John, this is David Hogg, co-founder of Leaders We Deserve. We
have some big news to share:
Leaders We Deserve is launching a $20 million investment to usher in the
next generation of Democrats who will go to the mat every day for the
American people and use every tactic and tool to stop Trump’s radical
right-wing, economically illiterate agenda.
[ [link removed] ]Will you split a donation between Leaders We Deserve and the
Progressive Change Campaign Committee to help us primary out-of-touch,
ineffective Democrats and rebuild the party with the next generation of
leaders?
Today’s party politics has an unwritten rule on both sides: If you win a
seat, it’s yours for life. No one serious in your party will challenge
you. That is a culture that we have to break.
And while we need to continue to pressure our current leaders to do more,
part of the pathway forward requires us to start mounting primary
challenges to Democrats in solidly blue districts who are failing to
deliver for the people.
Too many elected leaders in the Democratic Party are either unwilling or
unable to meet the moment and are asleep at the wheel while Trump is
demolishing the economy, challenging the foundations of our democracy, and
creating new existential crises for our country by the day.
Younger leaders simply bring a different level of urgency that we just
aren’t seeing in our politics right now. We grew up with the existential
threat of climate change bearing down on us. Adolescence today means
active shooter drills and wondering if you’re going to survive math class.
And we are told every election is the most important of our lifetime –
that we must protect democracy at all costs – all while democracy
continues to fail us.
It’s not because democracy can’t work, but because our politicians have
failed to make it work for the people, and instead made it work for the
special interests destroying our future.
We can do something about it, John. We can ensure that
Democrats are fighting for us – or we can replace them with younger
leaders who will.

power this game-changing fight?

Like so many, I care deeply about this party. I want this party to be
strong. It’s personal to me. When my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s
almost 15 years ago, the only reason my family stayed afloat was Social
Security. And the only reason we were able to get Social Security was
because the Democratic Party fought for it.
With all its flaws, the Democratic Party has played a critical role for
progress in this country. Revitalizing and rebuilding it is important
work. This party is worth fighting for, and not just for the sake of
opposing Trump. What that looks like right now is electing younger leaders
who have the energy, passion, and vision to meet this moment with the
urgency our country deserves.
Through all of this, some incumbents will rise to the challenge and emerge
stronger. Others will demonstrate why they should be replaced.
Either way, we all win.
