John — Hi, I’m Barbara Lee with a personal message on where we go from here.
First, I want to thank you for powering my Senate campaign through Our Revolution’s work.
Because of dedicated supporters like you, we made over 2 MILLION voter contacts in California — lifting up our issue priorities for Peace, healthcare for all, environmental justice, racial equality, and so much more.
While we didn’t prevail, our grassroots movement for bold progressive change is just getting started. But, despite being heavily outspent by my opponents, our values never wavered. Now more than ever, I’m fired up to keep fighting alongside you for the values we believe in – justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
Through this campaign, we’ve built a powerful coalition of Black, Latino, and AAPI leaders; young people; the LGBTQ+ community; reproductive freedom advocates; and progressives like us who will keep working together to advance our movement for justice.
But here’s our challenge: We learned that big money and corporate power will do whatever it takes to undercut progressive candidates like myself and our people-centered policy goals.
That’s why I’m proud to announce that I’ll keep working with Our Revolution and our coalition this 2024 election cycle and beyond to make sure progressive candidates have the financial resources and strategic support to overcome structural barriers — and WIN.
I’ll have more details soon, but I wanted to let you know first that our fight for the future will continue.
Our nation and our world are facing existential threats - Trump, war, climate chaos, and more - but together we have laid a path forward that we can’t afford to abandon.
In gratitude & solidarity,
Barbara Lee U.S. Congresswoman (CA-12) Friend of Our Revolution
