Meet the young Democrats waging war on MAGA from behind enemy lines
"We're seeing this across the country. It's no coincidence that some of the loudest voices pushing back are young leaders in red states."

John:
Last week we saw a record breaking 680 people sign up to run for office in response to the Tennessee Three. More than half the potential candidates signing up are from red states, 10% are from Tennessee, and nearly half were born after 1994.
Young progressives are
pissed about what they're seeing from Republicans in state legislatures, from restricting trans rights to kicking out legislators who dare speak up against gun culture in America, and they're doing something about it —
they're running for office.
With over twice our weekly average of new candidates to support, we've got our work cut out for us in the best way. Chip in
$5
or whatever you can to help get all of these brave new candidates on their way to winning big at the state and local levels.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
This is exactly what we're built for: This is why we work in EVERY state, not just the ones on the DC target lists. This is why we recruit all year long, not just during big election years.
Run for Something invests in the races and the states that the Democratic establishment has historically ignored, because supporting and electing diverse, young progressives matters just as much in Florida and Tennessee as it does in Michigan and Virginia.
But when we get an unexpected flood of signups, we have to pivot fast and scale up.
With over 680 new folks fired up and ready to get started just from last week (and more signups every time we hit refresh), we need to make sure we have the resources on hand to support them. If you're pissed off by what is happening in TN and beyond, will you rush in
$5
or more right now?
Let's do this,
