Truth to Power PAC

John,

It doesn’t take a whiteboard to demonstrate that we have a tough political year ahead. In a traditionally competitive district, Katie Porter’s campaign is hard at work building a program to re-elect a champion who will take on big fights in Congress.

All across the country, brave Democrats are gearing up for similar battles.

We’re here to help build smart strategies to help strong progressives win tough campaigns. This week, we tried a new way of reaching you—we’re calling it The Whiteboard, and it will be our occasional update on happenings within the Truth to Power movement.

John, to continue building this effort and trying new tactics, we need your help to meet our mid-month fundraising goals. Time is flying, and today marks our halfway point through August. If you enjoyed our updates this week, will you make a contribution to our movement?

If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution between instantly:

Every dollar will go towards supporting a slate of progresive candidates who will take the 2022 cycle by storm. Thanks for being a part of it.

Onward,

Truth to Power HQ

From: The Whiteboard at Truth to Power
Subject: Survey: Our first Whiteboard update
Date: Thursday, June 12th, 2021

Welcome to the Whiteboard, John.

The Whiteboard is your regular dose of what’s happening across the Truth to Power movement—from what our 2020 endorsed candidates are up to in Congress to what our 2022 endorsed candidates are fighting for on the campaign trail. Our call to action is to enable Truth Tellers to share their story and contribute to the movement. You won’t want to miss it.

So without further ado, here’s what our Truth to Power alumni have been up to:


On Monday, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report calling for swift and immediate action on climate across nations. The report confirms what we already know: Climate change is here, and it will require a transformative shift in our economy to meet the goals set in the Paris Agreement.

The IPCC report is clear: climate change has already caused irreversible damage.

 

But we can still stop the worst of it. The time to decarbonize our economy is now.


In both climate and infrastructure spending, our nation’s minority communities have been the most consistently harmed and unheard. Representatives like Jamaal Bowman have been fighting hard to ensure that when we’re investing in our future, no voice is excluded. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, sending the critical legislation onward to the House.

We don't work for fossil fuel companies or real estate developers. We work for the American people. So as we undergo the process to pass reconciliation, it should be built to benefit the American people — starting with the most disenfranchised and unheard.


As always, Rep. Katie Porter is leading the charge against corruption and fighting to hold systems accountable across Washington. She’s a true leader, and the reason that Truth to Power is able to fight hard to elect leaders across the country.

Lots of talk about President Trump urging the Justice Department to call the election “corrupt.” Let’s dig into the documents—he says:

 

“statistically, election night it was a done deal”

“statistically impossible for me to lose”

 

Whiteboard says:

 


We’re so excited to launch our first Whiteboard and to have you here with us, John. In each installment, we’ll update you on the most pressing issues and most exciting campaigns, breaking down what our candidates have been up to and what Truth to Power is building as our movement grows.

If you’re able, will you chip in today to help us continue to help Truth to Power fund The Whiteboard and keep up the fight for progress?

Together,

Truth to Power PAC
