John,
My name is Lily. I’m sixteen years old and I call Kentucky home. I’m not old enough to vote yet, but I know groundbreaking politics when I see it, and I'm giving everything I've got to the Senate election in my home state this year.
This past week, Sunrise Movement endorsed Representative Charles Booker officially entered the Senate race to defeat Mitch McConnell and bring in the decade of the Green New Deal. The announcement came just a month following the youth climate strikes-- the same day our Bowling Green hub delivered our national endorsement of Booker’s exploratory campaign. Walking hand-in-hand, we declared Booker the Senate candidate with the political agenda bold enough to end Mitch’s corporate reign over state and national politics.
Mitch’s corporate hold on politics is like a disease. The only cure is a people-powered movement. That’s exactly what Charles Booker’s campaign is all about: building a movement big enough to withstand corporate money and establishment politics that enable business-as-usual. Chip in today to join us in supporting Charles Booker’s Senate campaign.

Here’s the thing: we’re not just up against Big Oil and the GOP, we’re also up against a Democratic establishment primary challenger, Amy McGrath who continues to lack the political courage this moment requires. In the face of McConnell’s gross obstructionism, McGrath continues to waffle on impeachment, but still the Democratic establishment just yesterday announced the formation of a Super PAC to support her campaign. Her team of lobbyists on Capitol Hill are gearing up to use this corporate money to undermine the democratic primary process in Kentucky.
As the story goes: the Democratic Party will fight tooth and nail to fix their chosen candidate as the only candidate, and sideline our grassroots movement in the process. That’s why, as we get closer to the primary, we need your help to sustain this campaign and turn it into a political reality. Can you donate to Booker’s campaign to help bring the fight for the Green New Deal straight to Mitch McConnell’s doorstep?

For the first time in my life, we have a serious candidate that is prepared to lead a movement of Kentuckians against Mitch and his billionaire friends. This is a historical opportunity to elect a Democrat that’ll fight alongside us, not above us. Please join me in helping to propel this movement and our momentum into the primary season.
See you in the streets and at the ballot box,
Lily
