BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: TOMORROW, Thursday, at 7pm Eastern, the PCCC is proud to host Attica Scott as our next guest on the PCCC Meet The Candidates Zoom series. RSVP here!
Attica Scott has battled Mitch McConnell in Kentucky for years as an organizer, activist, and state legislator. Now, she is running for a newly open, urban, democratic-leaning congressional seat in 2022 to bring the fight to McConnell in DC.
RSVP here to engage with Attica Scott TOMORROW, Thursday, January 20, at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific.
This event is free, but if you can, please consider donating $3 here to Attica’s 2022 campaign for Congress.
Attica’s personal story is compelling. Lots of folks can relate. She knows hardship. Her mother struggled with addiction and died from an overdose when she was 16. Her father was trapped in the cycle of incarceration. She grew up in poverty and worked at Subway to put herself through college.
She knows the feeling of powerlessness at the hands of corporations. In a recent email to PCCC members, she wrote of walking to the school bus in a neighborhood where the cars were covered in soot from nearby chemical factories. While elected officials ignored concerns about toxic emissions, her uncle -- a veteran and union member -- developed multiple forms of cancers before he died.
Attica’s own life experiences are part of what drives her to fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage, universal childcare, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, ending partisan gerrymandering, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Attica became the first Black woman elected to the Kentucky General Assembly this century by defeating a 34-year incumbent. If elected now, she will be the first person of color and the first Democratic woman Kentucky has sent to Congress - ever!
RSVP here to join us and meet Attica Scott on Zoom Thursday, Jan 20 at 7pm ET.
The event is free, but Attica needs our help to win. If you can, please chip in $3, $5, or $10 bucks here to Attica’s campaign…thank you.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
