John, Angelita's journey — from experiencing homelessness to becoming a city councilor — shows the power of electing leaders who understand what's at stake.

Run for Something is working around the clock to support and elect more incredible candidates like her. But if we're going to succeed, hitting our $50,000 mid-month goal is a must. Will you rush $5 today?

Angelita Morillo didn't come from wealth or political connections — she came from grassroots organizing, from lived experience, and from fighting for the people too often left behind. That's exactly the kind of leader we need at every level of government — especially on our school boards.

At a moment when immigrant students and teachers are afraid to go to school amid Trump's outrageous mass deportation plan, Angelita's fight for immigrants' rights has never been more important.

That's why we're ramping up our 50 State School Board Strategy — so that we can recruit progressive champions like her who will fearlessly defend our communities and stand up to extremism on school boards in every corner of the country.

But here's the truth: Without early investments in young, bold progressives like Angelita, they'll never get a seat at the table. We need to raise $50,000 ASAP if we're going to make this vision a reality — and we're counting on your help to get there. Will you chip in right now to help ensure candidates like Angelita get a seat at the table?

Thank you for fighting for our future.
