I don’t take this milestone lightly.
Leaders We Deserve just hit a major milestone: 200,000 grassroots donors.
That’s 200,000 people who believe in a future led by young, bold, progressive leaders. 200,000 people who believe in us and our movement.
I don't take this moment lightly, John. I’m filled with gratitude – and I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. It may sound like a cliche at this point, but we truly can’t do this work without you. Everything we do is powered by this team.
Even though we’re raising millions to elect the next generation of badass progressives, we stretch every dollar. When I’m on the road, I crash on friends’ couches whenever I can. We’re trying to be the best stewards of your donations that we can be — because you’re not just donors to us, you’re why we do this.
We’re building a transformational movement. Here’s who’s powering this work:
- More than 11,000 of our donors are teachers.
- 13,000 are retired folks who believe in our vision for the future.
- Thousands more are students, organizers, nurses, community leaders, and working people from every background fighting for the leaders we deserve.
That’s who I’m thinking about when we’re knocking doors in 100-degree heat or staying up until 2AM planning strategy. That’s what keeps me going in this fight.
So if you’ve ever chipped in $5, shared a link, or even just opened one of these emails — thank you. Truly. You all are the backbone of this entire organization.
This work is hard. The odds are steep. But knowing that we have hundreds of thousands of people in this fight with us? That makes all the difference. ❤️
John, if you're ready to stay in the fight, make a $5 contribution now.
