John,

A huge source of hope and progressive power is local governments that have
transformative leaders fighting tirelessly for racial and economic
justice.

Two of these leaders are Tameika Isaac Devine and Sharetta Smith --
progressive Black women who DFA has endorsed for mayor in key elections
this year. DFA members have already shown this year that we can transform
our cities into progressive strongholds when they helped elect Tishaura
Jones as Mayor of St. Louis.

We can raise the minimum wage, protect immigrants and refugees, hold
violent police departments accountable, and break the school-to-prison
pipeline. We can stop corporate tax giveaways and instead invest in public
services so that all families can thrive.

Tameika Isaac Devine in Columbia, South Carolina, and Sharetta Smith in
Lima, Ohio both have elections this Tuesday. Can you volunteer for their
mayoral campaigns between now and election day to help send these rock
stars to City Hall?

Tameika Isaac Devine, running for Mayor of Columbia, South Carolina has
been a city council member for nearly two decades and is a powerhouse
progressive running against a Republican candidate spreading lies about
polling locations. Since 2002, Tameika has led numerous initiatives
including establishing a nationally recognized homeless court and serving
as co-chair of a Work Initiative Program that trains unemployed and
underemployed people in workforce skills.

Sharetta Smith, running for Mayor of Lima, Ohio is a true progressive
leader who is fighting hard for our values. With over a decade of
experience working in the judicial and executive branches of local
government beginning with her service as an Assistant District Public
Defender and most recently as Chief of Staff for the City of Lima under
Lima Mayor David Berger, Sharetta has worked tirelessly to build trust
between community leaders and City Hall.

Local officials are key to progressive power. They often get less
attention from reporters and pundits but these elected offices are more
important than ever. They can make changes in people's lives right away
and truly represent their interests.

Can you help GOTV for Sharetta and Tameika before Tuesday?

mayoral elections.
