It’s Father’s Day today, yet this Father’s Day is different, John.

Our country is in the middle of a racial reckoning. A multiracial multi-generational movement has formed to protest the murders George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and demand not just police accountability and criminal justice reform, but also an end to white supremacy and structural racism built into all American institutions.

DFA members have been joining Juneteenth events all weekend, and now, this Tuesday, we can advance the cause of change another step by electing two powerful men of color as the Democratic nominees in Kentucky and New York:

School teacher and principal Jamaal Bowmen
running for U.S. House of Representatives
against a 30-year incumbent corporate Democrat

KY State Senator Charles Booker
running for U.S. Senate and the right to
take on Mitch McConnell in November

To win, we have to Get Out The Vote -- and that’s where you come in.

Tonight, at 8pm Eastern, Bernie Sanders will join the Sunrise Movement, Working Families Party and DFA in hosting Charles Booker and Jamaal Bowmen for the final GOTV kick-off zoom call on this historic weekend of action. Learn more about the candidates, hear an emergency update on their campaigns, and find out how you can help put them over the top in the final stretch. RSVP NOW!

Booker and Bowmen have the endorsements of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because they know these progressive men of color will be some of the most powerful champions for the Green New Deal and for racial and economic justice we’ve ever had in Washington.

A month ago, their opponents and the establishment wrote off Charles and Jamaal, but now polls are showing them each in a neck-and-neck race. Their opponents and corporate donors are running scared and flooding the airwaves with millions of dollars in racist attack ads to try to slow down their momentum.

Charles and Jamaal rose as contenders through grassroots campaigning -- everyday people making calls to voters or chipping in a couple bucks -- and that’s the way we’re going to overcome this onslaught of last minute attacks and send these visionary leaders to Congress.

TONIGHT!!! RSVP NOW!
Sunrise Movement organizers on the ground will join Bernie, Charles, Jamaal, and Nelini Stamp with the Working Families Party for this online urgent campaign update and GOTV action. This is our chance help in the final stretch.

George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks don’t get to spend this Father’s Day with their children. That right was taken from them by a system built on and dominated by white supremacy and structural racism.

We’re working to change it using every pressure point possible, from rallies and demonstrations to petitions and calls to candidates and elections.

The energy this weekend has been powerful. The movement is building. And we must work to keep that energy rolling through Tuesday in support of these phenomenal candidates over the crucial final days of their primary campaigns.

Change is coming as long as we don’t stop fighting for it.

I look forward to seeing you on the call tonight!
