Hey John — It’s Summer

My opponents have taken to branding me as "radical." Why? Because I
believe in safety in our schools, the future of our families, workers'
rights, and healthcare for all. 

Because I stand against corporate greed, fight for LGBTQ+ rights, and
advocate for housing, clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and will
always stand up against environmental racism.

What they call “radical" is what regular folks would call common sense. In
their attempts to uphold the status quo, they've twisted my dedication to
justice and equality into something they hope will scare you away.

[ [link removed] ]What they're really scared of is us bringing real change to our
communities that puts the people first. Could you help show them how
powerful our voices can be by making a $10 contribution or whatever you
can afford today? Every dollar strengthens our fight for justice, equity,
and the "radical" idea that all people deserve to live with dignity.

Here’s my question though: Since when did fighting for basic human dignity
and rights become SO "radical"?

Ensuring our children can learn without fear and our educators can safely
teach our kids is not radical—it's fundamental.

Securing a prosperous future for our families, one where they can thrive
without the shadow of financial stress, is not radical—it's essential.

Standing with workers for fair wages and safe working conditions is not
radical—it's just.

Challenging corporate greed and its stranglehold on our democracy is not
radical—it's for the good of the people.

Advocating for healthcare for all, a system where illness doesn't equate
to financial ruin, is not radical—it's humane.

Demanding equal rights and protections for our LGBTQ+ friends and
neighbors is not radical—it's love.

Insisting on accessible housing and an environment with clean air and
water for all is not radical—it's a basic human right.

Confronting and dismantling environmental racism is not radical—it's
imperative for our communities.

Yet, despite these truths, there are those who spend their time and
resources weaving falsehoods about our mission, employing fear to fracture
our community and diminish our efforts. They are willing to lie about us
and about me just to preserve their power and the imbalances that have
plagued our society for far too long.

That's why I need you, today.

[ [link removed] ]Let’s show our opponents what our movement is really made of, which is
advocating for folks like you, John[ [link removed] ]. Can you chip in $10 or
whatever is affordable to help accomplish these so-called “radical” goals?
Every single dollar we raise helps us fight back!

Together, we're not just refuting the label "radical”—we're redefining it.
We're claiming it as a badge of honor because we are radically
compassionate, radically fair, and radically committed to justice for all.

Thank you for standing with me, for believing in the "radical" idea that
we all deserve equality, safety, and happiness. They may try to take us
down, but we'll keep rising, stronger and more determined than ever
before.

In solidarity,
Rep Summer Lee
