Hi John,
To the Black young progressives considering a run for office,
See Yourself Running: Realities of Running as a Black candidate is here for you.
Black individuals make up 12.4% of the U.S. population, but as of 2020, they made up only 7.6% of all elected officials -- it's time to change that. This year, we want to see more Black representation in our state and local offices. If you're a Black young progressive who cares about your community, this starts with YOU.
Don't miss See Yourself Running: Realities of Running as a Black candidate is coming up on Wednesday, February 23rd at 8:00 p.m. ET. It's time to elect Black young progressives, like you!
If you want to run, Run for Something will support and equip you with everything you need to know in your race to the top.
On Wednesday, we're going to be joined by some superstar Black alums of Run for Something who've already been through the process. They'll share their advice, talk about issues that Black candidates face on the campaign trail, and answer any questions you have about running.
Our alums have so much to share about their experiences running for various local offices as Black candidates. Consider joining their ranks -- Save your spot at See Yourself Running: Realities of Running as a Black candidate.
See you there,
Run for Something
