John,
In a [ [link removed] ]powerful interview last night, something remarkable happened: The
hosts noticed Summer spent the entire conversation passionately advocating
for working families, progressive causes, economic justice, and empowering
everyday Americans—but never once promoting herself. In fact, the hosts
had to stop and ask her directly why she hadn’t promoted herself at all:
When pressed, Summer opened up and spoke from the heart:
“Listen, it's actually harder for Black women to raise money. More than
that, it's harder for progressives to raise money. We're not taking dark
money. We raise our dollars $5, $10, $20, $100, $1000 at a time. I know
that y'all are sick of people and politicians saying, please give us
money, but listen, I won't be here if we don't raise money. And we're
fighting forces that aren't looking for freedom, they're not looking to
end wars. They're not looking to have diverse voices in Congress—and
that's bipartisan, across the board.”
Summer's honesty shines a light on the reality of political campaigns
today. She is battling billionaires, special interests, and powerful
political insiders who aim to silence progressive, diverse, and authentic
voices in Congress. But Summer has something incredibly powerful on her
side: YOU and countless other grassroots supporters who believe in her and
who believe in this fight.

a time. Can you click here right now to chip in whatever you can to show
Summer we've got her back? Let's make this happen for her today!
Summer understands that true political power is rooted in collective
action. During this interview, she passionately reminded us:
"We didn't get the Civil Rights Act because Lyndon Johnson saw the light.
No, we didn't get the Voting Rights Act because Democrats, Republicans, or
whoever came to the table on their own. We got that because of movements
from the outside. We got that because of an empowered electorate who
organized—organized financially, with their labor, organized with their
time, organized with their vision. We need that right now more than ever."
And when establishment Democrats stepped back from difficult fights,
Summer stood her ground, saying clearly and boldly:
“This signals to the American people that Democrats won’t fight for them.
We must leverage our votes to protect social services, to invest in our
communities. Otherwise, Republicans will keep running us over.”
This moment demands strong, fearless leaders like Summer Lee, who never
back down from a fight and always stand shoulder to shoulder with everyday
people. She is exactly the voice we need in Congress—but she can't do it
without you today!
