Believe it or not, some people are ALREADY getting their ballots for November’s elections. Absentee ballots started hitting mailboxes in some states last week.
Are you eligible to vote by mail? The requirements and the deadlines vary from state to state. You can check your state’s requirements and request your own ballot over on Vote.org [[link removed]] .

BNC Reps fighting back on Manchin’s #DirtyDeal
If you thought Joe Manchin’s sudden support for the sweeping climate legislation in the Inflation Reduction Act was too good to be true – you were correct.
Senator Coal Baron has once again extracted his pound of carbon profits in exchange for his vote by making a dirty deal with Chuck Schumer to enrich his fossil fuel donors.
Disguised as “permitting reform” and slipped into the upcoming omnibus spending bill, Manchin’s deal will actually deregulate and accelerate permits for new fossil fuel projects like offshore drilling and pipelines.
But House Democrats aren’t taking this lying down. A shockingly broad coalition of more than 70 House Democrats – including BNC representatives – signed a letter to Speaker Pelosi pressuring her to leave the provision out of the upcoming omnibus vote.

This revolt against corporate-friendly, establishment politics is further proof that progressive values are WINNING in Washington, and our BNC representatives are driving the dialogue.
We’ve got the chance to grow progressive power and DOUBLE the number of BNC representatives in office this November. Want to help them all win?

Welcome to the slate Maxwell Alejandro Frost!
Last week we unveiled the first of several big announcements with Maxwell Frost joining the BNC Slate.
We are excited about this announcement after being in close communication with Maxwell’s team for months.
Maxwell is a gun violence survivor, a civil rights activist, a community organizer, an Uber driver, and – after winning last month’s primary – he is now the Democratic nominee for Florida’s 10th congressional district.

Maxwell is set to become the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress, and the youngest person of color ever elected to federal office.
Last week’s announcement also means we just doubled the BNC Florida caucus. Maxwell was one of the first to congratulate Sheila on winning her special election this last January, and we’re excited to see him join all of our BNC representatives in Congress next year.

If you didn’t have a chance to welcome Maxwell to the slate, please consider splitting a contribution between Brand New Congress and his historic campaign now.

We want to hear your Student Loan Stories
Thank you to everyone who has already taken our Student Debt survey [[link removed]] and shared your experiences. We’ve been reading your responses, and it really shows why we have to keep the pressure on Congress and President Biden to finish the job and forgive ALL student debt.
Here’s what one supporter had to say:

If you haven’t had a chance to share your story, would you take just a couple of minutes now to share what student debt cancellation would mean for you?

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal and electing bold progressive fighters. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020. With seven BNC Reps currently in office [[link removed]] , we are growing progressive power in Congress.
This November we’re working to flip multiple red seats, fill open seats with bold progressives, and elect our first BNC Senator by defeating Rand Paul.
Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
