69% of Democrats say “the Democratic Party should encourage elderly leaders to retire and pass the torch to the next generation.”
John,
If you’re reading this email right now, I’m going to make a bold assumption:
You care *a lot* about the future of the Democratic Party.
I do too, John. I want our party to be strong. And I believe that building a strong party requires us to actually listen to our voters.
In a recent poll, 69% of Democrats say “the Democratic Party should encourage elderly leaders to retire and pass the torch to the next generation.”
The base of our party has spoken loud and clear. The time for new leadership is right now.
That’s why Leaders We Deserve announced a major $20 million effort to support young leaders who step up to run against ineffective, out-of-touch Democrats in safe blue seats.
Too many elected leaders in the Democratic Party are either unwilling or unable to meet the moment and are asleep at the wheel while Trump is demolishing the economy, challenging the foundations of our democracy, and creating new existential crises for our country by the day.
Together, we will elect young leaders with the energy, vision, and urgency our party needs to meet this moment. Please donate $5 to power this important work.
Here’s what I know makes Gen Z uniquely qualified to speak to the issues we’re facing right now:
No other generation grew up as the “mass shooting” generation.
No other generation was raised in our hyper-polarized media landscape dominated by social media, technology, disinformation, and AI.
No other generation grew up at a time when Donald Trump and his deranged MAGA cult have defined the Republican Party. The conservative party of our parents’ generation simply doesn’t exist anymore.
And despite it all, WE are the ones most directly impacted by most of the legislation being debated in Congress and in state houses across the country. WE are the ones who will actually live through the consequences of this damage.
Leaders We Deserve exists to elect young, audacious, and charismatic leaders who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. And with your help, we are already making that happen.
If you can, please contribute $5 to elect the young, progressive leaders we deserve. This work can’t happen without you.

Thank you,
