The special interests trying to defeat progressives aren’t slowing down

Hey, quick update: Every month we have a fundraising goal to ensure our campaign can continue staffing up, recruiting more volunteers, and engaging more voters. And since we are entirely grassroots-funded, whether or not we meet these goals is determined by small-dollar donors like you. We’r…

Invest in candidates of color

In order to run for office, women and especially women of color face a huge gap in funding. I’m sure you’ve seen the numbers. Kamala’s campaign has been breaking fundraising records since the day she became the party’s presumptive nominee. As a Black woman in politics who has been campaigning…

It was never about the pets

Give now to support IFSI I hate to give this right-wing conspiracy theory any more airtime than it’s already getting, but this one hits close to home for my district. The former occupant of the White House and his running mate are spreading vicious, racist lies about Haitian migrants. You may…

The TLDR on last night

If you tuned in to the debate last night, you know that we’ve got to do everything we can to elect Kamala Harris and prevent that unhinged, dangerous former-occupant of the White House from being re-elected. If you didn’t tune in last evening, here’s what went down: Kamala Harris didn’t just…

Some of my favorite authors have been banned

There’s no room for censorship in our libraries I count Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou among my favorite writers. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, it was when I read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings that I knew I wasn’t alone. For many of us, the same books that have been banned by Rep…

Then and now

The world we’re fighting for is possible. I am beyond proud of what this team has achieved. In Tuesday’s primary election, Massachusetts voters decisively chose me as their Democratic nominee, poised for a fourth term in Congress. I am no less honored and humbled today than I was six years ag…

On strike

I know what it’s like to be part of an invisible workforce. This Labor Day, I stand in solidarity with the striking brothers and sisters of UNITE HERE Local 26, which represents service workers across the hospitality industry – in hotels, casinos, food service, and airports. Local 26 recently…

Thanks, Citizens United

There’s power in our numbers, and a $5 donation can help This is a longer note about our campaign finance system, but it’s important. Outside spending in the 2024 election cycle has just surpassed $1 billion, nearly twice the amount that was spent in the 2020 election (and we still have two m…

Our movement vs. a crypto lawyer

Our elections are not for sale. Not now — not ever. It’s Elizabeth Warren. Ayanna and I have our primary elections coming up next week, and I’m reaching out because anything you’re able to contribute to our re-election campaigns today will be a huge help. I want to share more on why: Your sup…

Just 5 🖐🏽more days to get involved

Let’s decisively reelect Ayanna next Tuesday. Hi, FIRST – When Ayanna first ran for Congress in 2018, pundits and pollsters said she didn’t have a chance. The closest poll had her 20 points down. THEN – Our campaign expanded the electorate, engaged new voters, and beat a 10-term incumbent by…

My Primary Election

Give today to show the strength of our movement When I first ran for Congress in 2018, pundits and pollsters alike said I didn’t have a chance. The closest poll said we were going to lose by 20 points. But 60,046 voters went to the ballot box, colored in that little circle next to my name and…

The world our mothers fought for

Last night as I stood on the floor watching Kamala Devi Harris accept the party’s Presidential nomination I was overcome with emotion and gratitude as I sat in the historic nature of this moment. I thought of the generations of mothers and daughters who have hoped and dreamed of this moment.…

My op-ed on Kamala Harris’ candidacy

This is on behalf of everyone who has ever been left out and left behind. When I first met Kamala Harris, I realized the clear similarities between our personal stories. Not only the challenges we faced as Black women in politics, but also the overlaps in our upbringing, the strength our moth…

re: Childless cat ladies

Get your free sticker today Doesn’t it seem like every time JD Vance opens his mouth, something alarming comes out? He supports a national abortion ban. After calling Trump "America's Hitler," he told him, "I will faithfully serve by your side. He spews misinformation about the 2020 election.…

Too controversial for the public? Then it shouldn’t shape our democracy

Project 2025 is not a threat, it’s a promise. The people behind Project 2025 are hiding a key part of their dangerous manifesto. They’ve touted a “secret” 180-day action plan to overhaul every federal agency and fundamentally reshape our democracy as we know it. And they refuse to release it …

I'm personally asking

This movement's support is something I will never take for granted. Friends, This is Ilhan Omar, reaching out ahead of my primary election on Tuesday. If you were to ask me what the worst part about running for Congress is, I'd say that it's the obscene amount of money it takes to build a suc…

Team Cori 💜

There is no place for outside spending in our campaigns My sister-in-service Cori Bush fought hard for the people of St. Louis. Her movement for the people and by the people proves that progressive values benefit the whole community. And her loss in the primary this week, though heartbreaking…

Let’s translate excitement into resources for the Harris/Walz campaign

I’m doing everything I can to advocate for our progressive values on the trail Vice President Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate today. As a former public school teacher, Governor Tim Walz never forgets the people. He fights for every worker and family who…

We need Kamala in the White House

Split a gift with the Harris Campaign today I’ve been on the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris, spending time with voters and advocates talking about why she's the best candidate to protect and restore reproductive freedom, and the person we need in the White House. I hosted a r…

If Donald still hasn’t figured out how to pronounce Kamala, perhaps Madam President will do just fine.

“I have been the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.” At first I couldn’t believe those words came out of Donald Trump’s mouth. But on second thought, it wasn’t all that surprising, because he has a long history of outlandish, offensive lies. During a panel at the …

Trump’s America vs. Our America

Please give before midnight to support our movement The stakes in this election couldn’t be clearer. In Donald Trump’s America, people in every corner of our country could be forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term — even one caused by rape or incest. It wouldn’t matter if you live in a…
