Hey John,

Some folks tell me it's not "politically savvy" to speak on controversial topics, or to wade into the "culture war."

They say I'm too blunt. 🙄

Too bad. I'm not going to sugarcoat or ignore racism, transphobia, or poverty. I won't ever stop speaking truth to power, no matter the consequences.

If you're with me, will you chip in to our people-powered campaign today? We've got just 19 days until Election Day so if you've been waiting for a sign it's time to join us, this is it.

I didn't run for office to make wealthy donors and political elites feel comfortable. 👎

I ran for the working people of TN-07. That's why our campaign is 100% grassroots-funded, so I'm accountable to the PEOPLE, not the wealthy and powerful.

To gloss over the trauma that our communities face (or as my opponent Mark Green calls us, "those people") would be an insult and a betrayal. That's just not who I am.

If that ruffles a few feathers, so be it. But if that's the kind of grassroots movement you want to be part of, chip in whatever you can — even $7 — to our campaign to flip TN-07 blue.

Thank you, good people! ✊

– Odessa
