John,

Running a congressional campaign as a young, progressive Democrat is hard. Really hard. That's why what Bushra Amiwala is doing in Chicago should be on the radar of Democrats everywhere.

Bushra is a 27-year-old elected official, organizer, and activist, who has been showing up for her community and earning its trust for the past decade. That’s why her movement has gained so much momentum already, making her the frontrunner to be the next Congresswoman for IL-09.

Congressional campaigns operate at a massive scale. Field programs. Digital. Mail. Polling. Communications. None of it is cheap. That is exactly why you don’t see many young Democrats like Bushra even try to run, let alone win.

It’s also why you see so many politicians are seeking arrangements to sell their souls to the highest bidder in return for campaign cash.

But Bushra refuses to sell out (and they’ve tried). While the old guard chases corporate money and special interest checks from their billionaire sugar daddies, Bushra is choosing to raise money directly from the people—$25, $10, and even $5 at a time.

That keeps her independent. That lets Bushra be Bushra. And it allows her to make decisions with only one goal in mind: serving her community.

If you can, please chip in today. $25, $15, or whatever feels meaningful. It goes straight into organizing, outreach, and the other work it takes for Bushra to win this thing the right way, no sugar daddies necessary.
