Hey John,
This is the statement we just released publicly.
We announced the launch of the most ambitious primary program in our history, and on Monday, we’ll roll out our first primary endorsements of 2026.
As Donald Trump and the far right grow more dangerous — and as Chuck Schumer and establishment Democrats keep refusing to stand up to them — Sunrise is stepping up.
This is a turning point.
We have a record number of open seats, powerful challengers ready to run, and a generation of young people who refuse to accept a Democratic Party that rolls over in the face of authoritarianism. As Aru said in the release: “It’s time to clear house.”
In just a few days, we will announce our first 2026 endorsements. We’re excited. But if we’re going to take on the Democratic establishment and win these primaries, we need resources before those endorsements go live.
Your donation today will fuel:
For too long, establishment Democrats have refused to rise to the moment. But 2026 gives us a real shot at electing a new generation of leaders who will take on a broken political system and fight for a livable, affordable future. We’re stepping up to seize that opportunity.
Make a contribution today to help us build the power our candidates will need.
