John, it seems like we are underestimating the critical importance of down-ballot victories. Not only is the power of these offices crucial themselves, but down-ballot success absolutely translates up!
In many areas across rural America, Republican control at the local and state level has stopped progress in its tracks. Gerrymandering is just one example. We recently reported to you about Republican county boards withholding ARPA funding from their own communities for petty personal and partisan reasons.
We need leaders who selflessly work for the good of their communities, not leverage their control to secure yet more power in an attempt to satisfy insatiable greed.
ROCC partners have successfully won victories in their local communities by leading on the issues that matter to working families. We are packaging those successful techniques as training tools to be adapted and applied to other areas through direct consultation between organizers across rural America.
It's a network built to benefit from the sum of our experiences and bridge rural Democrats together in an efficient organizing infrastructure. A system that we have lacked for far too long.
It's time to stop playing catch-up and start going on the offensive. Help win these seats from the ground up by empowering local leaders on their own turf. John, will you chip in a small donation to support our best rural organizers through ROCC?
