John,
We usually don’t send messages like this, but this isn’t an ordinary moment.
All across the country, communities are under attack by federal agents operating with impunity and without basic respect for human dignity. This weekend’s events in Minnesota, including the blatant assassination of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents, have sparked widespread outrage, protest, and calls for accountability. Pretti, a frontline health care worker, joins a growing number of people who’ve recently died at the hands of ICE, including Keith Porter Jr., Carlos Roberto Montoya, and Renee Good.

Moments like this force a hard question: Who actually has the power to protect communities and who is failing to do so? The anger, grief, and resistance we’re seeing—from Minneapolis to solidarity events across the country—reflect a growing call for accountability and fundamental change in how power is wielded in our communities.
If this moment is making you think about how to build power and protect communities long-term, you should seriously consider running for office and take the next step. Structural change doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when people with lived experience and a commitment to justice raise their hands to lead.
Your time, energy, and action can make a difference.
We’re with you and we’re thankful to have you on the team.
