John,
We wanted to send a quick follow-up to our endorsement of Graham Platner's campaign for Maine Senate.
TOMORROW, WFP and our friends at Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) are hosting a virtual roundtable Q&A with Graham. And we want to see you there!
We'll be discussing how his combat deployments in the Middle East have shaped his anti-war politics, how to effectively combat the alt-right pipeline, and how we can continue to build a multi-racial working class movement that has the power to take on Trump and his MAGA billionaires.
This is a chance to cut through the noise and hear from the candidate himself. If you want to join, just RSVP here! The event is from 5:45 to 6:45pm ET.

If you can’t make the event but still want to get involved, please consider splitting a donation between WFP and Graham Platner’s campaign for Maine Senate. Susan Collins has the backing of Trump, MAGA, and all their crypto billionaires — it’s going to take all of us to defeat her.
And in case you missed it, make sure to keep reading to see our full endorsement!
In solidarity,
Team WFP

Subject: Why we’re endorsing Graham Platner, and what you can do to help us win
John,
If we’re going to defeat Trumpism, we need to take back as much power from Republicans in Congress as we can.
That means unseating vulnerable incumbents like Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), who has helped Trump give away billions to big corporations, and stood by as he’s started a disastrous war, allowed ICE to run rampant in our communities, and caused prices to skyrocket for working families.
This year, we have a chance to flip a key Republican Senate seat by electing a working families champion who will meet this moment with the same courage that working people have shown across the country.
That’s why we are proud to endorse Graham Platner in Maine today — and why we’re asking for your support to help elect a working families champion to the United States Senate.
If you’re in, please use this link to split a donation with Graham Platner’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine. The way we will put an end to Republican majorities in Congress is by electing leaders who will put working people — not the ultra wealthy — first.

For the last year, Donald Trump and his MAGA enablers in Congress have been driving our nation to the brink:
-
$35 billion (and counting) wasted on a disastrous war with Iran,1
-
ICE thugs running rampant in our streets, airports, and schools,
-
Inflation and gas prices skyrocketing while they cut our healthcare,
-
All this while billionaires are getting richer and are allowed to break our laws with impunity.
But look a little deeper, and you can see the tide is turning.
Working people are seeing that the game is rigged against them by billionaires and the politicians on both sides of the aisle who they bought. They’re courageously standing up to protect their neighbors in community after community.
Yet too many corporate Democrats are not meeting this moment. Instead of standing in solidarity with the rest of us, they’re offering the old corporate status quo.
Graham Platner is anything but the status quo.
He is a combat veteran, oysterman, and true fighter for working people.
He’s the only candidate in this must-win Senate race fighting for a bold, affordability focused platform that puts working people’s needs first, including:
-
Banning billionaires from buying elections,
-
Guaranteeing healthcare through Medicare for All
Breaking up the monopolies destroying small businesses,
-
Stopping the mass deportation machine and protecting families from ICE,
-
Defending Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
That’s why he’s been endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and grassroots organizations and labor unions across the state. And it’s why his agenda has been inspiring people across the entire country.
Winning power for working people takes courage and conviction. And it’s already putting a target on his back from the corporate political establishment. But that’s what this moment demands.
If you’re in, split a donation today between Graham Platner’s Senate campaign and the Working Families Party. This seat is pivotal to winning the Senate back from the authoritarian right — and the way we are going to win is by electing leaders who are showing the same fight that working people do every day.
