As you know, we are living in a time of massive income and wealth inequality, a global pandemic, the existential threat of climate change, and attacks on the foundation of our democracy — and that's just to name a few.

But in the midst of the many struggles we face, it has never been more important to elect candidates who will fight for a strong, progressive agenda. We need more leaders who have the guts to take on the billionaire class and large corporations and will fight to address the needs of the working class.

Today I am asking you to support Summer Lee, Michelle Vallejo, and Val Hoyle's campaigns for Congress. These are three strong progressives who are running in competitive races, and right now they urgently need our support during these final weeks before Election Day.

They know that the American people have had ENOUGH of our corrupt political and economic systems that favor the ultra-wealthy and large corporations while working people struggle to put food on the table. They know that now is the time to think big, not small, in order to create the changes our country needs, and that the American people want.

If we can help Summer, Michelle, and Val win their elections in just 16 days, we can elect the most progressive Congress this country has ever seen. That is why I'm asking you directly:

Can you please split a contribution between Summer Lee, Michelle Vallejo, and Val Hoyle's campaigns for Congress? We need more progressive leaders in Washington, and your contribution today will make a big difference for their campaigns.

Summer Lee (PA-12) is a dedicated organizer, attorney, and progressive state legislator who took on a 20-year incumbent, doubled voter turnout, and won. Throughout her time in office, she has been a champion for sustainable jobs, environmental justice, police accountability, reproductive rights, immigrant rights, and gender and racial equity. She's a tireless advocate for workers’ rights, unions, and the right to organize.

Michelle Vallejo (TX-15) comes from a big family of farm workers, immigrants, and entrepreneurs. She is a community leader in South Texas who believes that a better world is possible when people unite across differences and work for it together. Through her work, she has empowered immigrants, women, and working-class people. Now she's running for Congress to ensure people of all backgrounds can thrive.

Val Hoyle (OR-04) grew up in a family with union roots dating back three generations. She currently serves as Oregon's Labor Commissioner, a position that defends workers' rights and protects civil rights. As a member of the Oregon state legislature, she led successful efforts to raise the minimum wage, provide paid sick leave, and reduce carbon emissions. She's a tireless advocate for working families and will be an excellent leader in Congress.

These are candidates who understand that we have a rigged economy that benefits the wealthy and they are prepared to take on powerful special interests if elected to Congress. They understand that it is past time to create a government that works for ALL of our people, not just those at the top.

We desperately need more leaders like Summer, Michelle, and Val in Washington, which is why I am asking you one more time:

Can you please split a contribution between Summer Lee, Michelle Vallejo, and Val Hoyle's campaigns for Congress? It's very important that we all come together to support their campaigns.
