Friend,
Together, we’re not only changing the face of politics; we’re changing the way our government represents the people.
With your help, we built our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC to train and support candidates, and give young people the tools to organize in their local communities. And we’re already seeing a major impact.
After our inaugural Campaign School, four of our graduates are running for office this year, including one candidate for Detroit City Clerk, one for the Board of Police Commissioners, and two City Council candidates.
Each of our candidates has the opportunity to positively impact their communities, whether it’s protecting and expanding voting rights in the face of GOP attacks, reimagining what public safety looks like, or impacting everything from water policy to taxes.
And we’re not stopping there! We just finished the first month of our Youth Fellowship program where we’re training young people ages 15-21 to become organizers on issues impacting them and their communities.
Each month, our youth organizers participate in 4 hours of field work. In their first month, they served food to the homeless, worked on political campaigns, volunteered in an urban gardening project, and even began setting up their own direct action: a march raising awareness on gun violence.
If you’re as inspired as I am by our candidates and our youth organizers, chip in $5 to our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC to support and train the next generation of political leaders.

Thank you for being by my side as, together, we fight for a government that represents all of us.
