John,
Back in 2010, the Tea Party flipped American politics on its head. The
far-right seized that moment of economic anxiety and distrust in the
system and used it to build lasting power.
Now, history is rhyming. But this time, it’s progressives who are stepping
up.
And not just any progressives — it’s a new generation of young leaders who
are fed up with the performative politics and empty promises that our
generation has paid the price for. From having to go through school
shooter drills to witnessing the American dream vanish before our eyes,
the reason why so many young people are stepping up to run for office
right now is because our generation has no other choice. If we ever want
even a hope of ridding our government of the special interests that have
screwed us over, we have to get started now.
It’s not just young people though. We see it at the No Kings Rallies and
even through our own supporters — older generations are showing up and
demanding change. They’ve watched so many rights that they fought for in
their youth be completely destroyed by the Trump Administration, while the
best response our Democratic “leaders” can muster are strongly worded
letters or folding when it counts most, like we saw in the Senate last
week.
The Democratic electorate is angry. Not just young people — everyone who’s
sick of seeing billionaires dodge taxes while families drown in debt.
Everyone who’s tired of being told to vote blue no matter who, while
nothing fundamentally changes.
But here’s the twist: Unlike the Tea Party, we’re not trying to burn it
all down. We’re trying to build something better.
Leaders We Deserve is helping build that new movement: a youth-led,
justice-first response to a political system that has been out of touch
for too long. And our work is fueled by everyday people, not corporate
donors or cynical consultants.
So here’s what I’m asking: [ [link removed] ]Can you pitch in $5 to power
our movement?

Right now, we’re recruiting, training, and funding candidates who look
like the future of this country — not its past. Candidates who are not
just younger versions of the corrupt and feckless leaders we have in power
now. But instead are true Democrats who actually fight against special
interests and for the working class.
And while the old guard in DC may roll their eyes at us, the truth is:
They’re the ones who are out of touch.
We’re not here to wait patiently in line. We’re here to take the reins.
And Democrats across the country are cheering us on, because they know
what’s at stake.
But we need your help to ensure we can give these young leaders the
resources to get elected while having so many special interests against
them. We will never be able to rebuild the party of the working class if
we continue to have so many of our leaders funded by the very corporations
that are destroying the working class. To build that party will require a
new generation of Democrats who actually stand up for working people
instead of the corporations funding their campaigns. That’s why we count
on you. Our candidates need grassroots support so they can have the
independence to stand against the special interests that have corrupted
our party and are destroying our country.

back this work?
This isn’t just a political moment. It’s a generational one. Let’s make it
count.
With determination,
David Hogg
