Summer's win is a glimpse of what we can achieve together
Hey John,
Guess what? Last election, we did something amazing – we got Summer Lee elected as Pennsylvania's first Black congresswoman! That's huge for us and for anyone who's all about racial justice and real democracy.
But let's talk real for a sec: candidates like Summer, coming from working-class backgrounds and places like Braddock, PA, don't get the same funding love. Why? Well, they usually don't have those wealthy boy’s club billionaire friends that other candidates have.
Did you know Black women typically raise just about a third of what their white counterparts do? That means less cash for ads, chatting with voters, and all that campaign jazz. And that's not even counting the heaps of money our opponents throw into nasty, racist, untrue attacks.
Here's where you come in. What if we could bridge that funding gap? Even your small donation can do wonders. It helps spread Summer's message, gets her voice out there, and gives her the tools she needs to keep fighting for us. Whether it's $5, $20, or whatever you can – every bit counts!
This isn't just about Summer; it's about our democracy's future. Without enough backing, Black women can't bring their real-life experiences and passionate advocacy to the table. And get this – 29 states still haven't elected a Black woman to Congress. We changed that in Pennsylvania, thanks to people like you!
Summer's win is a glimpse of what we can achieve together. But she needs us now more than ever to keep up the good fight and push back against those unfair attacks that are coming from not just ONE, but TWO opponents!
Your donation today – no matter the size – is a stand against injustice, a vote for diversity, and a high-five to someone who's out there hustling for those who need it most. Can you chip in any amount today to help us close this gap?

Together, we can create a future where everyone's voice is heard, our democracy mirrors us all, and every leader gets a fair shot!
Thanks for sticking with us and for being a part of this groundbreaking, people-powered journey.
In Solidarity & With Much Gratitude,
Team Summer Lee
