In Florida, two right-wing "Moms for Liberty" members -- one actively
running for school board -- went to the local sheriff's office and accused
public school librarians of felonies, alleging they were distributing
pornography to minors.

The book at issue is a New York Times best seller recommended for teens by
School Library Journal, which is a professional association of Florida
librarians, and by Barnes & Noble!

Our Save Our School Boards program supports candidates who are actively
fighting against right-wing extremism. This year, 65% of our school board
candidates won -- many defeating "Moms for Liberty" extremists like this.

It's working! Save Our School Board candidates we endorsed and supported
won their races in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio, Colorado,
Idaho, New Jersey, Oregon, and New Mexico this year.

Here's why -- in the words of school board candidates who have won:

Karl Frisch is a Fairfax, Virginia school board member who ran for
re-election in November with PCCC’s support. Frisch told The American
Prospect, "When somebody decides to run for office, it is an enormous
undertaking. PCCC's candidate training really helped flesh out what to do,
and how to run an effective campaign that gets my message in front of the
voters I need to win."

Missy Zombor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin told ABC News: "School Board
campaigns are some of the most polarizing and difficult political
campaigns right now and they are often run by brand-new candidates with
little to no campaigning experience. Learning how to build a budget,
obtain your voter file, communicate with the media, and prepare for
everything else along the way can be daunting."

National media are paying close attention:

ABC News reports the PCCC is leading the charge to fight back against
right-wing extremism on school boards: "The Progressive Change Campaign
Committee (PCCC) launched the 'Save Our School Boards' campaign to boost
more than 200 aligned school board candidates in the upcoming cycle."

Politico reports that the "Save Our School Boards initiative from the
Progressive Change Campaign Committee is also intended to serve as a
liberal attempt to create a national school board slate."

The American Prospect adds that "PCCC's 'Save Our School Boards' campaign
is to give progressive candidates the tools they need to not only stand up
to right-wing extremism, but also to learn how to run successful campaigns
and implement a progressive agenda."

90% of PCCC survey respondents recently said they are very concerned about
right-wing control over school boards.

That's why thousands of people are helping defeat right-wing extremism in
schools by donating to the PCCC’s national Save Our School Boards campaign
to equip hundreds of low-budget school board candidates with training,
resources, and money to defeat extremists in 2024.

We anticipate our program will cost $450,000 through 2024. Our resources
will continue to guide first-time school board candidates through
gathering petition signatures, creating a campaign plan, budgeting,
building a grassroots army, and more.

2024 is important to you, please donate what you can to this important
campaign today.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
