John – I need you to take a moment to watch this.

Charles Booker, the first Black Kentuckian nominated for U.S. Senate, is running to replace the lone Senator who stopped a federal anti-lynching law. Now, in a powerful new video, Charles calls on all Americans to confront the pain of our past, and choose healing.

It’s no secret that the United States Senate has become a deeply dysfunctional body. Over the years, we have allowed corporate money and partisan gamesmanship to create a deadlock – where a single man like Rand Paul or Joe Manchin can veto the will of hundreds of millions of Americans.

We have a chance to change that by replacing an obstructionist Republican with a bold, progressive leader like Charles Booker. Will you split a contribution between Brand New Congress and Charles’ historic campaign now?

Two years ago, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd – a modern-day lynching – the Senate was poised to pass the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. But one man, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, stood in the way.

A screenshot of a New York Times headline and portion of an article from June 5, 2020. The headline reads: Frustration and Fury as Rand Paul Holds Up Anti-Lynching Bill in Senate. The text describes what the Emmett Till Antilynching Act will accomplish. The highlighted portion of the text states: “But the private objections of one Republican, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, have succeeded for months in preventing it from becoming law.

This is business as usual for the U.S. Senate, and it isn’t going to change until we start replacing corporate-owned, corrupt, elitist Senators with working class champions like Charles Booker.

Winning a Senate race is not easy. Dark money groups will spend heavily against Charles, smearing his name and misrepresenting his policies. In fact, they’ve already started.

We need to be ready to organize across the commonwealth of Kentucky to outmaneuver Rand Paul’s corrupt donors. That means recruiting more volunteers and staffing up to support his historic campaign – and ALL of our candidates.

Charles’ campaign in 2020 electrified the nation. He built a powerful coalition uniting working people from the hood to the holler. BNC was the first national organization to back his campaign in 2020, and we are ready to finish what we started – but we need you with us every step of the way.

Will you stand with Brand New Congress and Charles to make history in Kentucky?

For justice,
