It’s not easy to run against a machine candidate backed by wealthy real estate, fossil fuel and corporate financial interests. It’s never fun seeing careerists, who think little or nothing of the people they’re trying to represent, use old school tactics to bully, misinform or force movements off the ballot.
That is why I am so enormously proud of our remarkable team of volunteers and organizers, who put our campaign on their back and carried us to the ballot with some 3,200 signatures.
Thousands of Philadelphians want to see us on the ballot, fighting for a public bank, equitably funded public schools, and a public health approach to violence. They want to see us follow the money – every penny – because folks in Philly politics all too often take that cash rather than spend it on our communities.
Your support put us on the ballot. You sponsored our team, and our team delivered. Now we’re going to the doors every single day until primary day, just 69 days away.
Please, contribute $50 today to help us launch our doorknocking canvasses this Saturday! We cannot do this without your help.
