Hi, Friend. PCCC co-founder Adam Green here. There is a very important congressional race next week. See info below. The NY Times compares Morgan Harper to AOC and we are trying to raise her a final $10,000 for her unique Get Out The Vote campaigning in this crazy coronavirus time. Any chance you can read the below and chip in something today?
If you want to learn even more, she did a Zoom video call with PCCC members last week. Thanks for considering. Every bit is useful. Hope you are staying safe. -- Adam

Morgan Harper (OH-03) was a senior advisor for Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She is now running for Congress on April 28 against incumbent Joyce Beatty, a corporate Democrat who has taken over $2 million in corporate PAC money, helped Republicans disenfranchise Black voters through gerrymandering, and actively calls Medicare for All and a Green New Deal a "pipe dream."
Morgan was born and raised in the district. She lived in a foster home before being adopted by her mother, an immigrant from Trinidad. She earned a law degree at Stanford and fought predatory lenders at the CFPB. The NY Times reports "there are similarities between Ms. Harper, 36, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York" as she campaigns against economic segregation and for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, a Jobs Guarantee, and universal child care.
Morgan out-fundraised her incumbent opponent for much of last year and was ready for a March 17 election. Because of the pandemic, her primary was moved to April 28. Her opponent has taken advantage of that extra month, re-filling her coffers with corporate money that she is now using on the airwaves. Morgan has TV, digital, and radio ads -- but needs more money to increase their volume for voters making up their mind in the final days. She is also running an aggressive voter contact program by phone, which costs money.
PCCC members have donated over $25,000 via over 1,600 donations so far. Let's keep it up!

Want to support the Warren wing? Senator Elizabeth Warren says, "When PCCC members donate millions in small-dollar donations and make millions of phone calls for progressive candidates, leaders in Washington, they take notice." Chip in $3 here.
