Friend,
Representation saves lives. A key example is Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley calling on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to include racial data in its coronavirus testing.
History shows that Black communities are disproportionately impacted by a host of universal issues, and that includes pandemics. Ayanna knew this and that's why she wasted no time in pushing for the CDC to collect racial data in real-time.
Representation like Ayanna's strengthens our democracy so that it works for the people it's supposed to serve. This November, we have the opportunity to elect more Black leaders like Ayanna to make sure our communities aren't left behind. Make a contribution today to help us elect the Black leaders of tomorrow.

For our team, fighting for equal representation isn't just about the numbers. It's about having power, access to resources, and our voices heard.
The promise of our democracy is that our government would be for the people and of the people. But COVID-19 proves this isn't the case. Across the country, our communities are being ignored and left behind. This shows in the data.
Look, this pandemic proves how much more work there is still left to do in the fight for our democracy. If you can, please chip in to our 2020 Fund today so we can elect the next Black wave this November 3.
