As we head into the final days of November, I want to be transparent about where things stand.
This month, the CBC has been working around the clock to confront the far-right’s attacks on civil rights enforcement, diversity programs, and the economic protections families depend on.
Inside Congress, the fights are only growing sharper, and the work ahead will demand every bit of strength we can bring into the new year.
But the week of Thanksgiving is always one of the hardest moments for grassroots campaigns. People travel, inboxes fill up, and donations slow to a crawl.
If we can close November strong, we’ll enter December with the stability we need to protect our progress and continue pushing back against the extremism shaping the House right now.
Thank you for supporting me, especially in weeks like this.
With Gratitude,
Yvette D. Clarke
