Hey there — it’s David Hogg, gun safety advocate and co-founder of March For Our Lives.

The GOP and conservative special interest groups have been playing a 50-year chess game to elect far-right extremists to every level of government to manipulate our country and attack our rights and freedoms. They are willing to let children be slaughtered at school and watch our planet burn for personal gain.

But young people have a habit of being underestimated. And when we demonstrate our collective power, we scare the shit out of Republicans.

That’s why with an incredible team, we launched Leaders We Deserve — a grassroots organization dedicated to electing young leaders to Congress, and especially our State Legislatures, across the country to help defeat the far-right’s agenda and advance a progressive vision for the future.

We can’t do this without you by our side. Will you become a Founding Donor by splitting a donation between Leaders We Deserve and Groundwork Project today?

I’ll be blunt: There is no shortage of people who want us to fail. And unless we band together and fight back, nothing is going to change.

It’s part of why despite making up 45% of the electorate, Gen Z and Millennials only hold 21% of State Legislature seats.

Special interest groups, far-right extremists, and those hoarding the power are so determined to maintain the status quo that they will spend millions to keep Gen Z candidates from winning. They think that they can continue to manipulate the system to keep us out of elected office.

Let’s prove them wrong, folks.

That’s why I’m personally asking: Will you become a Founding Donor to Leaders We Deserve by splitting a donation with Groundwork Project today?
