 Dear John, This public health crisis has shown just how bad the economic and racial inequalities in our country are. We can’t be out in the streets, so we’re doing the next best thing. To fight back, our Sunrise Dallas hub has joined the Green New Deal Victory Team, pledging to make phone calls every week for candidates who will champion healthcare and a livable future for ALL people in Congress. I bet you might feel nervous about making phone calls to people you don’t know. I’ll tell you a secret. I still do. When I came to my hub’s first phonebank in March, I talked really fast and fumbled over easy words. People hung up on me. Another Sunrise Dallas hub member, Kevin, kept encouraging me, and made sure I had everything I needed to succeed. By making calls for Green New Deal Champion, Mike Siegel, we made a difference in the fight for our future, and helped send him to his runoff in first place. After an hour of calling and some good conversations, I felt calm, even hopeful. Can you join the Green New Deal Victory Team and make phone calls once a week for Sunrise-endorsed candidates? You'll get support from superstars like Kevin who will train you and be on standby to answer your questions while you make calls. Your calls will ensure that our political leaders prioritize clean air, people’s well-being, and good jobs during this crisis. When our Green New Deal champions win, they’ll work alongside our movement to push forward the bold policies we need for a better future. Let’s do this. Shine bright, P.S. We need you to phonebank even if you can’t commit to it every week. Join one of our weekly phone bank sessions for Green New Deal champions here. |
