John,

I’ve been on the road helping our candidates so often lately that it’s rare I get to sleep in my own bed anymore. But each time I get the news that someone we endorsed won their election, I know it’s worth it.

Here’s a few of the places I’ve been lately:

• Orlando, FL to support Nate Douglas. At 23 years old, Nate would be the youngest person in the Florida legislature.
• Atlanta, GA to support Bryce Berry. He’s 22 years old and would be the first public school teacher ever elected to the state legislature.
• Houston, TX to support Molly Cook. She’s also 23 years old and is currently the youngest and most progressive member of the Texas Senate.

This work is tiring, but it’s worth it to elect so many awesome young leaders — and none of it is possible without your support. Can you pitch in $25 today to help us and Blue Amp Action PAC keep electing young leaders across the country?

One thing I’ve learned is that not everyone does it like us. A lot of big national organizations will parachute in, shell out thousands of dollars for really generic-seeming ads, and call it a day.

But being on the ground, meeting campaign staff, and talking directly to voters allows us to invest your donations much more effectively because we know exactly the best place to spend it.

We can identify what each campaign needs to move the needle in their races — whether that’s more doors knocked, a TV ad, a mail piece on a certain issue, or something else entirely. 

And the work is paying off, too. Last year we elected our first endorsed candidate, Nadarius Clark, in Virginia. Just a couple weeks ago, Molly Cook won a special election to serve out the remainder of the current term in the Texas Senate — AND she just won the Democratic primary runoff by only 74 votes!

We’re looking forward to electing Nate, Bryce, Molly, and all of our endorsed candidates this November, but we truly cannot do it without your support.

As a grassroots organization, we don’t take corporate donations. We’re counting on your help to support each of the candidates we endorse.

So John, if you want to help us keep elected fantastic young leaders all over the country, please split a donation of $25 to Leaders We Deserve and Blue Amp Action today.

Thank you so much for all of your support,

David Hogg

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
