Here's the truth:
John,
I know how easy it can be to feel discouraged with everything that has been going on—but let me remind you: we’ve always known that real power doesn't come from one speech or one politician. It comes from us, from communities standing together, pushing forward, refusing to back down even when the fight feels tough.
After this week’s State of the Union, once again riddled with Trump's endless lies and distractions, let's get one thing clear: Donald Trump's empty promises and divisive rhetoric don't pay bills, put food on tables, or guarantee affordable healthcare for our families.
I’m out here fighting for something real: dignity, justice, and opportunity for every single person—not just billionaires and big corporations.
But this fight is urgent, and it’s bigger than any one person—it needs you. We can't afford to sit back or slow down. Your support today can mean the difference between standing strong and being drowned out by Trump's noise. Will you click here and donate $5, $15, $30, or whatever you can afford right now to power this critical work?
We come ready, and we stay ready—so we never have to get ready. That means staying vigilant, organizing, and holding the line even when it's not easy or convenient. Our preparedness is our power. When Trump and his allies push misinformation, we push truth. When they try to divide us, we show up united. This fight demands constant readiness, and that's exactly how we show up—every single day.
Here's the truth: We heard plenty of promises from Trump, but the issues our communities really face weren't meaningfully addressed.
Not one real solution to the housing crisis that's forcing families out of neighborhoods they've lived in for generations.
Not a single concrete step to address the fact that too many families in my district and beyond are still living paycheck to paycheck.
No urgency around the climate crisis, even though pollution, flooding, and extreme weather hurt communities like ours first—and hardest.
But speeches don't scare me—because I know what real power looks like. It looks like us, fighting together for the communities we love. It looks like people standing together for change, demanding justice.
That's why I'm asking you again, because I believe in this movement—and I believe in us. Will you chip in right now with whatever you can give to ensure our voices remain heard?

This is our fight, and together, I know we're unstoppable.
In solidarity,
Summer
