John,

Thanks to your help, we’re doing the work to elect trailblazers, shatter glass ceilings, and address the unique challenges that communities are facing in every corner of the country.
|
|
Can you rush a contribution before tonight’s deadline so we can continue to do this important work?

With over 1,000 alums elected to and serving in office, we’ve seen so many firsts, including:
-
In New Mexico, Shammara Henderson was elected as the first Black appellate judge in the state.
-
In Arizona, Gabriella Cazares-Kelly was the first Tohono O'odham woman to win a county-wide election in Pima County.
-
In South Carolina, Kristin Graziano made history as the first LGBTQ+ person and the first woman elected sheriff in the state.
-
In Arkansas, April Legere became the first woman of color elected to the Rogers City Council.
-
In California, Cristine Soto DeBerry will be the first woman of color elected to the Southern Marin Fire District and the only woman of color serving at this level or higher in Marin County.
-
In Georgia, Nicole Love Hendrickson became the first Black woman elected Chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.

What if I told you that a contribution of $15 could make the difference in whether or not we can continue to break barriers across the country? Would you rush a contribution to continue to help us elect more ‘firsts’?
|
|
In just three days we’re facing our most important deadline of the year that will dictate exactly how much we can invest in our programs and alums.
|
|
Can you contribute today and help us continue to shatter the status quo?
|
|
|
|
The best part of winning these races is that we are fundamentally shifting the expectations around who can run — and win — as we elect leaders that truly represent their communities.
|
|
For instance, if we continue investing across the South, we can change the trajectory of leadership forever.
|
|
None of this work is possible without you. With less than 72 hours left before this critical deadline, can you rush a contribution now?
