Hey John - it's Summer!
I just got off the phone with my team and they told me something that honestly made my whole day:
They set a $5,000 end-of-month goal for July… and y’all BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER.
And I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU.
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for standing with me. Thank you for proving—once again—that I never stand alone.
This movement is truly powered by the people. By neighbors who look out for each other, folks who believe in justice and fairness, people who pitch in however they can—whether it’s with time, money, or just spreading the word—because they know real change takes all of us.
That’s what we’re building. And every time y’all show up like this, it reminds me exactly why I fight so hard.
So whether you chipped in $5 or $500, shared our emails, forwarded them to a friend, or just kept us in your thoughts—I see you. I appreciate you. And I am so, so grateful to be in this fight with you.
Now look, I know not everyone got the chance to jump in yesterday—and that’s okay!
We’re up against big money, entrenched power, and folks who will throw everything they’ve got at us to protect the status quo. But y’all—we’ve got something way more powerful than all of that. We got each other.
And look, I know that might sound a little cheesy—but it’s the truth. When we’re up against millions of dollars and billionaires trying to buy our democracy, it takes all of us linking arms and showing up however we can.
That’s the only way we win. And honestly? That’s the only way I’d want to win. Together, in community, standing up for what’s right—even when it’s hard.
I’m not gonna lie—this fight isn’t easy. They’re coming hard because they know we’re building something different. Something bold. Something rooted in justice and truth and people—not profits or power.
Let’s keep going. Let’s keep growing. And let’s keep proving that people power is the most unstoppable force there is.
So much love and gratitude,
-Summer Lee
