John, We build power at the local level because, for every horrendous headline like these, there's a candidate we're recruiting to run and change it.

It's no fluke that far-right extremists are targeting school boards and public libraries – they have a radical agenda they're determined to push on the rest of us. But, Movement Labs is stepping up because we only end this madness by kicking them out of office and electing good people in their place.

My job here at Movement Labs is ensuring we have the resources we need to recruit, fund, and support candidates fighting the good fight. We're spotlighting impactful leaders up and down the ballot to make sure they have everything they need to win. Today, I'd like to introduce (or reintroduce!) Chinua Rhodes.

Chinua ran for Trustee of his local school district in 2020 and serves as President of the Sacramento City Unified School District Board of Education. Because he stepped up to run and give a voice to his community, he now leads the same public schools he attended as a kid . And he's part of the team developing budgets, shaping curriculum, and making sure kids from low-wage and housing-insecure families are supported and uplifted.

Chinua is running for Trustee again next year so he can keep fighting for students and young people in his hometown. Today, you can literally double your impact by making one $8 contribution that'll be split 50-50 between Chinua's campaign and Movement Labs. Are you ready to chip in to join the fight against fascism in our public schools? [[link removed]]

Students deserve the right to read and think freely – and we need leaders like Chinua serving on school boards to fight radical curriculum overhauls and keep library shelves stocked. With your help, we'll send him back to his seat on the Board of Education and elect many more candidates just like him to local office from Sacramento to Central Florida and everywhere in between.

Double down on your commitment to change this country from the ground up. Pitch in $8 and support Chinua and our work to build progressive power over the long term. [[link removed]]

Onward,

Sarah
