John,

When we started to put together our electoral and organizing plan for this election, we knew that the results would shape political possibilities for the next twenty years.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, continuing to upend every aspect of our lives and our work.

Then, a movement started taking to the streets in response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and too many others — and demanding that we radically rethink how much we're investing in police and how little we're investing in our communities.

And now it's clear that the rage and mourning we've seen in the streets is making itself felt in elections, too — just look at what happened in NY-16, where WFP's Jamaal Bowman defied the odds and won.

If it feels like everything is at stake right now, that's because it is. Now is the time to go even bigger, and keep growing our multiracial, working-class, progressive movement to defeat Trump and win the systemic change we need.

This is your movement. Become an official member of the Working Families Party today at just $10 a month and join us for the long haul in the fight for progressive power at every level of government. We're building a party accountable to the people — not corporations — and sustained investments from our members are critical to helping us build a political home for the many, not the few:

In election after election, we have seen a two-party system cast our problems aside and work furiously for the billionaire class. But there's another way.

As an official member of the Working Families Party, you believe in a movement that is not only comfortable talking about real solutions to the problems poor and working people face, but fighting for them each and every day.

You believe in a movement that values economic fairness and racial and gender equity not just as things that would be nice to have, but as non-negotiable elements in our political system.

And you believe in a movement that puts it all on the line to elect candidates like Jamaal Bowman, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Kendra Brooks, and hundreds more who believe the same.

The conventional wisdom among much of the political establishment is half-measures and corporate politics are the safe path to electoral victory. We believe that's wrong. People are looking for ambitious solutions that meet the scale of this moment. If we're able to prove that this year, it will help create a seismic shift in how politicians at every level think about running for every office.

Individual members who chip in $10 a month are one of the most important funding streams we count on to power our work. Join us as an official member of the Working Families Party today.
