John –
Kyrstin's email yesterday got a HUGE response.
We're incredibly excited that so many of you are ready to get involved to protect our school boards from the Minnesota Parents Alliance and other far-right groups trying to take them over.
We can't take our foot off the gas though. These groups are ready to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to push their far-right views onto our kids.
Thank you,

Subject: this is why we do what we do
Friends -
As we speak, the Minnesota Parents Alliance and their far-right allies are plotting to take control of school boards across Minnesota.
Their goal is simple: roll back protections for LGBTQ+ students, erase much of the civil rights movement from our history classes, and ban books and discussions on a plethora of topics to warp students' education to fit their world view.
I don't think I need to tell you that we must stop it.
We're training candidates to run across the state right now; we've got more than 200 already committed to run, and are ready to give them the support they need to win.
We've got less than six months to go. In fact, Friday is a huge deadline for us.
We need to make decisions about how many races we get involved in this summer and determine what kind of resources we have available for them.
I believe in what we're doing, it's deeply personal to me. So, I want to support as many candidates as possible as strongly as possible this year.
Thank you,
Kyrstin Schuette
