Hi John,
Underinvestment in GOTV and elections infrastructure. Establishment blacklists against progressive challengers. Opponents flush with corporate and real estate money.
This is the battlefield New American candidates contested this year. Although the odds were stacked against us, NAL alumni WON BIG, for an overall win rate of 65%.
As someone invested in New American communities, you have helped NAL claim real victories for inclusive democracy!

She

a
seat
in
the

her
re-election

The NAL Network, the community we’ve built together , has been a backbone for New American campaigns this year. You’ve helped these candidates persevere despite bleak prospects for victory at the ballot box.
We are charting a new path to victory, which relies on authentic community-building and real accountability to immigrants, women, and working class families.
Are you ready to send out-of-touch candidates packing? Donate $500, $250, $100, or $75 to NAL today and help us train our newest immigrant advocates in office. [[link removed]]
There’s so much to be done, and I am confident our network will rise to the occasion. Wishing you a joyful and safe New Year!
