It’s not news to Mississippians, especially to Black Mississippians, that this state is too often overlooked. For decades, Mississippi’s Republican leaders in Washington have sided with gigantic corporations and left working families out in the cold.

But Mississippi is changing, and people across the state are making their voices heard in big ways. Over the last few months, young, Black activists organized thousands to make their voices heard in peaceful protests against police violence. And it was their energy that pushed Mississippi leaders to finally take down the old Confederate state flag.

A brighter future is possible if we fight for it. And there's one person running to represent Mississippi in the Senate who recognizes and welcomes that change — and that person is my friend, Mike Espy.

Mike is a real fighter — a champion for working families who will be a terrific voice for Mississippians in the Senate. I endorsed him when he last ran for this Senate seat in the 2018 special election, and I’m proud to once again stand with him in 2020.

If you’re in a place to do so, will you pitch in $10 or more to Mike Espy’s grassroots campaign today? He’s up against his last end-of-month fundraising deadline on October 31, and this campaign is powered by grassroots donors.

Let’s be clear: Mike is exactly the kind of hopeful, hard-working, and dedicated public servant that we need more of in the Senate. He will fight his heart out for Mississippi.

Mike has spent his career fighting for working families, throughout his time serving Mississippi as a congressman, to becoming the first Black U.S. Department of Agriculture secretary in U.S. history. Mike is ready to fight for each and every Mississippian. He’ll fight to expand affordable health care, broadband, and quality public education.

By supporting Mike, not only can we help flip the four seats needed to take back the Senate: We can make history by electing the first Black senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction – representation that is long overdue.

When we fight, we win, so let’s fight to elect the leader Mississippi deserves this November: Make a contribution of $10 or whatever you can to fuel this grassroots campaign and help make Mike Espy the next U.S. Senator from Mississippi.

If we dream big and fight hard, we can win this powerfully important race and create big, structural change in Mississippi.

Thanks for being a part of this,
