Mississippi's abortion ban, Congress must immediately abolish the
filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade.

Have you noticed progressives keep running against each other and
splitting the vote? The presidential primary, obviously -- but also
Virginia Governor and even New York Mayor! Progressives keep losing
winnable races.

It was about to happen again in a key 2022 U.S. Senate seat in North
Carolina -- where two prominent African American female leaders were set
to run against each other.

But something big just happened. A Democrat in Congress retired, and bold
progressive state legislator Erica Smith decided to run for that office
instead -- making her the instant frontrunner.

She's spent her life fighting for small communities and farmers -- while
challenging CEOs, Wall Street bankers, and corrupt politicians. She is
running in the area she grew up in and represented for years. And she
excites people!

[ [link removed] ]WE PROUDLY ENDORSE ERICA SMITH in North Carolina's 2nd congressional
district. Can you chip in $2 to here campaign today -- to add her vibrant
voice to Congress?

Erica will fight for higher wages, more rural hospitals, and expanding
rural broadband -- and she is not taking corporate PAC or fossil fuel
money. She will fight back against corporate monopolies that have hollowed
out the communities in her district. So in order to win, she needs support
from you, John.

Our endorsement of Erica Smith is part of our drive to elect a diverse
slate of progressive candidates around the nation. With this endorsement,
Erica joins Summer Lee (PA-18), Attica Scott (KY-03), Tom Winter (MT-01),
Brittany Ramos Debarros (NY-11), and Jessica Cisneros (TX-28). Five of the
six 2022 House candidates we've endorsed this year are women of color.

In light of yesterday's Supreme Court hearing on a draconian Mississippi
abortion law, Erica Smith's support for abortion rights cannot go
unmentioned. Barriers to care disproportionately harm Black, Indigenous,
Latinx, and other people of color; those working to make ends meet;
immigrants; young people; those living in rural communities; and people
with disabilities.

As the Supreme Court hearing ended yesterday, Erica said on Twitter "If
SCOTUS upholds Mississippi's abortion ban, Congress must immediately
abolish the filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade."

Our endorsement of Erica is also about the fact that building back better
should not be this hard.

This fall, a handful of corporate-aligned holdout House Democrats blocked
the widely popular Build Back Better legislation which expands child care,
ushers in universal pre-k, combats climate change, lowers the cost of
prescription drugs and health care, and extends the child tax credit --
paid for by taxing corporations and ultra-wealthy individuals who have
avoided taxation. During the delay, Democrats lost the governorship in
Virginia and significantly underperformed in New Jersey.

We need elected officials like Erica who will fight for everyday
Americans, not obstruct popular legislation on behalf of corporate
interests.
