John, today we’re giving special recognition to Marie Pinkney, a Run for Something alum who has joined the progressive movement for meaningful and lasting change!

Elected in 2020, Marie represents District 13 as the first African American LGBTQIA+ person ever elected to Delaware’s State Senate. Using her previous experience as a social worker, Marie carries her compassion for others in her fight for quality health care, educational support and government policies that uplift her community.

She’s even pushing for a bill that will make rules for people on parole and probation fairer, aiming to reduce rates of repeat offenders and improve the supervision process.

Candidates like Marie are actually fighting for a better future for young people and we’re working hard to recruit more candidates like her, but we can’t do it without your support. Please, will you chip in $5 now and help us bring an end to the gerontocracy in our country by recruiting more young progressives for office?

CHIP IN NOW

John, the truth of the matter is that younger generations are highly underrepresented in our government, and unfortunately, we can’t count on older folks in our government to make decisions in our best interest.

Issues that are important to younger generations – the housing crisis, global warming and more – simply aren’t top of mind for those leading the gerontocracy.

But for Sen. Pinkney, they certainly are. Candidates like Marie who fight every day for a brighter future that serves everyone make us so proud of the work we do. And we’re determined to get more progressives like her in office who will work for younger generations.

With your support, we can recruit more young, diverse progressives like Marie. So we’re asking: Will you please chip in $5 or whatever you can so that we can keep on recruiting candidates who will take down the gerontocracy and fight for our futures?
