Some Proud Boys Are Moving To Local Politics As Scrutiny Of Far-Right Group Ramps Up

"Proud Boys Chairman... envisions his organization focusing on local political races rather than national ones."

We need to do our part to stop them -- if you can, chip in $5 to prepare and empower diverse, young progressive candidates for the fights ahead.

Hi John,

We've got trouble.

In this post-Trump era, far-right extremists are no longer worried about being rejected from mainstream politics. Empowered by Trump's dangerous, hateful, and unpunished actions -- they're running for state and local office.

The chairman of the Proud Boys is openly calling on members of the bigoted extremists to run for local office and build political power from the local level up. It's an effective strategy -- we know because Run for Something does the exact same thing.

But used by a group as malevolent as the Proud Boys, it threatens the very existence of our democracy.

Unless Run for Something continues standing in their way, John. We've got the organizational infrastructure, grassroots donors and volunteers, and tens of thousands of diverse, young progressive candidates thinking about running for state and local office.

If we're going to prevent these neo-fascists -- the very people who violently attacked our nation's Capitol, prepared to kill elected officials -- from winning power, we'll need to work together and fight like hell.

This is our fight. If you're ready to stop groups like the Proud Boys from winning institutional power, chip in $5 to help recruit, train, support, and elect diverse, young progressives to state and local office.
