John,
This is a volatile moment in our country right now, and many of you are focused on a lot more than a Congressional campaign. We stand alongside concerned citizens who are joining together in Phoenix and around the country. And I'll be honest: my heart wept for America last night when peaceful protestors in our nation's capital were dispersed by tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades. It's okay -- and justified -- to be angry and confused right now. (And if you feel you need a break from campaign updates, I understand! You can sign up to receive fewer emails from us here.)
On Saturday night, I wrote to you about the need to listen with empathy to those who have experienced the struggle of race firsthand, and to let them lead us in the difficult but important work ahead. I know so many of you are passionate about helping where you can, so here are a few organizations that you can support to advance the cause of racial justice:
We must turn our anger into action. Let’s commit to working together until our nation lives up to its highest ideal: all people are created equal. We won’t rest until there is lasting peace, equality, and justice -- for all.
Take good care and be safe.
Sincerely,
Hiral
