Why I’m supporting Summer Lee for re-election

Friends, I’m beyond excited to support Summer Lee as she launches her campaign for re-election! Summer made history last year when she became the first Black Congresswoman elected in Pennsylvania and beat out millions of dollars in corporate PAC spending against her. But she didn’t let it slow h…

Resign. Now.

SIGN THE PETITION Friends — Over the course of this year, we’ve seen a travesty of historic proportions unfold before us around the U.S. Supreme Court. The blatant disregard for judicial ethics and the public trust has exposed the GOP’s and conservative Right’s corruption and further eroded the…

Ed + POTUS

Friend — This month marks one year since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest investments in clean energy and climate in U.S. history. This achievement would not have been possible without our movement pushing year after year for transformative action on climate change. In 2…

A $5 movement

Friends — $5. That amount is so crucial to meeting our goal for our August fundraising deadline. You may be wondering what a $5 contribution can possibly do when we’re up against corporate PACs, fossil fuel interests, and far-right mega-donors who want to stop our movement in its tracks. The tru…

“If everyone reading this...”

Friends — You’ve probably heard or read the phrase, “If everyone reading this chipped in right now, we’d meet our goal today.” It’s kind of a mind-blowing idea, isn’t it? A contribution of $5 or $10 may not seem like much. And it’s certainly true that one person’s contribution alone isn’t enough…
