John,

Will you join us in supporting Rep. Chuy Garcia for Mayor of Chicago with a donation of $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford.

Chicago's the third largest city in the country by population, with 2.7 million residents, and a progressive bastion. Which is why it's so important that we elect a Mayor of Chicago with impeccable credentials to reform Chicago's police department, make sure everyone's treated equally under the law and root out corruption in city government.

Congressman Chuy Garcia has led on these issues his entire life. He was the first Mexican American to serve in the Illinois State Legislature. He founded the Little Village Community Development Corporation, which successfully backed criminal justice reform and provided pro bono legal services to immigrants. He has also fought for these priorities during his two terms in Congress, representing Illinois' 4th congressional district as one of the first Mexican-Americans elected to that body. 

 

 

There will be nine candidates in the primary on February 28th, and if nobody gets 50%, it will go to a general run off election with the top two vote getters on April 4th. So it's important for Garcia to raise funds now and increase his name recognition, so he has a strong showing on February 8th, and eventually become the most progressive mayor Chicago's ever had.

Will you join us in supporting Rep. Chuy Garcia for Mayor of Chicago with a donation of $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford.

Thank you for ensuring the Mayor of one of America's great cities represents everyday people and not only those who write big campaign checks.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
