For this month’s edition of The Whiteboard, we’re taking a look at the state of our movement.
John,
Welcome back to The Whiteboard, our monthly newsletter where we show you what Truth to Power endorsed candidates have been up to. We hope you’re having a steady week and are grappling with the fact that October is already halfway over—don’t forget to get your flu shot if you haven’t already!
This month at Truth to Power, we’re thinking a lot about hope. And how important it can be in challenging times. It’s no secret—Democrats have a tough road to 2022. There is virtually no room for error. But that shouldn’t scare us, John. It’s just further proof that we need to double down. And here’s why: We have so many folks in the corner of working people across the US, fighting for us.
We’re organizers, John, and we never turn away from a challenge.

Great to see young people taking action in campaigns and local politics.
Thank you @WestchesterYD for coming out this weekend and knocking doors!

Across our county, volunteers and activists are knocking doors and working to advance the issues that are most closely-held to their communities. People are texting their neighbors, reminding friends to register to vote, and never giving up. Because the things we are fighting for are too important to turn away from: climate change, affordable childcare, a living wage, our right to vote—the list goes on.

High child care costs aren't just unsustainable for families, they're unsustainable for our economy. Parents are leaving the workforce because they can't find affordable care for their kids. I'm fighting to cap child care expenses at 7% of income to help families—and our economy.

As we head into 2022, Truth to Power will continue to support candidates who are committed to the biggest issues of our time—and who are done waiting.

I'm done waiting for GOP politicians to do the right thing. That's why I introduced legislation to expand Medicaid to holdout states. This will cover the 470,000 Georgians who Kemp and the Georgia GOP refuses to provide healthcare to.

The stakes are that high, John, and that’s why we’re asking you today to support our upcoming slate of Truth to Power endorsed candidates, incredible leaders like the folks you see above. These candidates will keep fighting alongside Katie Porter in Congress—we wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important.
We hope that this edition of our Whiteboard has helped you maintain hope. You help us do just that every day!
In gratitude,
The Whiteboard at Truth to Power
