John, have you ever felt like you were counted out before you even started?

Growing up as a Black kid in Chicago, I faced this feeling constantly. My birth mother struggled with substance abuse, and because of my humble beginnings, people often underestimated what I could achieve.

But I had my guiding light—my Dad’s words: “All you’ve gotta do is try.”

With those words fueling me, I decided to give back to my community and try to make a positive change in the world

And once I became a community organizer, I was able to live this ideal every day.

Now I’m ready to show up for you in Washington, John. To fight for policy changes that reflect our shared values and dreams.

But to get to Congress, we need to pay for lawn signs, info pamphlets, and town halls—and I won't accept a dollar from dark money to do it.

So I need your help, John. Will you donate $27 today to our campaign? Your donation keeps our lights on and allows us to continue serving our community for another day. >>
