Dear John, Once again, people power beats out establishment money. Last night, Ilhan Omar declared victory in the Minnesota primary election! Despite the millions of dollars in opponents’ pockets and racist attacks, Ilhan soared past her opponent, winning by a huge margin.
Over the last couple months, Sunrisers have been on the phone calling voters to help build support for Ilhan. We made almost 100,000 dials in that time. Week after week we see just how effective these person-to-person conversations are in making a difference for our Green New Deal Champions. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Chip in $3 On September 1st, our man Ed Markey is going head to head with a Kennedy who is depending on family money to buy him a win. But we know Ed is a true ally who’s fought for our communities time and time again. His record speaks for itself. Ed has been a champion in the fight against climate change and the pursuit of clean energy, keeping the internet accessible, health care, and more. Voting has already begun, so we have just weeks left to help build as much support as possible. Ed’s strong policy record has Kennedy nervous, as it should. He knows that when people look past the flashy family name, Ed’s achievements earn people’s trust in a way that’s hard to outshine. Can you give to help us spread awareness of Ed’s fantastic record and his continued commitment to fight for our communities with a Green New Deal? We have less than a month to contact as many people as we can. If you can’t help financially right now, consider donating some of your time. We need more people on the phones, and each phone bank session starts with a simple training to give you all the tools you need to dive in. Sign up here for a phone bank shift to support Markey as we approach election day. This is the final stretch. Let’s finish strong. Sophia |
