Hi John,

To keep us divided, our opponents say the Green New Deal can only win in some parts of the country. They try to divide us with racist dog-whistle politics, say we don't "understand" one another, or that we have nothing in common. This November, we have a chance to prove them wrong.

We are supporting Green New Deal champions from the orchard-filled plains of southwestern Michigan, [[link removed]] to the saltwater bays of the Puget Sound in Washington [[link removed]] .



Jon Hoadley is running for Congress in southwest Michigan because his district has seen the consequences of an oil economy. Kalamazoo, a city in Hoadley's district, experienced the largest inland oil spill in U.S. history in 2011. But Hoadley’s opponent, Fred Upton, has taken well over $2 million from fossil fuel companies since being in office and has failed in every way to transition our economy away from oil.

Jon Hoadley is running on a Green New Deal, and despite being in one of the most conservative areas in Michigan, this race is neck and neck.

Can you join me and other young people to flip a seat from red to blue in the “bible belt” of the Midwest by calling voters in southwest Michigan tomorrow, October 12th? [[link removed]]


Thousands of miles to the West is another battleground for the Green New Deal. Beth Doglio is running for Congress in Washington state on a bold vision for a Green New Deal because her state is on fire. Over 600,000 acres have burned in Washington this past year, putting the urgency of the climate crisis on center stage.

But this fight isn’t anything new for Beth. Before she ever ran for elected office, she stopped seven coal export terminals from being built in Washington. Then as a state legislator, she passed landmark legislation to eliminate fossil fuels from utilities, cut food waste, and increase funding for public transit.

Will you help Beth Doglio, an environmental justice activist who successfully fought off major fossil fuel projects, by calling voters in Washington this Tuesday, October 13th? [[link removed]]

It’s up to us to unite -- rural, urban, and in-between -- and build a country that works for all of us. These two races could become historic examples of the movement for a Green New Deal and provide the next Congress with a mandate for action.

But we won’t win unless you join us. Every call matters.
