John,

Last year, our campaign overcame more than $1 million in outside money to win our re-election and continue speaking truth to power. But most progressive campaigns don’t have the resources to take on the Big Money interests and win.

That’s why we founded the Rooted in Community Leadership PAC―to support and train candidates up and down the ballot who aren’t afraid to take on the status quo, whether it’s in Congress, state legislatures, or in our communities.

In fact, last election, our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC donated more than $128,000 to progressive candidates and organizations. And, in Michigan, we helped win back the state house and the state Supreme Court, giving Democrats a trifecta of the legislative, executive, and legislative branches.

Michigan Democrats haven’t squandered that opportunity either. They’ve protected abortion rights and passed common-sense gun reforms to protect our communities.

Help build a future that includes all of us by pitching in $5 to our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC today. Your support helps elect candidates up and down the ballot in order to build a future where we not only survive, but thrive.

In solidarity,

Rashida

John,

Together, we’re building power in the halls of Congress and in state legislatures across the country.

Last year, in Michigan, our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC supported dozens of candidates and grassroots organizations on the state and local level. And now, for the first time in 40 years, we control the Michigan State House and the Governor’s office―and we took back the State Supreme Court.

But controlling the legislative, executive, and judicial branches aren’t just symbolic victories. Progressives in Michigan are doing exactly what we elected them to do.

One of the first orders of business in Michigan was repealing Michigan’s extreme 1931 abortion ban. And last month, Michigan Governor Whitmer signed common-sense gun reforms into law, including universal background checks and gun safety storage legislation.

I founded the Rooted in Community Leadership PAC to build progressive power in Congress and across the country. And last election we donated more than $128,000 to progressive candidates and organizations.

We’re building the future of the Democratic Party and the progressive movement. And none of this would be possible without you. Donate today to continue building the future of our movement for change.

DONATE

As we elect more candidates who are rooted in their communities, we’re seeing massive opposition from corporate and right-wing interests that are invested in maintaining the unjust status quo.

In my re-election campaign, we were met with over $1 million of opposition from wealthy out-of-state donors who are threatened by our power and our movement for change. And we weren’t alone.

In Pennsylvania, Summer Lee overcame at least $2.5 million of outside spending to win her Democratic primary and eventually her general election to become the state’s first Black Congresswoman. We were proud to support Summer and progressives up and down the ballot.

Donate today to continue building progressive power and electing candidates who are truly rooted in community.
