John, this is
what we are running against in this race. This is why we need to stand up
to right-wing extremism. Last month, I debated Josh Mandel for the second
time and things got nasty.
During last month’s debate, Josh Mandel:
* Said I’m “dumber than AOC.”
* Called me “angry” multiple times during the debate.
* Characterized Black Lives Matter activists as “thugs.”
I refuse to be characterized as an “angry black woman” for fighting for
what’s right. I’m more motivated than ever to run this race for the
people.
[ [link removed] ]We’re in an uphill battle against extremely racist and sexist rhetoric
from opponents who will do whatever they can to discredit me and our
campaign. We’re less than 55 days away from the primary. Can you help me
fight back by donating $5 or anything you can right now?
Right now, we’re just five days away from our critical mid-month
fundraising deadline. This is so important because this end-of-month is
also our last FEC-deadline before the primary election.
The numbers we produce at the end of March are the last chance we have to
show the strength of our movement before election day and prevent a bigot
like Josh Mandel from winning this seat.
It’s UNACCEPTABLE that in 2022, Black women like me still have to face
these racist and sexist comments when we speak up, but what’s even more
unfortunate is that this isn’t anything unique.
People like Josh Mandel have told Black women what we should do and what
we should say for too long! I’m sick of my fellow Black women and girls
having to endure this narrative and not having the space or opportunity to
fight back.
Josh Mandel’s comments are an example of the insidious racial stereotypes
thrown at Black women every day and I won’t stand for it.
They say we’re too loud, too angry, too much. People like Josh Mandel
don’t want people who look like me to take up space. But I refuse to be
silenced. I’m passionate about creating a better Ohio and a better world —
and I’m not going to slow down now.
[ [link removed] ]Can you help power our campaign today by donating $5
before March 15th? Black women candidates raise on average half of what
white candidates raise, so it’s critical that our grassroots campaign has
a steady stream of donations before the primary election.
[ [link removed] ]Contribute $5
We’ve NEVER elected a Black woman from Ohio to the U.S. Senate. I won’t
stop until we change that,
John. And I refuse to let someone like Josh
Mandel stand in the way.
Thank you for your time and support,
Morgan
