John, huge news from Leaders We Deserve’s first elected candidate:

Nadarius Clark, who we helped get elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, just got his gun safety bill passed and signed — by a Republican governor, no less!

Will you make an immediate split donation of $25 to Leaders We Deserve and Blue Amp Action so we can elect even more inspirational young leaders like Nadarius this November?

Stopping gun violence is one of the biggest reasons Nadarius ran for office in the first place, and he knew that even with a Republican governor in office, something had to be done.

Nadarius wasn’t willing to sit around and wait years for a Democratic governor with a spine to replace the NRA-backed Republican currently in office, so he started thinking about what he could get done under the current circumstances.

He landed on a bill that offers tax credits to gun owners who buy gun locks and safes, so that no gun owner faces a financial barrier to keep their weapons safe and out of the reach of kids and others who shouldn’t be able to get them.

Look, I get it — this may not be everything we wanted, but if even one life is saved as a result of this bill, it was worth it. And you can bet that when the current NRA-backed governor is replaced with a Democrat who’s willing to keep our communities safe, Nadarius will be there leading the charge to do even more.

What makes all this even more impressive is that Nadarius is the youngest person serving in the Virginia legislature, and his district is the most competitive in the entire state.

Last year we gave Nadarius’ campaign about $100,000, and he won by just about 800 votes. That secured a 1 seat majority in the House of Delegates which enabled him to pass this law and kill a separate GOP bill that sought to arm teachers.

It’s clear to me that this work is making a difference — but as a grassroots organization that doesn’t take corporate donations, we’re counting on your support to keep going.

Leaders We Deserve has endorsed 13 more candidates for this year’s elections, John. Will you split a $25 contribution between Blue Amp Action and Leaders We Deserve right now to support our work so these young candidates can win their elections and start making a difference just like Nadarius?

Thank you,

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.
