Hi John,
This headline got our attention in a big way:
If you're not familiar with the Oath Keepers, they are a violent, anti-government extremist group that was heavily involved in the January 6th insurrection. Exactly the kind of people you DON'T want in elected office.
According to new reporting from leaked documents, these officials range from state senators to local superintendents. Some of them have even paid for lifetime memberships
-- they've committed to supporting these violent politicians for the rest of their lives.
Here's the good news: Run for Something is committed to recruiting and supporting diverse young progressives to defeat them. All we need is the resources to do it.
Chip in $5 right now, or whatever you can to get the Oath Keepers out of office and replace them with diverse young progressives.

This isn't the first violent, far-right group we've seen extend its efforts to state and local offices. Already we've seen QAnon conspiracy theorists and Proud Boys shift their attention to these races, particularly school boards.
Republicans and the far-right focus on these local races because they know it's where political power begins. And for too long, Democrats have neglected them. NO MORE.
Run for Something is one of the
only national organizations that is dedicated solely to recruiting and electing diverse young progressives running for local office to build sustainable political power for our movement.
Ready to take on this fight? We've got a critical fundraising deadline before the end of the month, and hitting it is essential to making sure we have the resources to keep doing. Pitch in $5 or more right now to help.
Thank you so much for your support!
