Weed

We need to put pressure on elected officials in District of Columbia to attain marijuana justice. John, Last week, President Biden announced pardons for thousands of people who had been previously convicted of possessing marijuana. He also called for a review of the drug'…

No seat is guaranteed

We have a pivotal role to play. John, New York is not your typical battleground state, but this has not been a typical election cycle. As the New York Times recently wrote, “After a haywire redistricting process, New York has more congressional battlegrounds than nearly …

Invest in our future

Michelle Vallejo won’t be able to win this race alone. Let’s show the DCCC that we need to be investing in Latina candidates who champion working families now more than ever. John, The DCCC just dumped yet another progressive candidate in a winnable district. Today, it’s Miche…

Two sets of rules

The scandal is not in their actions, but in their absolute hypocrisy. By now, you’ve probably seen the most recent scandal surrounding Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia: But let’s be clear, John: This story is not about Walker’s actio…

Stacey Abrams

We know what we’re up against. I have news out of Georgia, John: A new poll shows Stacey Abrams just two points behind in her campaign for Governor.1 Georgia Republicans have only doubled down on their voter suppression tactics since Stacey’s first run in 2018, and in a …

The fight in Wisconsin is getting ugly

How we won by 24 votes

Even one volunteer shift could end up making the difference. Hello, John! My name is Jules. I’m a hairdresser from Delaware, and not that long ago, I’d never even heard of DeShanna Neal — a WFP candidate who won her primary for State Representative here in Delaware last month by…

A crucial ally in our fight

Hi John, it’s Elizabeth Warren. I’ll be blunt: If Republicans take back power this November, they’ll launch even more attacks on our fundamental freedoms, and they’ll work even harder than they already have to rig the rules of our economy in favor of the wealthy and well-…
