five of the Democratic nominees in competitive Senate races, with the explicit goal of codifying Roe and ending the filibuster.
She’s calling the ActBlue fundraising campaign the “Flippable Five.” When you donate to the Flippable Five fund, your donation will get evenly split between the campaigns of the five Democratic candidates who, according to polling, are challenging vulnerable Republicans:
- John Fetterman in Pennsylvania
- Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin
- Cheri Beasley in North Carolina
- Tim Ryan in Ohio
- Val Demmings in Florida
The strategy of the Flippable Five fund is groundbreaking. While many people may choose to donate to a candidate or two in a midterm cycle, rarely does anyone donate to all the most competitive races. But the Flippable Five fund makes that easy for everyday people to do: with one click, you can make an impact on all five races!
Every liberal-leaning person in America who has the capacity to make a political donation needs to donate to this fund right now. If we all chip in $10 or $20 today, that’s money that could add up to significantly more canvassers, door hangers, and social media ads in October. These candidates are currently finalizing their budgets for the fall, so having more resources today will double or triple the impact they can have later.
With that in mind, consider clicking the following link and donating to the Flippable Five fund today!
And if you can’t donate, you can help spread the word! You can retweet Cheri Beasley’s tweet announcing the fund, or copy and paste the following link to share it on other social media sites. If you have any friends or family, you can email it to them, too:

Lastly, if you want to help this blog post get seen more on this website, feel free to click the Recommend button at the top of this post (or the star if you’re viewing this post on a mobile device). Doing so will hopefully help spread the word to many other liberals that there’s an easy way to help the key elections this fall!
Together, we can help abolish the filibuster, protect a woman’s right to choose, and give us the Senate we need to pass key legislation. But it will only happen if we take action today!
