John, Sorry to bump this — but we really didn’t want you to miss it.
Trump’s MAGA allies are coming for our culture, our speech, and our history. They’re banning books, demonizing teachers, and trying to weaken the Library of Congress itself.
This fight goes way beyond Congress. They want to control what we read, learn, say, and believe — and they’re starting locally.
That’s why we reopened our 2025 Priorities Survey — but only until midnight tonight.
We noticed you haven’t responded yet, and we need your voice. |
|
Your input will directly shape how we fight back: the candidates we recruit, the seats we target, and the issues we lead on.
This isn’t just about strategy. It’s about survival.
Thanks again for being in the fight. Let’s build forward — together.
— Ronnette A. Cox

Hi, John. I’m Ronnette, Run for Something’s new Digital Communications Director — and I’ve got a quick but critical favor to ask.
Trump’s second term is a full-on assault on our rights. We’re seeing it all:
Attempted destruction of medicaid.
Abortion bans.
Anti-LGBTQIA+ attacks.
Mass deportation plans.
Book bans and censorship.
Efforts to gut cultural institutions like the Library of Congress.
Coordinated attacks on free speech, public libraries, and the truth itself. This isn’t just political — it’s personal.
At Run for Something, we believe the fight starts local. That’s why we’re going hard in 2025: recruiting, training, and electing a new wave of progressive leaders who’ll defend our freedoms at every level — from school boards to state legislatures.
But we want to hear from you. Before we finalize our 2025 priorities, we need your voice. |
|
We’re counting on 250 supporters to complete this survey before midnight — and we’d love for you to be one of them. Your answers will shape where we focus, who we recruit, and how we fight back.
Thanks for being in it with us. We’re just getting started.
In solidarity,
Ronnette A. Cox |
