Dear friend,
As a civil rights attorney — and as a patriot — GOP efforts to undermine voting rights, reproductive rights, the rights of LGBTQ+ people and everybody’s economic mobility are deeply concerning.
But as an improbable but successful candidate for governor, I know that ordinary people, taking active responsibility for their own civic future, can change politics in every corner of our country.
That is why Groundwork Project’s mission to create long-term citizen engagement in traditionally overlooked states is so vital to a better America for all of us.
Join me in supporting Groundwork Project by giving now.
Joe Kennedy and I have worked closely together in Massachusetts politics. He shows up in places where others don't. He understands that making sure every person is seen, heard and counted isn't some empty political tactic – it's the fundamental promise that makes us Americans. It’s also what makes Joe and me Democrats.
Groundwork Project is inspired by the same philosophy that moves my work at BridgeTogether: voters everywhere, not just in so-called battleground states, need to be encouraged to shape their own futures — especially in the face of today’s egregious attacks on our democracy — and supported as they do.
2022 is a big election year. By investing early and committing to long-term support, Groundwork Project is helping build critical infrastructure in the Deep South, Appalachia, and the Plains, for the future we can shape through elections — in 2022 and beyond.
Groundwork Project is a worthy cause. Join me in giving now to support the communities who aren’t always heard.
Thank you,
Deval Patrick
Former Governor of Massachusetts
