[ [link removed] ]Summer Lee for Congress



John,

As you all know, we made history last year by electing Summer Lee as the
first Black woman ever elected to Congress from Pennsylvania in United
States history! This is a big deal for our community and for everyone who
believes in racial justice and reflective democracy. .

But here's the reality: Black women from working class families like
Summer and left behind communities like Braddock, PA are the **most**
underfunded candidates and struggle to raise enough to fund their
campaigns. One major reason — Black women don’t have many boy’s club
billionaire friends. 

In fact, Black women usually raise only **a third** of what white female
candidates do. This means they have less money for advertising, talking to
voters,  and everything else it takes to win a campaign. And that’s before
you factor in the millions of dollars our Right-wing funded opponents
spend on attacking us with racist smears and baseless lies.
This is where your support can make a real difference. Imagine if we could
close that funding gap. [ [link removed] ]Even a small donation from you could help us
reach more people, share our message more widely, and give Summer the
resources she needs to keep fighting for the people who need it most!
Whether it's $5, $20, or more, every contribution adds up!

This funding gap is a huge problem for EVERY single one of us and for the
future of our democracy. Without enough support, Black women can't bring
the lived experience and fearless fight for the issues our communities are
facing every single day. Sadly, **29 states have NEVER elected a Black
woman** to Congress, and that number would still be at 30 if folks like
you didn’t step up to help Summer beat the odds.

Summer’s win shows that a better future is possible, but she needs our
help to keep the momentum going and fend off vicious attacks from the
right. 

[ [link removed] ]Your donation, big or small today, is more than just money. It's a way
to challenge unfairness, support diverse leaders, and stand with someone
who works REALLY hard for those in need.

Let's make Summer's victory the start of something bigger. Together, we
can build a future where everyone's voice matters, our democracy reflects
us all, and every leader has a fair chance to make a difference.

Thanks for your continued support and for being part of this historic
people-powered movement.

 

In solidarity,

Team Summer Lee
