Hi friend,

I’m Mike Espy, former Representative of Mississippi’s 2nd congressional district, the first Black person from the deep south to serve as the United States Secretary of Agriculture, and a big fan of Groundwork Project.

When I ran for Senate in 2018 and again in 2020, I knew it would be a hard road. My state has suffered under GOP control for decades — with roll backs of voting rights, reproductive health care, and support for working families.

But Mississippians aren’t giving up. We know we deserve better than the leadership we’ve been given. That’s why Groundwork Project is so important.

Support Groundwork Project’s next phase by giving here, before their end of quarter deadline tomorrow night.

CONTRIBUTE

When I think of Mississippi I think of magnolias in bloom, our rich civil rights history, and the genuine warmth from my neighbors that northerners call “southern charm.” I think of the cultural contributions that Jackson — a city whose population is 70% Black folks — has given America like bluegrass music, rock and roll, and the rhythm and blues festival.

That is the Mississippi I know and love. Mississippians deserve leaders as compassionate, fearless, and innovative as they are. And those leaders deserve national support.

Groundwork Project is one of the only organizations out there solely focused on doing the necessary, long-term work of building a lasting political infrastructure to build power and alleviate harm caused by GOP policies in places that have been traditionally written off. Before the end of quarter deadline tomorrow night, Groundwork Project needs to raise $75,000.

They still have $52,979 to go — can I count on you to give $33 right now to help close the gap?

CONTRIBUTE

Red states cannot flip blue overnight, but with sustained resources to the many incredible organizers who have been working in Mississippi for decades, change is possible.

Thank you,
Mike Espy
