John, have we lost sight of how critical down-ballot victories are? The fact is, down-ballot victories absolutely translate UP! 🔼
Â
In many areas across rural America, Republican control at the local and state level has stopped progress in its tracks. Gerrymandering is just one example. We recently reported to you about Republican county boards withholding ARPA funding from their own communities for petty personal and partisan reasons. Progress can never resonate nationally if it's stopped in it's tracks from the beginning.
Â
We need leaders who selflessly work for the good of their communities because they truly care. Because they live there. Because they understand the obstacles and the needs that are unique to their districts.
Â
ROCC partners have successfully won victories in their local communities by leading on the issues that matter to working families. We are packaging these successful techniques as training tools to be adapted and applied to other areas through direct consultation between rural organizers.
Â
It's a network designed to benefit from the sum of our experiences and bring forward the most successful grassroots mobilization techniques. ROCC is the type of organizing infrastructure Democrats have lacked in rural America for far too long!
Â
It's time to stop playing catch-up and start going on the offensive. We can win these seats from the ground up by empowering local leaders on their own turf. By leading on the issues themselves and engaging with voters face-to-face. Get involved on-the-ground in your community and invite your organization to participate in the Rural Outreach Coordinated Campaign.
Â
Or, John, chip in a small donation to sustain this organizing infrastructure that's engineered to help us win back control from the ground up!Â
