The next Zooey Zephyr is out there – so help us keep up the momentum and elect more young progressives by donating $5 to Run for Something right now! >>

John, not a lot of folks can match the tenacity of Run for Something alum and candidate Zooey Zephyr.

Zooey made history when she became Montana’s first openly trans legislator in 2022. And she is a fierce advocate against trans panic laws that seek to deny the full humanity of trans people – like laws limiting access to gender-affirming care, banning trans youth from playing sports and making drag performances illegal for certain audiences.

Zooey knows it’s so important for her perspective to be included in the conversation – so she used her position to ignite a nationwide movement that spotlighted the GOP’s anti-democracy and hateful anti-trans policies when the Montana GOP barred her from the House chamber.

Candidates like Zooey are committed to fighting for meaningful, lasting change in their communities any way they can. Their successes in city councils and state legislatures are made possible with your support – support that helps Run for Something recruit, train, mentor and propel the next generation of young progressives to victory in local office.

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?

Progressive change – from combating climate change to increasing housing affordability – at the local level relies on recruiting young progressives just like Zooey who will tackle community issues head-on, John. We can’t rely on an older generation that refuses to make decisions in our best interest.

Every dollar you give will invoke lasting, progressive change in local communities by helping to recruit leaders who share our values. From school boards and city councils to state legislatures and beyond, your support helps foster progressive policy where it matters most.

Help us recruit young, diverse progressives just like Zooey – and make a difference at the local level and beyond – by rushing a donation right now!

Thanks for helping us secure more wins – both big and small.
