Folks, we’ve got some big news coming out of one of our target states, Oklahoma:
Oklahoma Republicans just voted to approve a first-of-its-kind taxpayer-funded religious charter school.
In response, a non-profit group advocating for the separation of church and state is challenging this decision in the court of law — and it’s likely this makes its way to the Supreme Court, which would set the stage for yet another major legal battle.
This is just one example of how local conservative efforts in our target regions don’t just exist in a vacuum — they have profound national implications for the future of our democracy, fundamental freedoms, and more.
That’s why the cost of overlooking so-called “red states” is so incredibly steep, and it’s why we must do everything we can to combat the decades of conservative power that exist in the Deep South, Appalachia, and Plains.
Folks, can you pitch in $25, $10, or even just $5 today to support the Groundwork Project? We’re the only national, progressive funder focused exclusively on investing in places like Oklahoma, where the battles for the future of our democracy are happening right now.
Thank you,
Joe
