Friend -

Last night, I stepped off the stage in Cedar Rapids, where a room of Iowans came together—to hear each other, to speak up, to share their stories, and to stand for something bigger than any one of us.

One moment that stayed with me: I spoke with a veteran who now serves others at the VA. He told me about staffing cuts, wait times, and the fear that these actions could stand between service members and the care they urgently need—care that can be the difference between life and death.

This is why these conversations matter. And we need to show up everywhere to have them.

If you want to help us bring more conversations like this to communities across the country, please chip in whatever you can: [[link removed]]

Chip in [[link removed]]Friend, here’s the thing: even in this difficult and divided moment for our country, people are prepared to show up .

They show up with energy and hope. I once heard it said that hope is the consequence of action, not its cause. That feels especially true now.

And in this season of American life, when Donald Trump is once again threatening to drag our democracy backwards, we cannot afford to sit still.

That’s why I came to Iowa. Conversations like this —whether in packed gymnasiums, small community rooms, or one-on-one across the kitchen table—will help lead the way out of this moment. I know that a better future is within reach. But it’s up to us to make it a reality.

If you’re ready to keep this momentum going—and want to help us bring more of these town halls, more of this kind of conversation, to communities across the country—I’d be grateful if you could chip in whatever you can below. [[link removed]]
