The most emojis you’ve ever seen in an email

This is a number we simply won’t reach… but that’s okay. Hey John. Last week, Michael Bloomberg — the 9th richest person in the world — officially joined the Democratic primary field. And he immediately dropped $31 million on TV ads in just his first week as a candidate for pre…

2018 vs 2019

We’re nearly two thirds of the way through our final FEC fundraising quarter of the year. The not so great news is that, as of this morning, we’re $18,107 behind where we were at this point in the quarter in 2018. But we have good news too: John, We’re nearly two thirds of …

This is an existential threat to WFP

This is the most brazen attack we’ve seen yet. Andrew Cuomo thinks he can kill us and stifle our movement. But together, we’ll show him just how wrong he is. Dear John, For months, Governor Andrew Cuomo has been telling close allies he wants to kill the Working Families Party…

Walmart billionaires attacking Elizabeth Warren

This astro-turf protest is a clear sign that billionaires like the Waltons are growing even more restless. They see the writing on the wall — that their mountains of limitless wealth and unchecked power are at risk — and are scaling up the attacks. John, Last week, Elizabet…

John, On Thursday night, I witnessed one of the most historic speeches to be given in my lifetime. At Clark Atlanta University, Elizabeth Warren addressed a crowd of HBCU students and told the story of the historic Atlanta Washerwoman strike of 1881, where black washerwomen, …

Building Black political power

John, Too often, when we talk about multiracial organizing, there's a tendency to avoid race and ask Black folks who have been on the receiving end of systemic oppression not to talk about it or act to stop it. But here at the Working Families Party, we recognize that we need B…

The political machine is scared (they should be)

This is far from the only place where the Working Families Party is taking the fight to entrenched, corrupt corporate power. John, Yesterday morning, I was standing in the audience as corrupt New Jersey political machine boss George Norcross was set to testify in the State Sena…
