John, have you gotten a chance to join us for this one? You probably have a lot going on (we get it!) and we know it can be hard to keep track of it all if we don’t catch you at just the right time. And this off-season race is important, because …

 
In 10 days, there will be a special election in Virginia's 4th Congressional District. Our incredible Democratic candidate, Jennifer McClellan, would be the first African-American to represent the district and another vote for Leader Hakeem Jeffries! She describes herself like this:
---
I believe in the power of government to make people’s lives better — and I’ve spent the past 18 years as a public servant helping Virginians and solving problems, from passing the Voting Rights Act of Virginia to the Reproductive Health Protection Act.

But my work doesn’t stop here – because there are still more people to help and problems to solve.

My team has a plan to win. We’re distributing yard signs, airing new ads, and meeting voters all over the district – but our critical voter outreach efforts are expensive.

McClellan's opponent, Leon Benjamin, is a MAGA NUT who pushed the dangerous conspiracy theory Trump didn't lose the 2020 election and when Benjamin ran for this seat in 2022 and lost, he refused to concede. He's a bigot who attacks immigrants, and he'll provide Kevin McCarthy another vote in Congress. 
 
We must ensure that in 10 days we send Jennifer McClellan, not this nutcase, to Congress. We don't need more Marjorie Taylor Greenes in the Capitol.
 
 
Thank you so much, Blue Amp Action community!

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.
