Hey John,
As we celebrate six years of building sustainable progressive power, I can't help but think about the reason it's all been possible:
You.
Every day, grassroots supporters bet their hard-earned money on hope and the idea that transformational change is possible. Not in some hypothetical, obscure future, but
right now.
And that bet has paid off. Because of our amazing grassroots supporters, we keep electing diverse young progressives year after year, cycle after cycle.
Whether it's $10 or $2500 — your investment makes a huge difference,
especially in these so-called "off" years when political campaigns typically see a dip in donations.
This year, there are tens of thousands of school boards, city councils, and state legislature races happening across the country — we’re not slowing down for one second. Chip in
$5
or more to ensure we elect diverse young progressives in every one of these races to keep building progressive political power.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
To give you an idea where your money goes, over the past six years, Run for Something has:
- Recruited over 125,000 young, diverse progressives to run for office
- Endorsed over 2,500 candidates across all 50 states and DC
- Won over 1,000 elections and elected over 800 candidates across 48 states
- And since 2020, over 50% of our endorsed candidates identify as women or nonbinary, over 50% identify as BIPOC, and over 20% identify as LGBTQIA+
Run for Something candidates are renters fighting for affordable housing. They're immigrants and Dreamers fighting for healthcare, racial justice, and education. They're GenZ and Millennial lawmakers pushing bills to end gun violence, address climate change, and grow representation for young people.
And with you in the fight, we're going to find and elect hundreds — THOUSANDS — more. Together, we're building a progressive, sustainable, diverse, and equitable future one race at a time.
We just have a few hours left of our first end-of-month fundraising goal of 2023, chip in
$5
or more to elect diverse young progressives everywhere and give our country something to hope for.
Let's do this,
Kate Resta
Vice President of Development
