Friend –
Thank you to everyone who was able to turn out (virtually!) to the kickoff of The Collective's "Our Collective Power" speaker series! And thank you to my co-host, Regina King, and our panelists Senator Kamala Harris, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, and St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner for joining us.
Even if you couldn't make it, friend, you can watch our full conversation here ([link removed]). We covered the disparities in our criminal justice system and the ways we can support and elect the next wave of Black leaders who will fight for our communities.
It's important to understand that what we accomplish in the next days, weeks, and months will determine the future of our country. We are on the precipice of a revolutionary shift, but we have to keep up the momentum.
There are a lot of people who will do and spend anything to defeat us and defend the status quo. We need to vote, build grassroots power, and – yes – donate to win big this November. You can help make a difference in our fight right now by chipping in toward our end-of-quarter fundraising goal today. Can I count on you?

When you donate to The Collective, you help build Black political power and increase the representation of the Black community in all levels of government. We will use your generous donation to rush support to Black candidates who are up against the worst of the worst (like Senate candidate Jaime Harrison who is facing Senator Lindsey Graham and his war chest of extreme donors).
We have never been able to win this fight alone. It relies on you, grassroots supporters, who understand we can't have progress without equity in Black political representation. Our voices matter. Our lives matter. And it's up to us to work together to speak truth to power at the ballot box and elect the next Black wave.
I know we can win this fight – with your help. Contribute before our FEC deadline tomorrow to help our team have the resources we need to make history this November.
