Here's what you can do right now:
Solidarity.
It's not just a buzzword or a catchphrase, John. It's how we run this campaign, and it's how I'll represent PA-12 in Congress.
I was proud to join the workers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the picket line Thursday because abusive working conditions and attacks on the free press by conservative ownership only end up kicking good journalists out of newsrooms.
If you agree with me, here's what you can do right now: Chip in to our campaign for Congress. Pittsburgh's a union town and my anti-union GOP opponent poses a huge threat to organized labor here.

John, this isn't just about campaigning for me. In fact, I'm doing what most political pundits would probably recommend against. I'm refusing all interviews with the Post-Gazette until after this strike is over because that's what solidarity means to me.
Unions are one of our greatest tools to reduce inequality, raise wages, and support better benefits and job protection. In the state legislature, I've advocated for legislation that supports a livable wage. And in Congress, I'll work to see the PRO Act become law, pass a Green New Deal with a union jobs guarantee, raise the minimum wage, and strengthen the labor movement.
John, this campaign is about the working families and everyday people of Western Pennsylvania. If you're with me, will you chip in $5 or more today to help power this campaign all the way to Election Day?
Gratitude and solidarity,
Summer
P.S. if you want to do more, add your name to this letter in support of the striking Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers.
