Down in Philly, something remarkable is happening.
Helen Gym, a community organizer, teacher, and former City Councilmember, is running an insurgent mayoral campaign against self-funding millionaires and the entrenched political establishment — and with two weeks left, a poll shows she’s in a statistical 3-way tie to win.
Can you chip in today to support Helen’s campaign in the final stretch?
For over 30 years, Helen has stood up to the status quo and delivered results. When schools were understaffed and water fountains had lead in them, she stepped up to guarantee safe drinking water, nurses, and counselors in every school.
When low-wage workers were being exploited, she passed legislation to guarantee reliable schedules.
And when Philly had one of the highest rates of eviction in the country, Helen passed legislation that cut evictions by 70%.
Just last week, a dark money PAC started running attack ads against Helen. Like Helen, Alexandria has also faced attacks from right-wing billionaires who want to close our schools, criminalize our youth, and deport our neighbors, all while lining their own pockets.
But both Alexandria and Helen know that our power lies in our connections to each other, and that a burgeoning people-powered movement from Philly to New York to Chicago and beyond is going to transform the status quo that has held this country back for too long.
It will take all of us fighting together, in every city and in every corner of this country, to win the future we deserve — a future where housing is a human right, immigrant families are welcomed, workers are protected, and our communities are safe and vibrant.
It’s leaders like Helen who will help make that vision a reality.
Onwards,
Team AOC
