It has been the best news of the week—at least for us—and we’ve been shouting it far and wide, but we’ll repeat it again: WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT! [[link removed]] Ghida Dagher is a refugee, New American, and public servant who first took one of our trainings in 2015 and then became one of our trainers and coaches. Now, we are thrilled to announce that she is the next President of New American Leaders and New American Leaders Action Fund! Please join us in welcoming and congratulating Ghida, whose first day as our new fearless leader is on Tuesday!

Despite months of organizing and thousands of calls, on Wednesday, 666 new laws went into effect [[link removed]] in Texas, many of which directly harm our communities. They include a ban on voters from registering to vote using a post office box as their address, a ban on abortions as early as 6 weeks (which was just upheld by the Supreme Court), permitless gun carry, and limits on the discussion of systemic racism in schools.
Remember: In order to stop these kinds of laws, we must change our lawmakers. That means electing new leaders who will fight back against these attacks on our democracy, health, and civil rights and work to create a government that is of, for, and by the people.

And Updates

Our second biggest news of the week is that Ready to Win [[link removed]] —our advanced, two-track campaign training for candidates and women campaign leaders—will now take place online over two consecutive weekends in November!
Check out the details—we'd love to see you (or someone you know!) in one of our tracks:
*
Candidate
Fellowship
NAL selects New Americans with a high potential to run for office within two years to attend the New American Candidate Fellowship. The Candidate Fellowship kicks off virtually at Ready to Win in November and ends in March 2022. The Candidate Track at Ready to Win provides media training, the opportunity to receive stump speech feedback, and strategies on how to best message to and connect with voters. This track also dives into fundraising and call time, preparing future candidates to make successful asks and determining their fundraising network.
*
Campaign
Leadership
Track
(for
women
only)
Ready to Win has designed a unique track to prepare the next generation of women campaign leaders by diving into team management, identifying and engaging New American communities, and strategies to keep volunteers and supporters engaged. You will learn about finance rules and compliance as well as field and fundraising strategies to help your candidate win. Ready to Win will also offer you the opportunity to step into a career in campaign management with the right skills and network.
Apply for either our Candidate Fellowship [[link removed]] or the Campaign Leadership Track [[link removed]] by October 11, 2021 (or tell someone you think should take the training to apply)!
