When Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joined 50 Republicans last week to oppose 48 Senate Democrats fighting for voting rights, it crystallized a key idea for a lot of people: It isn’t enough to just elect Democrats. It matters which Democrats.

As a state legislator, Summer fought efforts by Republicans in Pennsylvania's state legislature to disenfranchise voters and even impeach judges in the aftermath of Jan 6.

Now, she’s running for an open Democratic congressional seat in Pennsylvania that a more conservative Dem is contesting.

This event is free, but if you’re inspired by Summer, consider chipping in $3 to her campaign.

The Nation reports:

"Summer Lee is on the front lines of the fight to defend the right to vote -- and to give people something to vote for. An outspoken advocate for economic, social, and racial justice, who is campaigning for Congress with endorsements from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Justice Democrats, the Working Families Party, and Democracy for America, the Pennsylvania activist and legislator has earned a reputation for having her finger on the pulse of grassroots voters -- and potential voters."

Many of the issues Summer fights for are personal. Her hometown is riddled with steel and coke processing plants that cause massive pollution and some of the worst air quality in the country. With kids suffering from severe asthma and others diagnosed with cancer, Summer has organized her community against environmental injustices for years.

As a single mom saddled with crippling student loans, Summer is committed to canceling student debt.

Summer is also building the progressive bench. After she crushed a conservative 20-year Dem incumbent to win her state house seat, she started a group to support progressive women, LGBTQ candidates, and candidates of color. ALL of the candidates won their primaries!

She's the first Black woman to represent southwest Pennsylvania in the state legislature. If elected, she will be the first Black congresswoman from Pennsylvania.

RSVP here to meet progressive powerhouse Summer Lee on Zoom TOMORROW, Thursday, January 27 at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific and ask Summer the questions that matter most to you.

This event is free, but if you’re inspired by Summer, we do hope that you’ll consider chipping in $3 to her campaign.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
