 Dear John, Mitch McConnell has no place in the Senate. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives in the past few months, and McConnell decided it was more important to prioritize trillions of dollars on bailing out corporate interests instead of supporting hospitals and essential workers. We have to get him out of office and replace him with someone who doesn’t look at the family and friends we’ve lost as collateral damage. Charles Booker is that person. He knows the struggles of everyday working people first hand because he’s lived them himself. He’s a type 1 diabetic, grew up in poverty in one of the poorest zip codes in my home state of Kentucky, and fights for the lives of black and brown people daily. He’s a true Green New Deal champion. And he’s got backup: 16 members of the Kentucky House Democrats endorsed Booker just this week. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Chip in $3 We’ve already started the work: this Wednesday, our massive movement-wide phone bank made over 6,000 calls in one hour on behalf of Charles. We swayed tons of hearts that night, but we will need much larger numbers than that to kick McConnell out of the race. We want to do so much more, but we need help to get it done. By contributing, you’ll be helping Sunrise and Charles tackle this fight from as many angles as we can. Can you chip in so a true champion of the people can replace McConnell and end his nightmarish tenure as Senator? Together we can dump this grim reaper, Erin Bridges, Fundraising Director P.S. - We know times are tough right now for some of us. If you can’t contribute, consider signing up to make calls with us instead. If a few hundred of us reached 6,000 people in just one hour, imagine what even more of us could achieve. |
