Yet another refusal to denounce white supremacy. Mocking poor people, Black and Brown people. Insulting those of us who follow the rules and pay our taxes.

We aren’t surprised by the comments made during last night’s debate. We shouldn’t expect such divisive and outrageous statements from someone who should represent ALL of us. But this is the person who has banned diversity training and wants to implement ‘patriotic education’ to whitewash our history. It’s the same guy who, four years ago, worked to actively discourage 3.5 million Black folks from voting. So, no...we aren’t shocked.

We are motivated.

This hate-filled propaganda is EXACTLY why re:power is working to build a future of inclusive politics where every single one of us matters. We do this by:

• Training electoral and issue organizers working for and with progressive candidates and campaigns in cities around the country;
• Identifying progressive leaders, encouraging them to run for office and supporting their campaigns;
• Working with elected officials to make sure they have the resources and skills they need to become powerful and effective leaders.

Help build a future of INCLUSIVE politics. Support re:power with a gift.

Our work is not about any one person or election. Rather, it’s about making sure racism, sexism, and xenophobia are removed from our politics and our society...once and for all.

re:power is honored to play a role in building the infrastructure of the social justice movement. We’ve done so much this year, even with a small staff - we’ve trained over 900 people in just a few short months, equipping them with the tools they need to get out the vote, protect the vote, and ensure our democracy remains. Your support will help us reach even more people. Please consider making a contribution today to support re:power’s ongoing work.

Help build the movement: make a gift today.

Last night’s offensive comments reinforced our belief that America needs a framework of inclusive politics. We need to reimagine and rebuild this entire system from the ground up. Help us reach that goal: make a gift today.
