Dear John,
The last two weeks have made crystal clear the need for leaders that will fight for a world where Black Lives Matter. That’s why we’ve been throwing down so hard for candidates like Jamaal Bowman for NY-16 and Charles Booker for KY.

Today, they received two endorsements that could completely change the game: from Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Can you help us get the word out to voters in these communities by signing up to phone bank? [[link removed]] People need to know about the growing support for Jamaal and Charles, and that there’s a real chance they can win.

These major endorsements are just the latest in a surge of momentum.

Recently, Booker has been endorsed by over 20 Kentucky legislators across the House and Senate, major Kentucky newspaper Lexington Herald, and Matt Jones of KY Sports Radio. If that isn’t enough, former backers of his Trump-supporting opponent are looking to Booker instead for a true progressive leader.

Voters and elected officials in New York are flocking to Bowman as outrage grows around the district’s abandonment by opponent Rep. Engel during COVID and during the protests. The only other major candidate besides Engel dropped out and endorsed Bowman, along with NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer and State Senator Alessandra Biaggi, who’d endorsed Engel earlier in the campaign.

This swell of support could be the turning point in these races, which are now closer than anyone could have imagined.

It will come down to how many people know they have a better option than the absent Engel or the Trump-supporting McGrath. The more people we talk to about Green New Deal champions Bowman and Booker, the better chance they’ll have at securing enough votes to win.

We have only two weeks left until the next election and voters are starting to mail in ballots this weekend—we have to catch them before they do. Can you sign up for a phone bank shift to get the word out? [[link removed]] We’re halfway to our goal of making 250,000 calls and need 500 more people to sign up to get there.

We will give you everything you need, from a quick training on how to use our dialer, to a sample script you can use to guide the conversation. You’ll have the support of fellow Sunrisers on the calls with you and your two hours could help us move dozens of voters.

We can’t let this momentum stop,

Sophia, Sunrise Electoral Coordinator
