John, the impact and inspiration created by this of type of work is incredible.When we talk about creating change, and utilizing direct democracy, this is the kind of work that leads to success. Just imagine the kind of movement we can create if we fund and support rural organizers that are doing this work on the ground and in their communities. If it feels like the odds are against us, just take a look at what they were up against in rural Wisconsin: -
A conservative county board approved placing a universal healthcare referendum on the ballot unanimously!
- This initiative won the popular vote in an area that went for Trump twice!
- The deep-red, rural areas our team was able to canvas significantly outperformed the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate on this same ticket.
We need to support these movements, scale and expand them, and inspire activists by demonstrating the craft. This is what ROCC is doing. This is what you are supporting if you decide to chip in today.
