Dear Friend,

Eighty percent of Americans support abortion rights.(1) Sixty-one percent
think Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be investigated for
ethics violations.(2) Seventy-five percent support unions for Amazon
workers.(3) More than two-thirds want Louis DeJoy out of the post office
and for the USPS to be run like a public service again.(4)

The public voice is clear: Clarence Thomas, Jeff Bezos, and Louis DeJoy
should not be allowed to act with impunity.

But if we leave our policies up to legislators, special interests with
deep pockets will ensure that these men and other abusers of power will
continue to shirk the will of the public and take our rights.

That’s why I continue to put my heart and soul into Courage California --
because it is up to organizations like us to stand for our 1 million+
members and fight for a more just and equitable society.

We conduct this work with a small team, with as little overhead as
possible, but we just can’t take on these fights without support from you.
As it stands now, our budget can’t fund all of this important work.
Without your help, I will have to make tough decisions about which
campaigns we need to cut -- and I know you care about them all.

donation to Courage California right now?

Courage California (formerly Courage Campaign) makes sure our democracy works for ALL of us by fighting corruption in California politics. We believe the solution lies in exposing and solving systemic problems through strategic organizing, enhancing coordination between progressive organizations, and mobilizing civic engagement from our communities, particularly voters of color, young voters, and self-identified progressives.
