John, if you need something to inspire you today, look no further than Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
Just two years ago, the Luzerne County Council had a 10–1 Republican supermajority. Most political operatives would’ve written it off as unwinnable. But despite the GOP’s grip on a community devastated by abandoned mines, Superfund sites, and unchecked fracking pollution, there was still hope.
We went all in to endorse local leaders brave enough to challenge Big Oil. And in 2023, we helped flip four seats and broke the Republican stranglehold. Suddenly, the Luzerne County Council went from a 10–1 Republican supermajority to a much less powerful 7–4 GOP majority.
Fast forward to today: We've endorsed three climate champions for the Luzerne County Council, and if we can win just two seats, we can flip the council to a pro-environment majority.
JanePAC is proud to stand behind Denise Williams, Dawn Simmons, and Chris Belles for County Council on November 4th. Will you split a donation among all three candidates to help them make history in Luzerne County?
Change takes time, John.
When you get involved in tough races like these, maybe you don't flip the body on your first try. Maybe it takes multiple election cycles, over multiple years. But if you refuse to give up on the communities that need you, if you fight hard to elect climate champions to every possible position of power, eventually your work pays off.
We're going to keep fighting in Luzerne County and in communities just like it all across the country. There's only one way through this moment in our history, and it's to fight like hell.
We're just 12 days away from finishing what we started in 2023. Will you split a donation among Denise Williams, Dawn Simmons, and Chris Belles? Even $25 can go such a long way in these local, below-the-radar races >>>

P.S. I understand there's a heck of a lot happening in the world right now. If a donation today is not possible, that is okay! We need to get the word out about these races online — you can use this social media toolkit to let your friends and family know that they, too, can join the fight for our future by getting involved.
