[1]We're electing the next generation of progressive leaders

People For Member,

People For's Next Up Victory Fund has long been supporting progressive
candidates at the state and local level, and in 2020, we knew it was more
important than ever to get progressives elected up and down the ballot. We
had historic wins for our endorsees nationwide, and we can't wait for
these new elected officials to get to work for our country and their
communities!

All of our endorsees are bold progressive champions who will lead the
fight for democracy, equality, justice, and the other core American values
we hold dear. Here are some examples of Next Up candidates this year who
broke glass ceilings and became historic “firsts” with their impressive
wins:

legislatures, win statewide, and run for federal offices in the decades to come.
We have a lot to do in 2021 to help make that happen. Your support made our work
this year - and every year - possible. From all of us at People For, thank you.
