Hi John,

I know it can feel completely demoralizing to watch Trump and Pence not only lie at these debates but also make the entire process completely unwatchable.

But here's the thing, John, that's exactly what they want from us -- to give up, to write the political process off completely.

Well I've got news for them: Trump and Pence, you failed. In the 12 hours after the first presidential debate, more young people signed up to run for office than in the entire week prior. And after last night's vice presidential debate, still more people decided they wanted to get into public service.

There are diverse young progressives all over the country who are ready to make a change, and we’re here to support them. We just need resources.

John, will you make sure these fired up future candidates have what they need to win? Pitch in $5 or whatever you can -- every bit makes a difference.

The present is bleak, but the future is bright. Just imagine a country 20 years from now with progressive politicians at all levels of government who are willing to listen to science, their constituents, and each other. We have the power to change the conversation.

Can you help make this dream a reality?

Thanks,

Amanda Litman
