Dear Friend,
Octavia Butler once said: “The very act of trying to look ahead to discern possibilities and offer warnings is in itself an act of hope.” We’ve been writing to you for a while now, and we know that you understand that sometimes we get upset. Sometimes the truth is ugly, and we have definitely told you the truth.
Our nation’s history includes more dark days than some would like to admit, but with your help, we know we can make sure that we have fewer dark days ahead. At PowerPAC our progressive values have never shifted. Our ever-present belief is the one thing we will always fight for: equity and justice for ALL. We know that no one group of people is a monolith. No matter where we grew up or where we live, we are nuanced and unique and, in our optimistic view, filled with more hope than fear, more love than hate. Yes, sometimes we get a little pissed off, but sometimes families bicker.
We the people of this country should disagree about many things, because democracy requires that, but this beautiful multiracial nation is one where we all need jobs, we all need better health care, and we all need a planet that will last for all the generations to come. This nation is all of ours. We can’t fix it in silos. Progress is for everyone. Hope is courageous. Join us in our pissed-off optimism that while equity doesn’t exist for everyone yet, someday IT WILL.
Donate today knowing that we can live in UNITED states.
Sincerely, The PowerPAC team |
