When we organize and show up, we win.

Lauren Underwood For Congress

John,

Last week, voters across Illinois and Wisconsin went to the polls — and the results sent a clear message.

In Illinois, municipal elections showed that communities want leaders who will actually fight for them, not billionaires or corporate interests. In Wisconsin, voters protected democracy by electing Judge Susan Crawford to the State Supreme Court, ensuring that fundamental rights — like reproductive freedom and fair elections — stay protected.

These victories remind us that when we organize and show up, we win. They’re proof that even when extreme voices and deep pockets try to drown us out, our votes matter.

But we also know that those same forces — billionaires like Elon Musk and extremist Republicans — aren’t backing down. They’ll spend unlimited money to buy elections and push their agenda. The best way to fight back? Stay engaged, stay organized, and keep building this movement from the ground up.

We can’t stop now. I need your support to keep fighting for policies that lift up working families and protect our rights. Can you chip in today to help me push forward?
