Hi John,
As we resist the end of abortion rights, as so-called leaders threaten our democratic institutions and voter suppression runs rampant, electing diverse young progressives to local office could not be more urgent.
Before I give you an update about what we've done, and what we still have to do to hit our goals, I have to ask:
Will you chip in
$5
or more right now to elect diverse young progressives who will fight back? We're still $11,829 short of what we need from grassroots donors before June is over to stay on track.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Now, let's get into it.
What we've done:
- We’ve crushed our annual recruitment goal (yes, by June), with over 27,000 new folks interested in running for office — and over 1,400 of them signed up since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- So far this year, we've endorsed over 400 candidates passionate about making a difference for their communities.
- We've held eight events aimed at getting diverse young progressives interested in running with tips to launch successful campaigns, accompanied by our rockstar alums and progressive leaders.
- We launched Clerk Work — the biggest investment ever in electing pro-democracy candidates to election boards across the country.
What we have left:
- We have primaries coming up in six of our top priority states, then it's all eyes on the November midterms.
- We are still endorsing candidates to add to our November win list to close out our biggest endorsement year ever (Until 2023, that is 👀).
- ALWAYS recruiting tens of thousands more for our pipeline — because this is bigger than just November.
What our candidates need from you:
We've accomplished a TON this year, but we're in it for the long haul. We wouldn't have made it this far without you. Now let's push forward with everything we've got.
Donate
$5
or more to make 2022 the biggest year EVER for electing and recruiting diverse young progressives ready to fight back.
LFG,
Kate Resta
Development Director
