Hey Friend,

It’s more important than ever that we take the time to learn about and honor the Black leaders who contribute so much to our country. 

We continue to celebrate and uplift progressive Black leaders who are paving the way for the next generation and fighting back against Trump’s racist attacks.

And we’re thrilled to spotlight Rep. Summer Lee from Pennsylvania!

Making history as the first Black woman from Western Pennsylvania elected to the state legislature and eventually Congress, Summer used her skills as an organizer and a lawyer to run campaigns that would actually serve the communities that elected her.

In Congress, she’s fought to improve infrastructure and public transportation by funding $143M into the system, funding over $22M to ensure cleaner air and drinking water, lower housing costs, and protect voting rights by co-sponsoring bills like the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Throughout her time organizing and in Congress, she’s been consistent in her passion for giving a voice to her community. Lee knows that true change starts at the community level, which is why she co-founded UNITE, a grassroots group that played a key role in electing Pittsburgh’s first Black mayor, Ed Gainey.

Given Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to undermine the rights of Black Americans and threaten the futures of the youth that Lee has tirelessly defended, she won't hesitate to call out their hypocrisy:

No matter what happens these next four years, we understand that diversity is the backbone of our country — that’s why we are dedicated to fighting for a more equitable future for our generation.

Friend, Democrats like Summer Lee are taking office and making change nationwide to help solve the most important issues of our generation – and supporters like you are critical to their historic victories. So please, click here to make sure you are registered to vote! >>

Thank you for celebrating Black History Month with us, Friend!

In solidarity,
