A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

PFAW Member,

PFAW’s Next Up Victory Fund is once again supporting hundreds of amazing
young, diverse progressives running for office at the state and local
level nationwide … to build a deep bench of winning progressive
officeholders and real progressive power from the ground up.

I’m writing today to tell you about an especially exciting slate of more
than 100 of our candidates whose bids for office are driven, at least in
part, by the urgency to find real solutions to decriminalize communities
of color and STOP America’s other pandemic: police killings.  

Some of our endorsed candidates are in particularly competitive races and
your assistance could make all the difference.

We’re asking that you [ [link removed] ]support these 8 candidates for state and local
office, who are all running in extremely tight races that we’ve identified
as particularly high impact in the movement to stop police killings:

* Whitney Walker, candidate for Maricopa County, Arizona Board of
Supervisors District 3

* Jevin Hodge, candidate for Maricopa County, Arizona Board of
Supervisors District 1

* David Ortiz, candidate for Colorado State House District 38

* Franccesca Cesti-Browne, candidate for Florida State House District
115

* Nakita Hemingway, candidate for Georgia State House District 104

* Brittney Rodas, candidate for Pennsylvania State House District 105

* Brian Rowland, candidate for Mayor of Prairie View, Texas

* Tamara Shewmake, candidate for Portsmouth, Virginia City Council

All 8 of these candidates need help urgently. While we’re asking that you
chip in any amount you can to help them on ActBlue right now, we also ask
that you consider a contribution of $5.75 per candidate, for a total of
$46.

8 candidates. $46 dollars.

For the 8 minutes and 46 seconds that former Minneapolis police officer
Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into the neck of George Floyd when he
murdered him on May 25, 2020.

[ [link removed] ]Please chip in $5.75, or any amount you can, to each of these
incredible progressive candidates on the front lines of the movement to
protect Black lives and stop police killings>>

Millions of Americans have taken to the streets to protest the tragic
killings of Black Americans like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and
demand justice. Our voices matter and peaceful protest matters. But so do
elections.

Justice will only come from real change, and real change will only come
when we have elected leaders who are brave enough and committed enough to
prioritize that change.

These races are all vitally important in achieving the goals that so many
of us have marched for… for realizing the value and sanctity of Black and
Brown lives, and making our country live up to that core American value of
equal justice.

[ [link removed] ]Please give $5.75 each, or any amount you can, to these 8 candidates on
ActBlue now>>

Thanks for everything you’re doing in our shared fight for justice,
equality, and the American Way.

-- Ben Jealous, President
